2014 Update - Total Fukushima Radiation Released Into Ocean, Air, Groundwater, Storage Tanks, etc


16 October, 2014




What is the Total Radiation Released Into Ocean, Air, Groundwater, Storage Tanks, etc, starting on 3/11/2011, from the Fukushima Daichi mega nuclear disaster, up to today? How much is still being released today, on a DAILY basis, from the wrecked spent fuel pools and reactors, plus the multiple melted out reactor coriums that are basically open to the air and in contact with groundwater?

TOTAL AMOUNT OF NUCLEAR FUEL AT FUKUSHIMA, COUNTED BY NUMBER OF NUCLEAR BOMBS
Via CodeShutdown October 8, 2014 "Here is an estimate of becquerels from Hiroshima followed by three estimates of Fukushima release and how many Hiroshima bombs its equivalent to. Also the total inventory....

AMOUNT OF RADIATION            EQUIVALENT TO NUMBER OF HIROSHIMA BOMBS
               89,000,000,000,000 Bq   equals radiation released by                    1 Hiroshima bomb (2)
        15,000,000,000,000,000 Bq  (lowest estimate of total released)        168 Hiroshima bombs (2)
     276,000,000,000,000,000 Bq  (medium estimate of total released)    3,100 Hiroshima bombs (1)
     860,000,000,000,000,000 Bq (pretty well documented total release) 9,660 Hiroshima bombs (3)
12,000,000,000,000,000,000 Bq                                                           134,000 Hiroshima bombs
(Last entry = total amount of radioactivity in the 11,138 spent fuel assemblies at Fukushima…)





The number of nuclear bombs set off globally above ground totals 2,400, before the world decided to ban open air nuclear tests, due to epidemic rise in cancers, genetic defects and diseases.  If a person can estimate the number of deaths from the 2,400 nuclear weapons tests, and then compare that to the radiation released by Fukushima from the table above, one can also do some simple math to estimate the number of deaths in the same amount of time, correct?

Number of Deaths From 2,400 Global Nuclear Atmospheric Bomb Tests 1945-1998; via @AGreenRoad

The only question left to ask is; how much of this total inventory of radiation at just ONE nuclear plant site got out into the world? How much radiation is still getting out as multiple reactors are broken up and are completely open to the air and water from them is pouring into the ocean with no restriction or filters? 

If one takes only the lowest and highest number of Hiroshima nuclear bombs and then turns that into numbers of deaths, from lowest to highest, it should give a pretty good estimate. 

What came out of Fukushima on the low side was equal to 168 Hiroshima bombs (2). This sounds bad, but on the high side, the Fukushima total radiation release was equal to 9,660 Hiroshima bombs (3), which is approximately 500% more than the total of all nuclear weapons set off in open air during the atomic age. Multiply the total deaths from 2,400 nuclear bombs by 5... 

40 - 60 MILLION Deaths Due To Global Open Air Nuclear Weapons Testing 1945 to 2004; via @AGreenRoad

40 Million X 5 = 200 Million Deaths
60 Million X 5 = 300 Million Deaths

TOTAL AMOUNT OF NUCLEAR FUEL THAT EXITED CONTAINMENT

What about the #1, 2 or 3 spent fuel pool, which each contained over 1,000 assemblies, the common spent fuel pool which had 6,000 assemblies and of course units 5 and 6 which had core assemblies and spent fuel as well. It's a pretty good bet that at least some of that has melted as well."

80% of Fukushima radiation released went over the ocean, and 20% was deposited on land inside Japan, out of that total. "Dr. Michio Kaku, a world renowned CUNY theoretical physicist pointed out on CNN March 18, 2011, Chernobyl involved one reactor and only 57.6 Tons of the reactor core that went into the atmosphere. In dramatic contrast, the Fukushima Daiichi disaster immediately involved six reactors and an IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency, a UN Agency) documented 2,800 Tons of highly radioactive reactor cores. Where did these cores go? 

Fukushima Coriums Melted Through The Concrete Base Mat Under Multiple Nuclear Reactors In 18 Hours, According To NRC Study

The only question left to answer is, how much of this 2,800 tons of radioactive material ended up going into the air and ocean? If Chernobyl released 57 tons, then wouldn't you agree that the 3 to 5 melted down and out reactors would release many times more radiation than Chernobyl? Now add the fact that multiple spent fuel pools caught on fire and melted out, and it starts looking really, really bad.

As one adds on the multiple orders of magnitude more tons of spent nuclear fuel in the spent fuel pools, it makes Fukushima much worse than anything humanity has seen before. Let's look at this disaster in a way that the nuclear industry does not like to bring attention to, shall we? This evidence is directly from the scientific studies that the pro nuclear scientists are putting out.....

