TEPCO Admits Fukushima Is Leaking Again - Over 600x 'Safe' Radiation Levels
Having killed a robot by underestimating the level of radiation present in the Fukushima power plant, and after delaying its previous admission of a leak, Tokyo Electric Power Co. (TEPCO) has quickly admitted that the nuclear plant has sprung another leak. As EFE reports, a small quantity of radioactive water has leaked from a storage tank with 70 microsieverts per hour of beta-ray-emitting radioactivity detected on the surface where the water had leaked, far exceeding the recommended maximum exposure of 0.11 microsieverts per hour. But apart from that it's "contained."
A total of 40 milliliters of water was discovered, Tokyo Electric Power Co. (TEPCO), the plant’s operator, said on May 1.
The company believes that the liquid leaked from the storage tank, Japan’s Asahi Shimbun paper reported Saturday.
TEPCO stated that it placed bags of sand around the tank to prevent water from contaminating other areas.
The wet patch measuring 20 square centimeters was discovered by one worker at around 9:30am local time on May 1, it added.
According to TEPCO, seventy millisieverts per hour of beta ray-emitting radioactivity were detected on the surface where the water had leaked.
The leak was detected on the same day as tests began in preparation for the construction of a 1.5-kilometer-long frozen soil wall around the reactor buildings.
A project is aimed at preventing further leaks of radioactive water into the sea from the Fukishima plant.
...
In late April, the water transfer pumps at the Fukushima plant were shut down due to a power outage, leading to the leaking of radioactive water into the Pacific Ocean.
It was preceded by a series of toxic leaks in February, which saw around 100 tons of highly radioactive water leaked from one the plant’s tanks.

Whaaa?
I'm making over $7k a month working part time. I kept hearing other people tell me how much money they can make online so I decided to look into it. Well, it was all true and has totally changed my life. This is what I do... www.jobs-review.com
It's time to raise the old safety limits to the new safety limits by multiplying by 600...
"Again" implies that it ever stopped.
FUKUSHIMA : A Nuclear Catastrophe of Epic Proportions
There's a US based company that makes water filters which remove radioactive contamination from drinking water, including Cesium-134 and Stronium-90, the major radioisotopes coming from Fukushima: www.PureEffectFilters.com

Hey TYLERS - Can you PLEASE ban this j reuter motherfucker (who had 2 or 3 prior user names) who is linking to some bullshit site constantly?
Thanks.
I am surprised any news has come out of HOT-AS-HELL Japan thanks to their new State Secrecy Law. On a different note, maybe J Reuter can drink the radiation part time at home for $7,000 / month
Well F me with a fuku’d-up firehose full of alpha, beta, gamma, stuff, cesium and iodine..
I am making $7K a month from my home just radiating warmth and irradiating any vegetation nearby.
To find out how.. just refer to the asshole bot above.

Exactly! AND when they announced it the other day, they described it as "small"
Fucking unbelievable.
The whole world is (Actually, has already) falling (Fallen) apart at the seams and the Sophistry Continues.
I seriously wonder just how bad it would be if we were detached from the Matrix. Imagine that!
It is small, on a cosmic scale........
That's what she said. Damned with faint praise.

I have noticed that canned tuna being sold over here are now labeled saying that the tuna was caught in the SW Pacific....about as far away from Japan as possible. Sure it was. Needless to say, tuna has been written off the shopping list. I´m tempted to scan these cans with a geiger counter. I wouldn´t be surprised if it started clicking away.

Leaking again? And the last time it wasnt leaking radiation?
“The Nuclear Energy Paradigm Collides with Earth Changes and Technospheric Breakdown”
Yet the Japanese are restarting their reactors. Perhaps it is because they are not prone to Luddite-style hystronics.
In just the past 50 years Coal-based electric power has killed a lot more folks (mostly from mining disaters) than nuclear electric power - and those are really the main choices for large-scale electric power production. Unless you truely believe that "renewable' sources are 1. really renewable and 2. remotely close to being reliable. (hint: neither is true).
" Unless you truely believe that "renewable' sources are 1. really renewable and 2. remotely close to being reliable. (hint: neither is true). "
What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul
Consider the scenario in which AGW proponents limit carbon based fuels while renewable can't yet fill the gap. Cui bono?
Consider that you are an idiot.

