Clusterfukushima

Submitted by George Washington on 08/12/2011 19:42 -0400

There have been a cluster of earthquakes near Fukushima. Just yesterday, there was another 6.0 earthquake.

There have been a cluster of meltdowns at Fukushima. For example, Asahi reports today:

A second meltdown likely occurred in the No. 3 reactor at the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant, a scenario that could hinder the current strategy to end the crisis, a scientist said.

In that meltdown, 10 days after the March 11 Great East Japan Earthquake, the fuel may have leaked to the surrounding containment vessel, according to a report by Fumiya Tanabe, a former senior researcher at what was then the government-affiliated Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute.

***

Under Tokyo Electric Power Co.'s road map to deal with its crippled nuclear plant, reducing temperatures at the bottom of the core pressure vessel is one objective for bringing the accident under control. But if the fuel burned through the pressure vessel surrounding the No. 3 reactor and dropped into the containment vessel, that plan would be affected.

***

Around 11 a.m. on March 14, the reactor building was hit by a large hydrogen explosion that was likely caused by a core meltdown, which led to fuel falling to the bottom of the pressure vessel.

***

Tanabe also estimates that the second meltdown led to the release of large amounts of radioactive materials, and that much of the fuel fell through the pressure vessel to the surrounding containment vessel.

***

Kunihisa Soda, a former commissioner at the Nuclear Safety Commission of Japan who is a specialist on severe accidents at nuclear plants, said the possibility of a second meltdown could not be ruled out.

Nuclear expert Arnie Gundersen notes that there are currently lethal radiation levels at Fukushima, that even higher measurements are to still come, and that the nuclear core has leaked out and is on floor like a pancake working its way down.

NHK notes that scientists have found radiation levels in Japan higher than any found in the contaminated zone in Chernobyl called Red Forest:

And nuclear regulators only thought about worst case scenarios involving a single nuclear plant. They totally ignored the fact that power loss to complexes of nuclear reactors - like the cluster of 6 reactors at Fukushima - could lead to multiple simultaneous meltdowns.

And then there's a cluster of cover ups.

As the New York Times reports:

“From the 12th to the 15th we were in a location with one of the highest levels of radiation,” said Tamotsu Baba, the mayor of Namie, which is about five miles from the nuclear plant. He and thousands from Namie now live in temporary housing in another town, Nihonmatsu. “We are extremely worried about internal exposure to radiation.”

The withholding of information, he said, was akin to “murder.”

In interviews and public statements, some current and former government officials have admitted that Japanese authorities engaged in a pattern of withholding damaging information and denying facts of the nuclear disaster — in order, some of them said, to limit the size of costly and disruptive evacuations in land-scarce Japan and to avoid public questioning of the politically powerful nuclear industry. As the nuclear plant continues to release radiation, some of which has slipped into the nation’s food supply, public anger is growing at what many here see as an official campaign to play down the scope of the accident and the potential health risks.

Seiki Soramoto, a lawmaker and former nuclear engineer to whom Prime Minister Naoto Kan turned for advice during the crisis, blamed the government for withholding forecasts from the computer system, known as the System for Prediction of Environmental Emergency Dose Information, or Speedi.

“In the end, it was the prime minister’s office that hid the Speedi data,” he said. “Because they didn’t have the knowledge to know what the data meant, and thus they did not know what to say to the public, they thought only of their own safety, and decided it was easier just not to announce it.”

***

Meltdowns at three of Fukushima Daiichi’s six reactors went officially unacknowledged for months. In one of the most damning admissions, nuclear regulators said in early June that inspectors had found tellurium 132, which experts call telltale evidence of reactor meltdowns, a day after the tsunami — but did not tell the public for nearly three months. For months after the disaster, the government flip-flopped on the level of radiation permissible on school grounds, causing continuing confusion and anguish about the safety of schoolchildren here in Fukushima.

***

The timing of many admissions ... suggested to critics that Japan’s nuclear establishment was coming clean only because it could no longer hide the scope of the accident.