Via Mark Anthony Taylor "Each one of units 1, 2, and 3 had approximately 500 fuel assemblies in them. (unit 1 was a little less than 500, 2, 3, and 4 all hold 548 if my memory is correct. Each fuel assembly is a matrix of 12 foot long fuel rods, I think 10 x10 rods and weighs approximately a ton, about half being the heavy fuel encased in zirconium shells. So, somewhere around 750 tons (500 assemblies x 3 reactors x 1 ton x 1/2 nuke fuel) of fuel was lost to the environment when the cores of 1, 2, and 3 exploded or melted out. Probably another 250 tons was lost when whatever burned and exploded out of the #4 equipment pool. That get's you to my 2,000,000+ pounds number. We also know that at least some of the fuel in the spent fuel pools has melted down - as underwater camera views have shown some burned assemblies in the #4 pool.

We know nothing for sure about the #1, 2 or 3 spent fuel pool, which each contained over 1,000 assemblies, the common spent fuel pool which had 6,000 assemblies and of course units 5 and 6 which had core assemblies and spent fuel as well. It's a pretty good bet that at least some of that has melted as well. Of course not all of the lost fuel has left the area, but all of it is open to the environment."

Is there any evidence that a massive amount of radiation was released by the Fukushima mega nuclear disaster from 3 or more melt outs plus multiple spent fuel pool fires and melt outs?

The answer is YES! Scientists who tracked and measured ocean radiation provide the evidence....

Event                                       Peak Radiation Reading In Bq/m³

2,400 Nuclear weapons testing peak -                 100 Bq/m³
Chernobyl caused a peak reading of -              1,000 Bq/m³
Fukushima caused a peak reading of  - 180,000,000 Bq/m³

DO THE SIMPLE MATH

Chernobyl was around ten times worse than 2,400 nuclear bombs going off.

Fukushima was around 180,000 times worse than 2,400 nuclear bombs going off.

It could be that Fukushima was not responsible for this total peak reading, but rather, multiple other nuclear reactors in Japan also (partially) melted down and caused this high peak reading, so it is really a reflection of the total coverup of the scale and scope of this mega nuclear disaster and the lack of true, meaningful information coming out of Japan. But this one comparison serves to accurately frame how really bad the 3/11 mega nuclear disaster really was. 

INTRODUCTION

According to a Japan Nuclear Agency, 14 reactors at 4 sites were affected by the earthquake. Fukushima Daiichi was NOT the only one that leaked radioactive substances. Daichi also released massive amounts of radiation, but that has been effectively covered up. Many nuclear plants were negatively affected, such as Daini, Onagawa, and Tokai. How much damage did they sustain, and how much radiation did they release? The pro nuclear 'experts' will not go here. They will not even discuss or acknowledge this simple, basic fact. 

On 3/11; 15 Nuclear Reactors In Japan Were Damaged, Not 3 or 4; via A Green Road 

A simple calculation will explain the huge story that is behind the nuclear industry radioactive glowing wall of secrecy. Just one nuclear or hydrogen bomb open air explosion releases about 2-10 pounds of highly dangerous, life and health destroying radioactive substances that circulate around the globe for tens of thousands of years. 

2400 Global Nuclear Atmospheric Bomb Tests 1945-1998; via A Green Road

Up to the point where people became outraged enough to ban open air testing of nuclear weapons, due to the catastrophic rise in genetic diseases, cancers and birth defects all around the world, over 2,400 nuclear bombs had been set off. How much in total pounds of radioactive elements was released into the world 'background radiation' pool due to all of this 'testing'?

TOTAL POUNDS OF RADIOACTIVE ELEMENTS RELEASED BY 2,400 NUCLEAR BOMBS

There are 2,000 pounds in a ton. Let's multiply 2,400 nuclear bombs X a very conservative 3 pounds each = 7,200 pounds. Each bomb releases 1,200 man made long lived radioactive and life destroying substances to circle the globe at high altitude for many years.

But using a figure of 10 pounds per bomb, the total rises to 24,000 pounds. Dividing 7,200 by 2,000 pounds = 1 ton tells us that between 3.6 to 11 tons of plutonium, uranium and other radioactive elements were released by all of these nuclear bombs. How does this compare to anything else?

Event                         Tons of Uranium Released         Tons of Plutonium Released

2,400 Nuclear Bombs                             3.6 - 11.                .001
Chernobyl                                                       50.                 .01       
Fukushima                                         400 - 2,000              1.

The 2,400 nuclear bombs were set off out over a span of several generations, so the radiation dose was diluted by both time and distance all around the world. The above figures are just a tiny fraction of what has been released, because there are many other nuclear accidents that have been totally covered up and denied. Is it any wonder that the sheer amount of radioactive elements released are raising the background radiation globally by a huge amount?

Background Radiation Has Increased 600 Percent - 1 mSv In 1950 To over 6 mSv In 2014; Where Is This Coming From?

The 3 - 10 tons of 1,200 or so man made radioactive elements from the 2,400 open air nuclear tests can still be measured all around the world in the soil, air, and oceans. These poisonous elements are constantly and forever being concentrated as they travel up the food chain to people, who are at the top of the food pyramid. These radioactive elements will continue to do this for millions of years, until all of these 1,900 plus man made radioactive elements totally decay away.

Radioactive strontium can still be easily measured in the bones and teeth of everyone alive today, with the proper testing equipment. Measuring the radiation in baby teeth is one way of measuring the body burden of strontium in the body for example.  

