Nuclear Engineer: New
footage shows Reactor 1 has
“ruptured” containment
structure, most likely from
the explosion
Water to cool “what’s left of core” flowing into environment (VIDEO)
15 November, 2013
The Japan Times, Nov. 14, 2013: One leak came from a rupture in a sand-cushioned drain pipe installed at the bottom of the containment vessel.
Chris Harris, former licensed Senior Reactor Operator and engineer, Nutrimedical Report, Nov. 14, 2013 (at 29:00 in): They did indeed find water pouring out of several locations in Reactor 1′s containment structure and basically this shows that it was ruptured, most likely during the explosion that happened [...] As we discussed before, all the water that gets pumped in to cool what’s left of the core [...] it goes in and it’s falling back out again and goes right into the secondary side, which is basicallly the reactor building [...] Because the water level’s not going up into that part of the building, it’s flowing out into the environment. That’s not really good news.

Fukushima: Remove TEPCO Before Removing Fuel at SFP#4 Arnie Gundersen
Fairewinds
has fielded a number of questions regarding the removal of the fuel
rods from the spent fuel pool in Unit 4 at Fukushima Daiichi. Today's
video shows Arnie debunking TEPCO's animated film point by point, and
highlights the issues TEPCO will have removing the fuel rods. TEPCO
needs to be removed as the organization overseeing the cleanup of the
site prior to the removal of the fuel rods.

[Video] Reactor 1 confirmed leaking out the coolant water / 2.0 Sv/h
15
November, 2013
Fukushima
Diary has been suggesting the possible direct leakage of contaminated
water from reactor1 to underground.
(cf,
[Column] Tepco may be hiding the possible direct leakage of coolant
water – Press should demand disclosure [URL])
From
11/13 to 11/14/2013, Tepco investigated the basement floor of
reactor1 building to identify 3 locations of the leakage from PCV.
They
used the remote controlling boat for this investigation.
The
leakages are the from a vent pipe and also a crippled sand cushion
drain pipe around the suppression chamber. A part called sand cushion
ring header was also observed leaking.
The
ambient dose was 0.9 ~ 2.0 Sv/h. The leakage speed wasn’t tested.

Cesium-134 : 1,500,000 Bq/m3
Cesium-137 : 2,700,000 Bq/m3
Tepco assumed the leakage point was one of the bolts, the volume of leaked water was 11 L. They didn’t find the leakage one day before.

FUKUSHIMA-666 (The Fukushima Generation)
The
Mayor of Futaba (where Fukushima Daiichi I is located) speaks to
fucking Noda, (brainless piece of shit intent in destroying the
Japanese people and the rest of the "down winders").
The
Japanese Government, as we have discussed before, have repeatedly
hidden the information given by the SPEEDI data about where
radioactive fallout would go in case of an "accident". We
now see that the "accident' could have been prevented, but
instead, it was covered up. Prime Minister Noda is then asked to
resign (AGAIN). I HOPE the people of Japan have heard everything I
have heard and get him out of office AGAIN. Something is seriously
wrong with that man (NODA, et al), the Japanese Government, and their
"reconstruction policy" of Fukushima.
They are all
ostriches.
Either they really and truly do NOT care about anyone, or
they are bought off and paid for by the nuclear industry. I simply do
not see any middle ground on this. I cannot imagine how citizens of
Japan tolerate this bull shit. I am glad to see so many waking up to
the idea of either moving out of Japan, or at least protesting. I'm
proud of those who speak their mind.
Alexey V. Yablokov, outspoken
author of Chernobyl: Consequences of the Catastrophe for People and
the Environment, communicated his thoughts on the data via several
emails noting, "The Japanese government is not trustworthy when
it comes to releasing information about Fukushima, which is Japan's
Chernobyl. The assertion that prefecture specific data would not be
useful is ridiculous ... A real national comparative study needs to
be conducted."
Health
concerns abound in Fukushima about the safety of living in the area.
In April 2011, the Japanese government raised the radiation limits
for exposure at schools near the plant to 20 millisieverts. A senior
nuclear adviser to the government at the time abruptly resigned in
protest saying the level was 20 times too high, especially for
children who he said are more vulnerable to radiation than adults.
The
government of Fukushima announced in late August the results of an
ongoing study on the impact of radiation on children under 18 who
were living in Fukushima at the time of the accident. Of the roughly
360,000 children, there were 44 suspected cases of thyroid cancer.
Radioactive substances released during an accident and afterwards can
accumulate in children's thyroid glands, which increases the risk of
developing cancer. In the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster, thyroid
cancers cases started to show up after four to five years after the
accident.
The
Japanese government has a past history of censoring negative
information about health damage caused by corporate malfeasance, as
in the mercury poisoning cases during the '50s and '60s, the
HIV-tainted blood cases in the '80s, and the Dioxin contamination
problem in the '90s. It has often avoided detailed epidemiological
studies that might show a wider range of harm. In the Minamata
mercury poisoning case, the central government even worked with the
polluting corporations to minimize evidence showing the cause and
range of the illness, in consideration of the negative economic
impact such revelations would have. One reason Japan government
agencies have a long history of favoring corporate entities like
TEPCO over the welfare of citizens is the common practice of
bureaucrats retiring to prime posts in the industries they once
regulated.