Well Ethelred, let us know how your upcoming Fukushima vacation works out. I´m sure it will be quite peaceful.
"Consider that you are an idiot."
And yet you're the one whose words are full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. Ironic, huh?
Nuclear power can be a great way to generate electricity. The problem is Greed. After this, how can you trust any design?
The Japanese used an old 1970's style soviet design, cut multiple corners and violated procedures and protocols in the construction of the plant.
In the end, they made a ton of money, and then went on to win the contract to clean the mess up that they made. Even the Onion couldn't have come up with that idea.
Tepco needed to be completely dissolved, and its heads imprisoned. (or, forced to march in there with shovels and wheelbarrows)
Soviet design by General Electric?
You weekend-rate trolls are a riot
Hey, Number 6, didn't you know it's Putin's fault?
Fukushima always brings out a few trolls for the nuclear power industry who seek to minimize any problems created at Fukushima. But they can't hide that three cores melted down and breached containment, some core materials seem to have melted into the ground. Flooding water on these exposed melted cores is the only solution to prevent further melting. There is no clean up plan, none! Why, because no technology or engineering exists that can clean this up. Hell, the robot sent just to have a peak at the core got fried! What does that tell you about walking in and shoveling core material into lead barrels? Not likely. The best engineering guess, by a Three Mile Island Clean up engineer, was perhaps 75 years from now we can begin to get at core material.
The spent fuel is also a huge risk. Stored on site in pools, all of which were damaged. Little is released about the real condition of pools and rods. Why? because they are all fucked up.
In short. No clean up, not for at least 3/4's of a century. Till then, masses of radioactive water flood over exposed cores. Big mess, no clean up. That's were it stands.
The fuel pools already burnt up.
Its worse than you can possibly imagine.
http://youtu.be/c_QzS5FYvis
If even one of the pools burnt up, you would have seen a massive fire and massive evacuation. Didn't happen.
Bullshit.
"Burnt up" would mean most would have gone into the atmosphere, and fallout all across the US would be easily measurable by the cheapest Geiger counter.
The reactors for Units 1, 2, and 6 were supplied by General Electric, those for Units 3 and 5 by Toshiba, and Unit 4 by Hitachi. All six reactors were designed by General Electric.[5][6]Architectural design for General Electric's units was done by Ebasco. All construction was done by Kajima.

okay, sure tepco, whatever you say. :roll:
"A total of 40 milliliters of water was discovered, Tokyo Electric Power Co. (TEPCO), the plant’s operator, said on May 1."
I calling bullshit on the 40ml. That's about a one-ounce shotglass and is not worth reporting but makes it sound like these clowns are in control of the situation. Meanwhile 100 tons radioactive water is not even newsworthy for some reason... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7FwXr0lAxXs40 milliliters is a tragedy, while 100 tons is a statistic.
Aside from somehting more specific than in the ground how many cores are still unaccounted for?
This is quite possible an Extinction Event - not merely referring to the critters in the Pacific...
Phytoplankton is the machine.
Now, I got no fight with any man who does what he's told, but when he don't, the machine breaks down.
I truly ruly believe all "facts" and "data" announced by Tepco. Excuse me while I do my eye exercises :roll: :roll:
I do hope they are making progress on that ground freezing project. it isn't a bad idea. definitely worth a try. it won't work if they try to half ass it but if they freeze the shit out of the ground full perimeter and deep enough it might help in a number of ways.

Al Gore said the star fish are melting and glowing green because of global warming, dont you believe him and the MSM?
The water is too "hot" for life now.
Fukushima destroyed the Pacific ocean.

This is nothing that little Dutch boy and his thumb can't handle......
Just a simple plumbing question...
If the molten uranium core melted through the massive stainless steel reactor pressure vessel, through the massive Mark I containment and concrete base mat, through the ground and into the Tokyo aquifer, haven't ya had a massive nook leak since this friggen thing began? In three of the six cores?
I can help with that: yes
Just need to get a couple Arkansas boys on the problem for some good old-fashioned 'ozark engineering'. They'll have it rigged-up in no time.
Chernobyl was the trailer, Fukushima is the Directors Cut.
In the Samurai tradition the Tepco CEO and Board of Directors should commit themselves to do the honourable thing and personally work themselves to death cleaning up their mess at the reactor. A Seppuku (honourable suicide) might go a long way to a meaningful justice for their incompetency and corruption. If they are not willing to do the honourable thing then maybe the public should just stuff their sorry ass in a leaking pipe and call it a good start.
Everyone.
Repeat after me.
"The solution of pollution is dilution".
This process works for immigration, nuclear waste, and the money supply.
As with all.things: Up to a point.
TEPCO should just club all the baby seals to death before they all wash up on California's coast.
I don't see any other alternative.
For every 40 mililiters you see there are always 20-100 more behind the fridge !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This thing will be unapproachable for centuries. Nothing can be done to mitigate this. Anything you ever here otherwise is a lie.
If you havent already, stop eating tuna and any other Pacific caught fish.