These 2,400 nuclear tests were enough to cause a HUGE rise in deaths, diseases and genetic problems, which has largely been covered up and denied by both the nuclear and the medical industry. The medical industry is constantly clamoring for more money to 'study' the problem of what causes cancer. Dr. Caldicott MD said that medical doctors demanded an end to the nuclear open air bomb testing due to the cause and effect relationship of cancers caused by the low dose radiation from these bomb tests, and that is the reason why just about all nations agreed to end open air testing.

Despite this, the medical profession today still has no clue what causes the increasing cancer rates, supposedly, but they are absolutely sure that all of the rise in cancers and all of the other diseases has NOTHING to do with the thousands of tons of artificial man made radioactive elements being released into the environment globally. Did you think that doctors were more intelligent than you? It might be time for your to change your mind. We still have not talked about the releases of radiation from nuclear power plants, nuclear accidents and releases from mines, reprocessing facilities and more.  

A full scale global nuclear war TODAY would mean that around 10,000 nuclear bombs would be set off globally, resulting in a life extinction event, with practically NO HUMAN life possible after that. A full scale nuclear war would release not only the radiation in those bombs; it would also cause the meltdown and release of all radiation in spent fuel pools and nuclear power plants globally, and there are over 400 of those, containing thousands of TONS of radioactive elements. Of course the pro nuclear and military 'experts' believe humans can live through a nuclear war and survive with no problem after that, since radiation is so safe and harmless.

ONE NUCLEAR PLANT MELT OUT IS THE SAME AS A FULL BLOWN GLOBAL NUCLEAR WAR

However, just ONE nuclear power plant accident involving a waterless, naked and exposed spent fuel pool can release this same amount of radiation and do the exact same thing as a global nuclear war, or worse. The melt down and melt out of just one nuclear plants and it's spent fuel pool would mean approximately 100 tons total of highly radioactive material would be released from the reactor core, and another 1,00 tons could be released from the spent fuel pool.

Essentially, releasing 1,400 TONS of highly radioactive nuclear material into the air means that all life could be extinguished on Earth. Remember that 2,400 nuclear bombs only released 3 to 10 tons of radioactive elements into the Earth since the 1940's. Now try to imagine what happens when multiple reactors and spent fuel pools all melt down and out at the same time, as was the case at Fukushima. 

Numerous nuclear accidents have happened many times since the beginning of the atomic age. Most of these accidents were either completely or mostly covered up and were not even reported, until OTHER COUNTRIES experienced the leaking radiation. For example, other countries forced the Soviets to disclose the Chernobyl accident, and then the Soviets under Gorbachev were forced to take action and evacuate people, many days later, after everyone had been exposed to the worst radiation that comes out initially.

MOST NUCLEAR ACCIDENTS HAVE BEEN COVERED UP

This same pattern of denial, refusal to help people, and a cover up of what happened is the 'rule' for every nuclear disaster, not the exception. Most pro nuclear apologists will only admit to 3 nuclear plant meltdowns, but the truth is that 10 times that many are documented, and this is just a drop in the bucket, because most of these nuclear accidents are treated as state military secrets, never to be disclosed, much like the Fukushima disaster is being treated now. 99% of what happened at Fukushima is being covered up and denied.

At Chernobyl, approximately 1 million people were sacrificed and forced into trying to keep the melted corium from reaching groundwater, and this effort was successful. If this had not been done, the entire continent of Europe would probably have been lost and be uninhabitable for tens of thousands of years.

CHERNOBYL EXPLODED TWICE AND THEN BURNED FOR DAYS

Chernobyl only had ONE reactor blow up with a steam explosion. Shortly after that a hydrogen gas fueled explosion happened, followed by an out of control nuclear fire composed of burning graphite, uranium and other radioactive elements. This fire burned for many days, as the Soviet government tried to put it out by dumping millions of pounds of sand, boron, and lead via helicopter on the burning corium. The corium that was not ejected out of the core with the 2 explosions heated up to over 4,500 degrees Fahrenheit. The fuel rods melted down and out of the reactor container, flowing down like lava into the basements under the reactor itself, where they can still be seen today.

Compared to Chernobyl, Fukushima had at least 3 and possibly up to 6 nuclear reactors that melted down, melted through and out and had buildings that literally blew up. Numerous buildings blew up and and numerous spent fuel pools melted down, caught on fire, and #3 experienced a nuclear explosion, (or as the experts call it, a 'prompt criticality'). AGRP will call this a nuclear explosion, because it ejected the contents of whatever it was that blew up out into the air, and spread fuel fragments for miles around.  The radioactive plume then went down over Tokyo and then around the world. Yes, #3 was not an atomic bomb, but the result of what came out of just #3 is actually much worse by many orders of magnitude than any nuclear bomb would have been, just because of the sheer volume of radioactive elements and plutonium that came out. 

As the Fukushima Daichi reactors and spent fuel pools melted down and/or burned, they released massive amounts of radioactive material that turned into invisible gases such as Iodine and Xenon, which then went around the world.

Yet, little or none of this is even admitted, much less being reported by the official pro nuclear 'experts' because their paycheck and position in the industry depends on them not disclosing this. Anyone not toeing the line and finding that Fukushima was more than 10% of Chernobyl, loses their source of funding, their job potential in the industry or they are fired.

