More than 8,000 km² in Japan contaminated with cesium-137 at 30,000 Bq/m² — “Size may increase in the future”www.asahi.com/english/TKY201109130348.htmlFukushima cesium contamination widespread but less than Chernobyl, Asahi, September 14, 2011: An extensive area of more than 8,000 square kilometers has accumulated cesium 137 levels of 30,000 becquerels per square meter or more after the accident at the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant, according to Asahi Shimbun estimates. [...] The Asahi Shimbun calculated the size of the contaminated area based on a distribution map of accumulated cesium 137 levels measured from aircraft, which was released by the science ministry on Sept. 8. The estimated size may increase in the future because the distribution map will be subject to corrections and because it currently covers only five prefectures. [...] Breakdown * Fukushima Prefecture: About 6,000 square kilometers * Northern Tochigi Prefecture: About 1,370 square kilometers * Southern Miyagi Prefecture: 380 square kilometers * Ibaraki Prefecture: About 260 square kilometers

Partial uneducated fear mongering. If you scram a nuclear plant from full power, the reactor cores put out about five percent of previous power for about five days. That means you need Diesel Generators and fuel sufficient to run the cooling system for five days. If the Grid goes down, we have reason to fear, but we have almost a certain expectancy that we will be able to restore power to the cooling systems of the plants. After a week, cooling requirement are greatly lessened. |

U. of Tokyo analysis: Mystery explosion at Reactor No. 4 caused by radiation dissolving water in boiling spent fuel pool — Contradicts TEPCO’s assumptionmdn.mainichi.jp/mdnnews/news/20110914p2a00m0na012000c.htmlHydrogen dissolved from water exploded at Fukushima nuclear reactor: experts, Mainichi Japan, September 14, 2011: [...] Experts believe the explosion [at the No. 4 reactor building] occurred partly because huge amounts of hydrogen were produced in the process of water being dissolved by radiation in a boiling spent nuclear fuel pool. A group of researchers from the University of Tokyo and the Japan Atomic Energy Agency made an analysis of the hydrogen explosion at the No. 4 reactor [...] Tokyo Electric Power Co. [...] assumes that hydrogen entered the No. 4 reactor from the No. 3 reactor through a common exhaust pipe and exploded. [...]

Americium-241 h/t Bobby1 Ultimate impact of damage to Japan nuclear reactors still unknown, Washington Post, March 13, 2011: [...] Plutonium-241 presents a more insidious threat. It is not very toxic, but as it slowly decays, it produces the much more dangerous isotope americium-241. [Timothy Mousseau of the University of South Carolina, who has spent the past decade studying the ecological consequences of the 1986 Chernobyl disaster,] said concentrations of americium are still increasing in Ukraine and Belarus, where unspent plutonium fuel from Chernobyl dispersed. “It looks like (americium-241) will peak in about 2050 in these areas,” he said.

Tepco’s Fuksuhima Dai-Ni Will Be Decommissioned, Mainichi Says www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-09-16/tepco-s-fuksuhima-dai-ni-will-be-decommissioned-mainichi-says.htmlTokyo Electric Power Co. will need to decommission its Fukushima Dai-Ni nuclear power plant, the Mainichi newspaper reported, citing Japan’s trade and industry minister Yukio Edano. The government is unlikely to get agreement from residents of Fukushima prefecture to restart the Dai-Ni station, Edano told the Mainichi. The Dai-Ni plant is located to the south of the Fukushima Dai-Ichi station, which has been emitting radiation since March 11 when an earthquake and tsunami knocked out cooling, causing three reactors to meltdown. The Dai-Ni station was also shut down in the disaster. |

The core from Reactor Three and possibly the core from Reactor One are experiencing partial criticality in the ground at Fukushima. The many reports of radioactive iodine being found in rain in North America and in Japan is all the confirmation that we need.

Japanese Minister who calls it like it really is is fired. He called the zone around Fukushima the "Zone of Death" (also translated as Town of Death) and also said that he hoped to "Shut Down" (Phase Out) Nuclear Power in Japan.search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/fd20110918pb.htmlThe Japanese Twittersphere is still buzzing that it wasn't the public that was offended by Hachiro's remark but rather Tokyo Electric Power Company, which is still working out a payment system for residents harmed by the accident. Hachiro stated at his news conference when he assumed the METI position that "in principle" he would work to phase out nuclear energy.

Japan cut in two? Prime Minister Kan: 30 million in Tokyo faced evacuation scenario — “I wasn’t sure whether Japan could continue to function as a state”Exodus eyed early in nuke crisis, Kyodo, September 19, 2011: Tokyo faced evacuation scenario: Kan search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/nn20110919a1.html In the days immediately after the crisis began at the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant, the government received a report saying 30 million residents in the Tokyo metropolitan area would have to be evacuated in a worst-case scenario, former Prime Minister Naoto Kan revealed in a recent interview. [...] “It was a crucial moment when I wasn’t sure whether Japan could continue to function as a state,” he said. After the March 11 earthquake and tsunami crippled the plant, Kan instructed several entities to simulate a worst-case scenario. One of those assessments said everyone residing within 200 to 250 km of the plant — an zone that would encompass half to all of Tokyo and cut clear across Honshu to the Sea of Japan — would have to be evacuated.