The most radioactive leaks from Fukushima are the lies.
This is how one knows that the area around Fukushima is not safe: If it were safe, the connected pols and crats, and their friends and families, would be secretly buying up all the area with their insider knowledge while continuing to tell the population that it is unsafe.
"They are always lying. Always."

Tellst us when its not leaking...Anybody check to see how much oil is still linking in the Gulf of Mexico from BP debacled deep sea drilling fragile salt domes???
"Anybody check to see how much oil is still linking in the Gulf of Mexico from BP debacled deep sea drilling fragile salt domes???"
You are asking entirely too many intelligent questions.
It is interesting that TEPCO finally admits to something it is still propaganda though. For one, they report 600x radiation level but the same so called safe level was risen at least 30 times just after disaster. in other words the radiation could be at 18000x of pre-disaster safety level. And probably it's even worse in some areas.
Quick recapitulation of situation:
Two of four reactors suffered complete melt down, one partial meltdown and fourth which was not operational at that time still has big spent fuel problem which cannot be removed, posing threat of explosion if another disaster hits.
In four years what they accomplished was merely pouring water on cores of melted reactors and pumping it into hundreds of storage tanks build in the vicinity of NPP while having no clue what to do with it. Attempts to decontaminate it failed.
The vessel containments of melted down reactors have failed. They developed concrete cracks as well damage of pressure piping during disaster and in aftermath. Through those fissures some of nuclear fuel and highly contaminated water’s pouring into ground water system. The fact of bridging containment vessel (prelude to China syndrome) alone leads to horrifying conclusions that the problem is unfixable at all, short of currently impossible task of removing all melted nuclear fuel from vessel and/or wherever it went. The truth that anyone involved in mitigation of this disaster wouldn’t even utter.
On the top of it after four years TEPCO does not have good account of state of melted down reactors or complete list of damages, since supposedly world leading powerhouse robotics nation cannot produce one dammed good robot that would work in such extreme conditions. Several attempts to deploy robots including latest snake robot have been proven complete failure.
It is shocking but they simply do not know what to do. They are in loss, confusion and panic. There is neither plan, nor technology invented yet to tackle the problem. In desperation thousand retired workers indebted to Japanese mafia are being sent there into these reactors, for two minutes each, to senselessly die on orders of Japanese Oligarchs. It is that bad.
Since rate of process of removing radiation from highly contaminated water is many times lower that rate of pumping newly contaminated water into new, freshly built storage tanks, the whole effort is hopeless from engineering point of view. All this is just Sisyphus work, which lead to nowhere since they have to keep pumping water to cool and moderate fission material inside leaky damaged reactors so they will not blow up again. Now many those tanks are also leaking profusely back to ground water adding to chaos. All the contaminated water leaked from reactor vessels and storage tanks ends up in the ocean continually bleeding radiation and all frantic attempts of preventive measures such as “ice wall” utterly failed.
Japanese MSM media, in 1984 style propaganda of changing past to control present, covers up gruesome reality of the Fukushima situation with its human implications, not to mention ignores severe problems with remaining 100 aging Japanese nuclear reactors put offline after 03/11/2011. The official talk about Fukushima NPP decommission process planned for about four decades supposedly already started is a cruel fairy tale in context of utterly hopeless situation on the ground. The apparent inertia and indifference of the government, busy destroying Japanese economy with QE, cannot be explained in any other way than deliberated criminal, genocidal act against Japanese nation and world community unless you believe in fairy tales.