The money choke hold in the nuclear industry controls the 'acceptable' results in scientific research and what is reported officially through both national and international nuclear 'agencies', such as the IAEA, WHO, UNSCEAR and NRC, just to name a few. It is easy to control the flow of information, because there are so few nuclear experts globally. For more about this corruption and deception, click on link....

Art And Science Of Deception; Global Corporations And The 1%

The money choke hold is why almost all nuclear 'experts' will keep saying that Fukushima released no more than 10% of Chernobyl. Because the nuclear industry toes the glowing radioactive line, this also explains why the mass media is so silent about the Fukushima mega nuclear disaster.  Through massive advertising budgets and no investigative reporters, the nuclear industry effectively controls the mass media reports about Fukushima as well.

There no investigative journalists and nuclear experts from other countries researching these damaged or destroyed and melted down Fukushima nuclear plants and their associated spent fuel pools. Reporters merely repeat what they are fed by TEPCO. No independent outside neutral nuclear agency exists to demand answers and accountability. The nuclear agencies that do exist are all more or less 'captured' or corrupted organizations, who are mostly biased or totally corrupted by the profit motivated nuclear industry through the money and power ties of the global nuclear industry.

Why is there still no definite answer about the current state of these 14 Japanese reactors and 14 or more spent fuel pools at all of these nuclear power plants, approximately 3 years (2014) after the mega nuclear disaster happened?

Where are the coriums that melted out of the buildings and containments, and what are they doing today? The nuclear industry does not want to know where they are, so as of today, no one knows where the coriums are. No one cares to know, despite being able to do so within a month or less, because that would pull back the the curtains on what really happened.

AT CHERNOBYL, A WHOLE TEAM OF NUCLEAR SCIENTISTS WAS SENT IN TO FIND THE CORIUM

After Chernobyl, a whole team of nuclear scientists were assigned the task of finding out what happened to the corium by the then Soviet government. These scientists found the Chernobyl melted out corium fairly quickly, with many of them sacrificing their lives in the process due to the extremely high doses of radiation that they received.

IN JAPAN NO ONE EVEN CARES WHERE THE MULTIPLE MELTED OUT CORIUMS ARE, AND NO ONE IS ASSIGNED TO 'FIND' THEM

In Japan on the other hand, no one has been assigned the job, no one is interested, and there is no goal of ever even finding out where they are. It is very easy to conclude that there is a huge coverup around the Fukushima mega nuclear accident, because if it was known what happened here, it would cause all nuclear power plants to be shut down immediately. The evidence of  the nuclear industry attempts at covering up the Fukushima mega nuclear disaster is provided in great detail via the following link.

Chernobyl was around ten times worse than 2,400 nuclear bombs going off.

Fukushima was around 180,000 times worse than 2,400 nuclear bombs going off.

The scientists will not go to the above conclusion, and the best they can do is to admit that Fukushima released 10 to 100 times more radiation than Chernobyl, into the ocean, as per Ken Buessler below.

In October, a U.S. study – co-authored by oceanographer Ken Buesseler, a senior scientist at the non-profit Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Woods Hole, Mass., – reported Fukushima Daichi alone caused history’s biggest-ever release of radiation into the ocean – 10 to 100 times more than the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear catastrophe.”

Of course, the radiation releases from the melted out coriums continue through leaks from the basements of Fukushima. The radiation releases from the Fukushima site is only getting worse over time, and the radiation amounts per liter of water are only going up, from 3/11 to present day. There is no total amount of radiation released yet, because the Fukushima mega nuclear disaster is not over yet and the out of control release of radiation is still happening from the Fukushima plant, with unknown amounts ending up in the ocean.

39 BILLION BQ PER CUBIC METER MEASURED AT SHORELINE OF PACIFIC OCEAN, FUKUSHIMA RADIATION 

Newly released data shows 4,000% more radioactive material in Fukushima groundwater than Tepco claimed — 39 billion Bq/m³ in sample from shoreline… after going through filtration process — Results not made public until almost a year later (VIDEO)

Note the strontium-90 concentration in the July 5 sample is 74% of the total amount of beta radiation. Based on this ratio (25 : 34), the post-filtration strontium-90 concentration for the July 9 sample would be nearly 30,000,000 Bq/liter. Now add the tritium and cesium to that and it is illegal high level waste that is going into the ocean, at a rate of close to 40 million Bq per LITER. And the government claims that the beaches are safe and the ocean is safe to swim in.. Would you swim in this water? 

The amount being released into the Pacific ocean is being totally covered up, largely due to pressure from the nuclear industry, and the complicity of the mass media and the Japanese government, which passed a secrecy law, making it illegal to talk about nuclear disasters.