The mayor of Namie also said the government's justifications for withholding information are nonsensical.

And in related news:

Public anger “exploding” as Japanese discover more about government downplaying spread of Fukushima radiation, health dangers

It's a clusterfukushima.

Thanks George for staying on this. You really perform a service to the world in what you do.

What a sad film for such a beautiful country!

Very much agreed Escapeclaws. I found myself weeping.

I have posted to Energy News, despite the fact that they are running the same video, because I wanted to add economic contexts provided by Zero Hedge.

On a comforting and positive note:

Excellent work again GW. Accurate information. That video is also awesome, I've seen it yesterday. (was up on EX-SKF as well http://ex-skf.blogspot.com/)

... also... still under the radar: Guys (and girls) look at this:

Areva's home country; France is utterly contaminated. Everywhere there's (illegal and legal) dumps, highly radioactive waste mixed with concrete, dumps near or in water resevoirs, old radium mines, or just the side of the road. For once Areva is (forced to) responding, they bring out a slick well bespoken man, who utterly fails in "explaining it all away". The courts have covered up for the nuclear industry, and changed limits accordingly. (sounds familiiar?) I've asked my french mates to translate it, even so, no matter how good your french language skills, it's well worth the watch.
WHAT A TERRIBLE MESS!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVEwQxk6_mw

If you have plans buying property there, better bring a geiger counter, and study the history of the region (for old dumps and factories) carefully!

Merci de ce film--c'était formidable! Malheureusement c'est aussi en français sans soutitres. Dommage! On a besoin d'un rapportage semblable an Amérique.

This and the film on Fukashima took a big part of my day, but I'm now convinced that nuclear energy is too dangerous along the full spectrum commencing with mining, disposing of tailings (the subject of this film), etc, etc. I will no longer invest in uranium miners. It's a dirty business. The basic problem is corruption. There is big money in this and as night follows day, corruption and cover-ups.

I had to laugh when I saw how COGEMA had placed their radiation detectors at the points where the readings were at their absolute lowest (by a factor of three from nearby readings) in a sort of perversion of Maupertius. COGEMA is the agency that oversees nuclear mining to protect the public and it is staffed and operated by Areva. It reminded me of the ratings agencies evaluating securities, the evaluations being paid for by the issuers. Tout ça change, tout c'est la même chose.

Dmitri Orlov made a good point about what he fears most about an economic collapse. He fears that there will be vast irradiated areas inhabited by people unaware of the danger. I never would have imagined that France, one of the beacons of enlightened rule in the world, would engage in such criminal negligence. In the city of Limoges, for example, they refuse point blank to deal with the fact that their tap water is radioactive and the whole thing is rigged so that protesting or presenting them with facts makes no difference. Who would imagine such a thing? This is because all the nuclear waste dumps are placed on hillsides above the water resevoirs. If this can happen in France, a forteriori, it's happening ten times worse in the US. Everyone should get a detector and range around the countryside where gravel or mud has been dumped. Also landfills that have been converted to leisure centers and parks are good canditates. Parking lots, roads, you name it.

An emerging theme that is catching fire all over the world is governance by the fox watching the henhouse. Films like these help to bring that principle into focus.

There was a photo on ZH of the Carrier using it's washdown system reserved only to get rid of radiation off the ship.

I knew about these systems when studying the Cold War around the time Tom Clancy wrote Red Storm and never thought I would see one of our carriers actually using it for real and reposition upwind of the fallout. (The other side of japan)

Now we are in Typhoon season and all bets are off.

Fri, 08/12/2011 - 23:55 | 1556430 Jim in MN

George, thanks again for what you do. Here is a general FUBAR article from NHK Japan that I stuck on ZH earlier today. There was another one on the discovery that the government had deleted children's thyroid test results from their webpages. It's all too goddamn typical of the overall crisis of legitimacy and 'rule by psychopaths' these days. Peace to you.

