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?

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?

of Deaths From 2,400 Global Nuclear Atmospheric Bomb Tests 1945-1998;

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...

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.....

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....

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.

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.

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?

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.

Box Opened; 1,946 Lethal Radioactive Man Made Elements Created By

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

burning radioactive debris all over Japan, and this airborne

dumped into Tokyo Bay, and reports have also come in about
radioactive soil and debris being dumped into the rivers. More

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
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.

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”

BURNING HIGH LEVEL NUCLEAR WASTE, SPREADING RADIATION ACROSS WHOLE

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

*
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.

This
mega nuclear disaster site is threatening the whole world's

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'.

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?