BUILDING #3 EXPLOSION THREW HOT RADIOACTIVE FUEL IN ALL DIRECTIONS FOR 3 KILOMETERS, HOT PARTICLES TRAVELED ALL THE WAY TO TOKYO

The nuclear explosion at Unit #3 spent fuel pool blew uranium and plutonium pellets as well as particles, dust and melted fuel in a radius of up to 3 kilometers. Since the plant sits right next to the ocean, much of this highly radioactive fuel went into the ocean. That MOX fuel is sitting on the bottom of the Pacific ocean, radiating all of the ocean water that is going by, plus all of the sea life. A few scientists have admitted that the radiation in fish should be going down in the fish near Fukushima, but for some strange reason, the amount is not going down as expected, but they cannot figure out why..

There is also the matter of what happened to the nuclear fuel that got blown out of Fukushima Reactor and/or one or more spent fuel pools at building #3. Remember that each building has a reactor, a spent fuel pool, and an equipment pool; fuel can and was stored in all of these and could lead to a melt down and out in each of them, and/or an explosion in ALL buildings. 

The radiation from these highly radioactive rod pieces is entering the ocean even to this day, polluting and contaminating the ocean currents going by Fukushima, for potentially millions of years. 

The authorities cemented over the underwater part of the man made bay right next to the plant, so this cut down on the amount of radiation released from these highly radioactive pieces of fuel rod toxicity. Until the pieces of rods blown out into the ocean beyond the bay are all found, gathered up and properly stored away from all living things, they will probably continue to cause problems with ocean radiation for tens of thousands of years, if not millions of years into the future.

RIVER SEDIMENT IN JAPAN IS RADIATION CONTAMINATED, ALL OF THIS FLOWS INTO OCEAN

The rivers all up and down Japan are also adding unknown radioactive amounts to the ocean, as radiation washes down the rivers from the mountains and farms from all over Japan. The Japanese are also burning radioactive debris all over Japan, and this airborne radiation source also ends up in the ocean. Radioactive ashes are dumped into Tokyo Bay, and reports have also come in about radioactive soil and debris being dumped into the rivers. More information is at link below...

Japan Suffered 3 Mega Disasters, Now Suffering From 4th Mega Nuclear Disaster, USA Will Be Next; via @AGreenRoad

Recently, TEPCO got permission to dump radioactive water into the Pacific, instead of storing it on site. 

Bottom line, groundwater, rivers, bits of spent fuel rods and airborne radiation that ends up in the ocean continues to release massive amounts of radiation into the Pacific on a constant, never ending basis.

The Pacific ocean was already dying from global warming, acidification, and marine pollution such as plastic and chemicals. The Fukushima mega nuclear disaster just puts another stress on the ocean, which will cause the death spiral to accelerate even faster and further.

TOTAL AIR RELEASE

According to the ICRP, the Fukushima 'accident' released 73.47 BILLION lethal doses (by inhalation) AND 15.53 BILLION lethal doses by ingestion, with over 88.00 BILLION total lethal doses of alpha radiation released. Source: http://www.icrp.org/

The Fukushima disaster has proved that nuclear industry should be controlled only by the state and not by private companies. The outcome of this tragedy has turned even worse than it was in Chernobyl. Graphite which was part of the reactor`s core, burnt out and vanished in the atmosphere. But at Fukushima the reactor`s core melted.” The Voice Of Russia

"Regarding the radioactive noble gas Xenon‐133, the results indicate an emission of 16700 Peta‐Becquerel (1 Becquerel is one radioactive decay per second, 1 Peta‐Becquerel equals 1015 Bq). This is the largest civilian noble gas release in history, exceeding the Chernobyl noble gas release by a factor of 2.5|"

Not for Distribution, Internal Use Only”: US Energy Dept. estimated Fukushima release up to 10,000 times larger than nuclear regulators predicted — ‘Supercore’ scenario an underestimate?
Regarding Cs-137 release estimates, “NRC and DOE differ by three orders of magnitude” [i.e. DOE estimate is 1,000 to 9,999 times more than NRC]

According to one expert who actually included the #3 reactor and spent fuel pool blowing up:” under the Conservative Estimate, and using .89% Plutonium per Table 1, this would be 640 pounds of Plutonium aerosolized.”

According to Dr. Helen Caldicott MD, it only takes about 1 - 200 pounds of plutonium dust distributed globally to kill everyone on the planet, if distributed equally into everyone's lungs. This very dangerous Fukushima radioactive plutonium release has been totally covered up, with very good reason. Of course, this radioactive air release is still going on, despite claims of ‘cold shutdown’. If the #3 reactor was used as a breeder reactor as some people claim, then up to a TON (2,000 pounds) of plutonium may have been blown sky high.

TEPCO LIES AND SAYS FUKUSHIMA IS IN COLD SHUTDOWN, HAS NO IDEA WHERE MELTED OUT CORIUMS ARE

TEPCO does not know where the melted through 65 to 100 ton corium blobs are from ANY of the other Fushima Daichi reactors 1-5. ALL spent fuel pools and reactors at Fukushima are OPEN TO THE AIR since 3/11. Some of these spent fuel pools lost either part of their water or all of it due to being boiled off, and then either caught on fire, plus melted down either partially or completely. A huge amount of radiation went into the air from the spent fuel pools. Radiation is still coming out of multiple melted down or out coriums, ongoing criticalities, etc. This mega nuclear disaster is not over yet; it is just starting.