I think there was a recriticality where melted fuel started a chain reaction again: UCSD researcher — Largest amount of radioactive materials released since AprilSOURCE: Digital Globe Japanese Researcher: Recriticality in July and August? ex-skf.blogspot.com/2011/09/japanese-researcher-recriticality-in.htmlwpb.shueisha.co.jp/2011/09/12/6900/ … Indeed, there are some inexplicable numbers reported on the air radiation levels by the government agencies. That is, a big rise in the radiation levels from late July to mid August. [...] [Dr. Yoyo Hinuma of the University of California San Diego said,] “I think there was a recriticality in which the melted fuel started a chain reaction again in one of the reactors at Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant, and that the largest amount of radioactive materials since April was released from the plant. It may have happened twice. The first was between July 28 and 31. The second was between August 19 and 21. That the large amount of radioactive materials were released can be clearly seen in the radiation survey data in Tokyo and Yokohama City, where it is suspected that the announced radiation levels are lower than the actual levels. So it’s a scientific fact.” [...] “Further analyzing the data, we find that August saw a more definite rise than July. It may have been caused by the so-called “prompt criticality” which is bigger and lasts longer. The large amount of radioactive cesium and radioactive iodine released as the result may have reached the Tokyo Metropolitan area, raising the air radiation level”, says Dr. Hinuma. [...] We’d have to admit that there is a high possibility that the recriticality happened this summer at Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant, at least twice, and fresh radioactive materials are being released. [...] Hinuma cites some examples * Tokyo Metropolitan government data showed air radiation level on August 19 was 0.0865 microsievert/hour (maximum), 1.4 times as high as the previous day. * On the same day, Yokohama City measured 0.051 microsievert/hour, the level last recorded in late March. * Since the end of July high level of iodine-131 have started to show up in the “dehydrated sewer sludge” in Tokyo and Kanagawa Prefecture. Half life of iodine-131 is 8 days, so it couldn’t have come from the criticality that happened in March. * In August, radiation that exceeded the safety standard was detected in tens of sandboxes in the parks where children play, and the use of the sandboxes was prohibited until the sand was replaced. But before July, air radiation at most of these sandboxes measured lower than the safety standard.

Typhoon 15th, 960hPa hit Hamamatsu on 2PM and is heading to north east,straight to Fukushima. (50km/h) fukushima-diary.com/2011/09/breaking-news-typhoons-hitting-fukushima/#commentsAs far as reported,most of the metropolitan transportation is stopped. There have been black out for four times from 4PM to 6PM. Now over 100,000 houses are out of power. Radiation level is spiking up around in Tokyo and Fukushima. * In Kawasaki, 0.05 uSv/h → 0.10 uSv/h * In Futabamachi,Fukushima,it’s 21 uSv/h now. Wind is blowing from South to North,and it’s very salty. It’s assumed typhoon is spreading the sea water around. Radiation is assumed to have come from the sea! ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This is a spike of radiation detected in the air. Since the winds are blowing in from the sea it would lead people to believe that highly contaminated sea water is blowing inland. That is one explanation. Another would be that Fukushima particulate radiation from those three nuclear volcanoes is being blown out and around by the hurricane winds and now more radiation is being deposited in Tokyo.
With each day they are coming closer and closer to having to evacuate MILLIONS of people as the particulate radiation continues to increase and increase. |

Just another TEPCO and Japanese Government ruse to keep the sheeple under mind control. The Reactor Vessels have not been a serious consideration since March 15th when TEPCO knew that the Reactor Cores were no longer in the vessel. As I told you so many months ago, the cores burned their way through the bottom of the reactor vessels and are working their way deeper in to the earth below the reactor. That is the reason for the tremendous release of radioactive gases from holes in the ground outside of the reactor buildings. Those gases are contaminating the whole world. Radiation levels around Fukushima plant now over 400 times higher than announced by TEPCO!!!TEPCO burdened with task of treating contaminated water at damaged nuclear plant, Mainichi Japan, September 21, 2011: mdn.mainichi.jp/mdnnews/news/20110921p2a00m0na013000c.html The government is pouring effort into bringing the temperature at Unit 2 of the Fukushima No. 1 Nuclear Power Plant under 100 degrees Celsius to prevent the release of radioactive materials through steam [...] According to data from the plant’s operator, Tokyo Electric Power Co. (TEPCO), the level of radioactive materials released from the plant between Sept. 1 and 15 reached 200 million becquerels per hour. Meanwhile, dosages of up to 0.4 millisieverts per year were estimated at the boundary of the nuclear power plant – about the same level as that announced by TEPCO in August. [...] TEPCO has announced for the past two months that the radiation dose at the boundary of the Fukushima Daiichi plant is 0.4 millisieverts/year or 400 microsieverts/year. The September 22 radiation dose over 4 km from reactor meltdowns was 22 microsieverts/hour or 192,440 microsieverts/year. |

Yellow powder reported in North Kanto area after rain, as happened in late March fukushima-diary.com/2011/09/news-japan-after-the-typhoon/ [... ]Just like after the rain in March (After the mushroom cloud explosion of Reactor Three at Fukushima.), yellow powder was found in North Kanto area, where Utsunomiya is. In March, the yellow powder phenomena was found everywhere after the rain too [... the] government explained it was pollen or yellow sand from China, but strangely, nobody had ever seen it before though pollen and yellow sand fly every year. The yellow powder was found in Chernobyl too. It looks “like” cesium powder actually. [...] (Radiation levels spiked at that time.) Taken Sept. 22 (SOURCE: Fukushima Diary) Related Posts 1. “Yellow rain” recently reported in Tokyo also happened after Chernobyl — Government assured residents it was highly radioactive pollen March 24, 2011 2. “Yellow rain” around Tokyo caused by radioactive pollen officials say – Rain may have contained radioactivity March 24, 2011. The Japenese government is cautioning the public not to be alarmed as there is variations in background radiation all of the time.
