Radioactive Mud on the Seafloor 124 Miles from Fukushima
13 09 2012From RSOE –
A significant quantity of radioactive cesium, likely from the crippled Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant, has turned up in subsea mud about 200 kilometers away, near the mouth of the Shinanogawa River on Japan’s northwestern coast. Scientists said samples taken in 2011 at Nagaoka, Niigata Prefecture, contained concentrations of up to 460 becquerels per kilogram of dry mud, a level comparable to that detected at a river mouth in Tokyo Bay last year. Some isotopes of cesium are heavily radioactive. . . . (more)

Worldwide Mortalities from Nuclear Power
2 08 2012Normal operations of nuclear fuel cycle, 1980 to 2012,synergistically complicit in causing 110 million infant mortalities worldwide and 10 million in India.
The worldwide nuclear capacity grew from 135541 MW in 1980 to 376824 MW in 2011. Assuming a 0.1 % Cs137 inventory leak worldwide, the Cs137 leak increased from 481171 Ci in 1980 to 35905664 Ci in 2011. The Yearly Cumulative Indian Infant Mortality increased from 3295470 in 1980 to 65946980 in 2010. The excess Infant Mortality over that corresponding to the compound interest rate 2001/1980 grew from 0 in 1980 to 502228 in 2010 and cumulative excess from 1980 to 2010 was 9595642. . .

Lucas Whitefield Hixson Reports: Cesium found in bamboo shoots over 200 kilometers from Fukushima Daiichi + More Cesium Stories
28 03 2012
Radiation released from the Fukushima nuclear disaster continues to pose threat to Japan’s food chain as unsafe levels of cesium found in products on supermarket shelves have continued to be detected in the produce, the land, and the ocean. In the past 2 months at least 3 types of fish including Japanese Sea Bass have been found to contain radioactive cesium levels over the stricter reference levels of 100 Becquerel per kilogram. Miyagi Prefecture and fisheries cooperatives are considering asking fishers in the prefecture to voluntarily[!!] refrain from catching the fish.
Contamination has been found in bamboo shoots grown for food in at least three cities in Chiba prefecture, over 200 kilomoters from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant . . . (more)
Nuke researcher, Lucas Whitefield Hixson, has been doing stellar work since this disaster happened – F.C.
And the excellent Fukushima Diary (translates Japanese news into English) has this:
18,700 Bq/Kg from fish in Iidate mura
Mainichi Daily News – 44 Japanese municipalities test school lunches for cesium
” . . . Of the 74 municipalities, seven have adopted stricter allowable cesium[!!] density levels for food products than the central government standard, taking effect Sunday, of 100 becquerels per kilogram.
The stricter levels include 4 becquerels per kg for Sapporo, 10 becquerels for Yamagata, 40 becquerels for Fukui and Tokyo’s Adachi and Sumida wards, 50 becquerels for Kyoto and the absence of cesium detection for Tottori. . . . “
Mar. 30 – 18 Bq/kg of Radioactive Cesium from Canned Salmon
950 becquerels per kilogram of Cesium found in Shioya Shiitake in Tochigi Prefecture
San Francisco Bay Area milk sample has highest amount of Cesium-137 since last June — Almost double EPA’s maximum contaminant level

Breaking: Big Problems at Fukushima Daini + POWER DOWN THERE
17 01 2012From Fukushima Diary –
Breaking news : SPF cooling system got stopped at reactor 2,3,6,and 1,3 of daini
SFP cooling system of reactor 2,3,6 and 1 and 3 of Daini were stopped because of the trouble of power exchanging facility in Iwaki Fukushima.
Along with the cooling system of SFP, cesium absorbing system, nitrogen injecting system for reactor 1,2,3, and gas purifying system of reactor 2 were stopped too.
The hydrogen gas level is still high in reactor1~3. Stopping injection on nitrogen gas may cause another hydrogen explosion.
NEW!

Japan is just burying radioactive ash from Fukushima (debris burning)
28 09 2011sick –
Radioactive ash from metropolitan area has nowhere to go
Incinerator ash containing high levels of radioactive cesium is piling up in some municipalities around Tokyo as Kosaka, a town in Akita Prefecture that has one of the largest private-sector ash landfills in Japan, has shut its doors to ash from the metropolitan area since July.
Kosaka adopted the tough stance after it was revealed that ash containing levels of cesium exceeding the government-set limit shipped from the city of Matsudo, Chiba Prefecture, had been buried at its landfill without notice. . . .