IT ONLY TAKES 30 TONS OF RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL TO EXTINGUISH ALL LIFE ON THE PLANET, HOW MUCH DID FUKUSHIMA RELEASE OUT OF A TOTAL OF 2,000 TONS?

Remember that it only takes 30 tons of nuclear material released into the air globally to extinguish all life on the planet, via a global nuclear war. Fukushima is estimated to have released on the order of 2,000 tons. What effect will this have? Is this what is causing the mass die off of multiple species in the Pacific? 

A recently disclosed Tepco documentation indicates total emissions estimates of both plutonium 239 and neptunium 239 for the first 100 hours of the catastrophe. This leaked Tepco document [19] suggests a release of 1.2 trillion bq of PLUTONIUM - p-238,p-239,p-240 and p-241 collectively and 76 trillion bq of NEPTUNIUM - Np-239 within the first 100 hours of the catastrophe” 

JAPAN BURNING HIGH LEVEL NUCLEAR WASTE, SPREADING RADIATION ACROSS WHOLE COUNTRY

But the disaster is still beginning. The Japanese are burning nuclear waste materials from Fukushima and spreading that radiation all over Japan via airborne emissions.

Because Japan has not stopped air releases of radioactive elements, and is in fact accelerating the release of radioactive elements through various means such as dumping of tank water, burning of radioactive wastes, not stopping radioactive releases from Fukushima, AGRP predicts an increasingly worse outcome in the coming years as far as the health of the residents of Japan, plus their environment.

TOTAL RADIATION STORED IN TANKS ON SITE 

Question about total radiation … at Fukushima 

After the tsunami and reactor meltdowns at Fukushima, they ran out of fresh cooling water for the reactors and spent fuel pools, so they brought in a huge amount of water via a barge, that was then used up, and filled with radioactive waste water coming out of the reactors. (Where did that and other barges filled with nuclear waste go, and what happened to that nuclear waste material?)

The Japanese injected 10-15m³ per hour of fresh or sea water at 8 points in 4 reactors plus 4 spent fuel pools. It is now down the road several years. The total amount of water injected calculates out roughly to 300 day`s x 24 hours x 30000- 50000 liters per day. By these calculations, what is the total amount of water used? 

"The tanks were installed to contain an increasing amount of water with …radioactive substances. About 1,000 tanks contain an estimated 120,000 tons of contaminated water.“ http://www.yomiuri.co.jp/dy/national/T120227004796.htm

In ONE YEAR, TEPCO accumulated 1,000 tanks with 120,000 tons of water. If this keeps on going like this for thirty years, that will mean 30,000 tanks... Are they all earthquake proof? How long will they last? How much radiation is in those? What happens if they leak? Are they guarded? What happens if a terrorist blows up some of them, or a plane crashes into them? Again, no one is asking these questions, and no one seems to care, least of all the supposed nuclear regulators. 


5 BILLION BQ PER 10 LITERS OF STORAGE TANK LIQUID

What is their volume, and what kind of radiation does this water contain? There is one estimate of beta radiation in at least one tank… Jiji: 5 billion becquerels of beta radiation in 10 liters of decontaminated water — Includes strontium and cesium January 10, 2012 

2 SIEVERTS/HR RADIATION EMITTED FROM 1 LITER OF LEAKED WATER FROM TANKS

Nikkei: Two sieverts/hr of beta radiation emitted from a single liter of leaked water 

So how much radiation does that calculate out to onsite in these storage tanks, given the above facts?

A worker at Fukushima disclosed that the tanks were built with no warranty and were designed to last only one year. At the one year point, the site contained 1,000 tanks. At the two years point, how many additional 'temporary' tanks were added? Two years in, reports come in almost daily about leaking tanks. This problem will get much worse. Three years in, and TEPCO is still reporting only 1,000 tanks. What happened to all of the water that was supposed to be stored on site in the other 2,000 tanks, assuming about 1,000 tanks are needed each year to store the highly radioactive water coming out of the broken reactors?

Is TEPCO dumping everything in the ocean these days and emptying the tanks, as the IAEA suggested? Certainly that is cheaper than building tanks and storing this highly radioactive water, but dumping it has severe negative consequences both for Japan and the rest of the world. 

How long can they continue to do this? The cooling water being poured on the reactors is going DIRECTLY into the ocean, because the reactor cores are all leaking and the cooling water is coming in direct contact with melted corium, which it is not supposed to be doing in a normal reactor. This water then goes into the basements, which are connected to the groundwater, and that goes directly into the ocean.

STORAGE TANKS SUFFERING AN EPIDEMIC OF LEAKS

Everything running through the reactors and/or spent fuel pools is highly radioactive. Plus, all of the Rube Goldberg plastic pipes are leaking continuously, and the tanks are leaking as well. 

Tepco: New leak releasing enough beta rays to cause radiation sickness — Leakage in at least 30 locations found recently.... 