NHK news recap on progress at Fukushima: Not much. They are calling the reactors "stable at about 100 degrees" which is essentially "stable with your fingernails keeping you from falling". Decontamination systems working at 66% of promised throughput. And that's the good news.

http://www3.nhk.or.jp/daily/english/11_31.html

Decontamination not successful at nuke plant

5 months after the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant crisis started, workers are still struggling to decontaminate large amounts of highly radioactive water.

The plant's operator, Tokyo Electric Power Company, has now restored all circulating cooling systems for spent-fuel storage pools at 4 of its reactors, after the system was restored at the Number One unit on Wednesday.

Cooling of 3 reactors has been continuing since late June, by decontaminating highly radioactive stagnant water and then circulating it.

The Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency says the temperatures of the reactors have been relatively stable at around 100 degrees, lowering the risk of another hydrogen explosion.

But the filtering equipment -- the key part of the system -- has been plagued with problems. Repeated suspension of the equipment's operation has slowed down the water decontamination process.

In the week until Tuesday, the filtering equipment ran at 77.4 percent of its capacity, the largest-ever. But the overall figure stands at 66.4 percent, failing to achieve the initial target of 90 percent.

The utility is now at stage two of its timetable to end the nuclear crisis, which aims to reduce the amount of contaminated water to curb the risk of radioactive releases from the plant.

The stage also calls for achieving a cold shutdown with reactor temperatures being kept stable and below 100 degrees.

TEPCO is reducing the amount of water injection into the reactors to prevent an increase in the amount of contaminated water, but the effort could be a hurdle in achieving a cold shutdown.

Thanks GW. This stuff not be covered at all in USA. I've heard that contaminated compost and beef has been sent throughout Japan and also countries have rejected imports from Japan due to high radioactivity readings. That's serious right?

The situation at Fukushima is improving. Soon the people evacuated from the 20 to 30 km zone will be going back to their homes. Radiation levels are lower then most places in Colorado.

These old plants held pretty well for that kind of natural disaster. Should have been better, but there were no radiation deaths, only three people died from the direct effects of the earthquake and tsunami. The restricted supply of electricity and the lack of AC killed a lot more people during the summer heat.

Given that buildings and conventional fires killed more than 20,000... Fukushima proved that the plants can withstand the largest natural disasters. Other nuclear plants in the area were intact with only minor damages.

The main problems of Fukushima were the substandard containment buildings (cost cutting?), the exposed emergency generators (couldn't fit in the buildings), and seawalls too small for the record tsunami.

Nuclear energy - the last product made in the US...

but there were no radiation deaths

You might want to give that a little more time.

What did you expect. 100,000 dead in a week from radiation?

Feel sorry for the Japanese people. They are a brave and honorable country that has been betrayed by their government. This entire episode is a great example why you can never trust what the government is telling you.

>>only three people died from the direct effects of the earthquake and tsunami.<<

this is a joke, right?

Sat, 08/13/2011 - 14:14 | 1557315 sambro

This is the plain boring truth. No jokes, exaggerations or other fun stuff. I have nothing to do with the media, the nuclear industry or any of the other industries competing with it. Check what company has the largest market cap.

The media has overblown the Fukushima accident... not by accident - again, check those market caps.

The temperatures of water in the reactors are from 33 to 45 degrees Celsius, cooler than my computer.

The filtration system is working fine, and it's getting better every day - it was custom built after the accident.

Many other places on earth have higher levels of natural radiation than the area immediately adjacent to Fukushima. Ditto for granite lined buildings in NY.

Nuclear energy has its problems and its solutions. Voodoo shamanism isn't a good way to deal with either. Good information isn't easy to find, for a better perspective, I read

Nice post samboro. Some people around here like to toot their horn when it comes to economics but they don't understand enough of it to be able to apply it to the energy busines. The old nuclear power plants held up pretty well considering. That being said, the regulations and obstructionist have prevented moder and more safe plants from being built. Even an Austrian Economist can undertand that.

There will be 100s of 1,000s of cancer deaths because of this, and looks to me like cover-up city. Why would they need to cover anything up if it's all biz as usual according to you? Gimme a fucking break!