10L of water leakage “500,000Bq/cm3, Fukushima Diary, Jan. 10, 2012:

* Water leaking from the tank to storage abandoned salty water after purifying system of highly contaminated water 
* It was 10 Liters leak 
* It’s supposed to contained a portion of radionuclides such as Cesium or Strontium, which is 500,000 Bq/cm3 
Conversion: 500,000 Bq/cm3 = 500,000 Bq/ml = 500,000,000 Bq/liter = 5,000,000,000 Bq in 10 Liters of water
FIVE BILLION Bq/10 liters 

They say this will continue for 30-40 years. AGRP is predicting that Japan will run out of room and/or money within several years and even if they are not dumping everything into the ocean yet, they will be soon. Realistically, how long can they continue this process before they are overwhelmed with highly radioactive water? 

DAINI CONTAINS 100,000 TONS OF HIGHLY RADIOACTIVE WATER, NO ONE PAYING ANY ATTENTION TO THAT PLANT

Over 100,000 tons of highly radioactive water is in the basements of DAINI, which is down the road from DAICHI about ten miles. Bet you never heard about that either. . 

As of 6/2013 the tanks are no longer accumulating water. New tanks are not being built, where the original projections were that they would have to build 1,000 tanks per year to handle the 'leaking' water from the reactors.

The total amount of water on site in tanks is decreasing, not accumulating. Despite what TEPCO claims, they are dumping everything into the ocean or evaporating it via the high temperature incinerator building, and the clampdown plus secrecy act is preventing any news about this from escaping.



MULTIPLE BROKEN OPEN REACTORS ARE LEAKING DIRECTLY INTO PACIFIC OCEAN, AND NO ONE CARES?

The TEPCO page above shows a couple of things. First, the reactors are all leaking directly from very 'hot' core material inside the reactors directly into several reactor buildings basements, marked in red (liquid). These reactor buildings are connected via underground connecting pipes, tubes and channels to other buildings on the site, and to the ocean. Since all building foundations are damaged and cracked, this highly radioactive liquid leaks out of these channels, basements, tubes and cracks into the groundwater, which then goes to the ocean. Of course, TEPCO does not show that part, as that would be considered a 'harmful rumor'.

This highly radioactive liquid from the building basements is then pumped through a number of other buildings, and an evaporation building, and then it is put back into the reactor within multiple buildings. What happens to all of the water that leaks out of these buildings, with cracked up basements? That is not shown in the very neat picture above.

TEPCO CHART SHOWS TOTAL AMOUNT OF WATER STORED ON SITE IS DROPPING, NOT INCREASING. WHERE IS ALL OF THAT MISSING WATER GOING? 

At the above website address, the figures also show that the TOTAL amount of water on site being stored has been dropping over the last three months, maybe much longer. There are no new tanks being build anymore, three years into this mega disaster. Why not?

Nothing has changed as far as the leaks, the amount of water they are pouring over the broken reactors and the amount that is leaking out of them. The underground coriums in the ground are also are still there, contaminating all the groundwater they are in contact with.

The leaks from the basements, the leaks from the reactors, the leaks from the tanks, all continue on without any attempt to stop them. The underground coriums continue to interact with the groundwater, and that highly radioactive water continues to flow into the ocean, non stop. There is no attempt to even find out where they are. As of 2014, things are getting much worse and are going backward, as far as what is going into the Pacific ocean.

IAEA TOLD TEPCO TO DUMP ALL HIGH LEVEL RADIOACTIVE WASTE WATER INTO OCEAN. IS THAT WHAT TEPCO IS DOING?

Bottom line, this mega nuclear disaster is getting worse and worse with time. It is becoming harder and harder to deal with because the radiation is getting worse with time, building up in the soil, the basements, the air, the tanks and more. It is becoming much more hazardous to work at this site, due to the buildup of all of these radioactive elements.

Even if more tanks are built on site, the gamma 'haze' radiation being emitted from these tanks is deadly to anyone walking around them. Maybe that is why they stopped 'inspecting' them long ago. But not inspecting leaking tanks means that even more radiation is released into the ground and into the ocean.If more tanks are built, more gamma 'haze' builds up over the whole site, making it more hazardous to work at. Eventually it will be too dangerous to work there and it will have to be abandoned, if nothing is done to stop the leaks from the reactors and the underground coriums are not found and isolated.

It really does not matter how much radiation is in those tanks. AGRP predicts that if someone does not step in and stop the leaks from all reactors and find the coriums and stop their interaction with groundwater soon, the site may become impossible to work at via humans. The Fukushima site may very well go totally out of control eventually, resulting in an Armageddon type event.

TOTAL RADIATION RELEASED INTO GROUND WATER


UNKNOWN - There are no estimates, no one is studying it, no one is monitoring it. So far, no one seems to care. 

There are two main concerns. First, the 3 or more melted 100 ton blobs of highly radioactive corium went out of the 1-3 reactor buildings and they are now underground, in contact with groundwater.

The Fukushima site is turning out to be much like Hanford with all of its cover-ups and secret spills, leaks, and underground aquifer contamination.

………………………………………………… 

NO ONE is counting the total of ALL OF THE ABOVE. No one is counting or tracking ongoing radiation releases. TEPCO is NOT counting the amount of radiation that is in the large radioactive water storage tanks on site. 

NO ONE is counting radioactive water that went underground. NO ONE is counting the radiation released from and still being released into the air, groundwater and ocean from the two nuclear explosions at #3 reactor and spent fuel pool.. Both of these sources of radiation release have way more tonnage of highly dangerous Plutonium and Uranium MOX fuel. 

MOX fuel is about 1 million times more dangerous than plain old Chernobyl style fuel, and this MOX fuel went up into the air and down into the ground, where the coriums are leaking their radiation into the ocean, directly.. This FACT is NOT in any calculations or guesses, as far as how much radiation is going into the ocean, but the amounts are massive and will go on forever. Fukushima is a planet killing mega nuclear disaster, especially if it not handled correctly. Currently, the disaster is still being covered up and denied, but this cannot go on much longer, and Japan plus the rest of the world, is running out of time.

Under Reporting Of Fukushima Radiation

Cesium has been found at 1,000 times higher concentrations in places like Tokyo than the air concentration at the peak of nuclear weapons testing fallout.. This is serious fallout, but is being ignored by Japanese authorities, who are looking only at exterior dose rates, and nothing else. For more information about radiation levels in Tokyo Japan, click on the following link. 

Tokyo; Is It Safe To Visit or Live In? 

There is a very serious radioactive contamination in Tokyo. There was a place in Tokyo that has higher levels of radiation than in the Chernobyl exclusion zone, but Japan is covering this up completely. 

AGRP has not seen any counts yet, that total ALL radioactive emissions from FUKU, based on realistic scenarios. NO actual data from monitoring equipment has been released yet. 

The dangers from just ONE spent fuel pool at Fukushima Daichi that is in very serious trouble, boggles the mind. If Spent Fuel Pool #4 falls over, it will cause a cascade effect that may very well result in the extinction of all life on the planet. Again, most mass media news outlets are not covering this danger and Japan's inaction around it. Yes, TEPCO is working on emptying this spent fuel pool, but they are not addressing the coriums underground, nor the leaking reactors that pour highly radioactive water directly into the ocean. 

Fukushima Reactor 4; Global Life Extinction Event If It Collapses; via A Green Road

This mega nuclear disaster site is threatening the whole world's population and all life on the planet, but (so far) no other world government seems to be interested in learning what the truth is, or even in helping to control and clean up the situation there. Much could be done, but so far, very little is being done to actually tackle the roots of the problem. 

There are NO battery or solar powered community controlled radiation monitors downwind of any nuclear reactors. There are no community monitored radiation monitors on the ‘vent’ stacks at any of the 400 nuclear power plants around the world, even today. All nuclear reactors and nuclear power plants are nuclear bombs, barely controlled and slowed down by 'experts'.

Any nuclear plant can quickly turn into a disaster that makes a whole country uninhabitable. A nuclear disaster can and does cause the collapse of an entire countries economy.

When nuclear accidents happen, what typically happens is that these radiation monitors 'fail' or turn off. Thus, no one can really tell how much radiation was released, and the company can claim it was 'only a small amount', because no one can prove otherwise.

Lists of nuclear disasters and radioactive incidents; via A Green Road

How much radiation has been released from Fukushima into:

Ocean 

Basements 

On site water storage tanks 

Air over ocean, all nuclear materials, not just 2 out of 100 

Japanese Groundwater under plant 

Sprayed radioactive water on forests 

Soil all over Japan 

Radioactive water from Fukushima, put in tanker ships, and then taken or dumped where???? 

GAS emissions 

Dust emissions 

Nuclear explosion(s) emissions and dust from MOX fuel 

Hydrogen explosions emissions 

Emissions coming from spent fuel pools 

Radioactive releases from criticalities in spent fuel pools and/or hydrogen and/or nuclear explosions 

Emissions going up vent stacks at all reactors 1-5 after 3/11? 

Radioactive materials and gases thrown out of dozens of high level radioactive waste incinerators all across Japan

Radioactive ashes dumped into Tokyo Bay, rivers, etc.

Radioactive river and lake water flowing into ocean

Ongoing emissions into air, water, see above

NO ONE has yet even attempted to TOTAL ALL OF THE ABOVE, much less what is STILL COMING OUT OF FUKUSHIMA TODAY… 

Reporting anything less is NOT SCIENTIFIC. Those who have declared with great certainty that Fukushima is only 10% of Chernobyl are making huge fools of themselves and their reputations, because there is no accurate and completely scientific information about the total amount of radiation that has come out of Fukushima from 3/11 to present day. The scientists that use 'computer models' to downplay this mega disaster are guilty of conspiracy and genocide. 

This mega disaster with 3 or more melted out coriums is just starting, and it will get worse from here. Follow the drama and see how it will play out, despite the huge global coverup in progress. Mother Nature has a way of teaching lessons. It may take awhile, but AGRP believes that the truth will eventually come out via the consequences that will affect human, animal and plant populations not just in Japan, but all around the world. AGRP just hopes that the truth comes out and this sad situation is dealt with in time to save humanity.

Why isn't TEPCO even trying to find the 'missing' coriums?  Why is there no attempt to stop the leaks from the multiple broken reactors? Why is TEPCO being allowed to dump high level waste water into the ocean?