To the rescue came bunch propagandists from Pentagon or W.H. and devised peaceful use of nuclear energy mantra, brilliantly conceived method of hiding massive nuclear war preparation effort as a benign service to humanity as proclaimed by president Eisenhower as early as in 1953. As a result first so-called US Civilian Nuclear Power Plant was born in Shippingport, Pennsylvania in 1957, with moderate redesign of original military nuclear reactor and adding steam turbine and electric power generators. Even deadly adversaries of US in Soviet Union did not openly attack Eisenhower, by calling him liar and hypocrite in editorial of “PRAVDA” newspaper as they usually did but instead they were uncannily receptive to supposed “peace” overtures. They must have understood the point and figured out that they can also use this propaganda ploy to keep readying to nuclear confrontation while utilizing previously useless steam to light up half of Siberia, all in the name of world peace. No need to go on.
Ignoring inherited environmental dangers and flaws in basic concepts of design, nuclear power plants were never meant for civilian use for one reason alone. Namely complete lack of any technology enabling utilization of deadly, lasting up to billion years, nuclear waste for any further civilian use and fairy tales about new breeder reactor technologies do not change anything in that matter. The Fukushima NPP disaster is prime example of deadly results of reckless design based more on war contingencies than consideration for civilian lives, combined with complete criminal incompetence of private operator focused solely on profit. The medium term effects are starting to show up in form of 6000% increase in cancer cases in Fukushima prefecture while authorities call area safe.
Go to http://netc.com/ and check out Japan's radiation monitors.
There has to be something that can be done for at least the above ground radiation. Incase the entire thing in a mix of concrete and lead... something.. this has been going on for 4 years now.
I'm not an engineer but why can't they build a center for operations as close as they can get it using prefabricated lead and concrete. Concrete can be made with different mixes to withstand different conditions, if you have to build a 2000 foot chute for the concrete and have the equipment behind a shielding wall then so be it. I just don't buy that nothing can be done.
The cat is out of the bag and the radiation already released isn't coming back and the groundwater is screwed but they should be able to at least attemp some type of incasing for the above ground radiation that is spewing everywhere.
Encase.
on-going exothermic radioactivity means you can't encase it... the heat build-up would pop any concrete build structure open. The cores are still in-situ so the heat sources are at the centre of the wreckage, and the wreckage means no direct access to the core. The RF radiation messes up radiocontrol, boils hydraulic fluid, and cooks batteries. No current robot can withstand this, and the tech is not yet out there to build a resistant bot capable of dismantling these cores [removing the fuel rods]. More complicated than that, if 2 fuel rods touch in air, they catch fire. The pools keeping the rods underwater are leaking and damaged. ...
It is litterally 'out of control'...hence the 4+ yrs of open spewing radiation.
Japan isn't worried. Their country will soon be manned by robots. So chill.
Is it sad or funny that we've been saying that for fifty years and they still can't make a functional robot?
I can't believe WW2 happened. I'm thinking it was a false flag. That imperial Japanese army was actually Chinese wearing Japanese colors. That way Japan took the bombing. There is no way the Japanese could have mustered that effort. It had to be the Chinese.
Strange that people with money have no fucking sense. Arrest them.
I had to take a double and triple-take on this one: 40 ml (roughly 8 teaspoons) of fluid which caused a 20 cm^2 area that had a (I'm guessing Geiger) surface read of 70 uSv/hr? This is a minimization tactic: it is meant to demonstrate transparency by Tepco whilst at the same time diverting from the bigger (quite grim) picture. 'Oh look over there - is that a droplet of mildly radioactive water we see? Report it fast - the public must know!' Meanwhile, thousands of litres of highly radioactive fluid is ending up in the Pacific on a daily basis. But - nobody can smell it, see it, taste it, or feel it, so it must not be happening.
It's becoming all too obvious how dependent the Japanese are on electronics. Seeing news footage there are always the most electronic dependent motors etc in the background, why aren't they using old cast iron ajax units? In this situation in particular it's easy to see where old school solid steel and iron American technology could really help these guys out.
As it is now they keep sending robots in for the last four years then act astonished when it fries shortly there after. It's just bizarre.
I've given up caring.
The fracking is shaking the ground near the worst run nuclear plant in north America. 90 miles south west of me is Wolf Creek. My electric bill is going up 12.4% to pay for mandatory upgrades.
I figure this whole thing makes me contemplate death to a degree that six years of watching CNN at work hasn't done. I watched the reactors pop while trying to focus on writing requirements, test cases and procedural documentation. The barrel bombs and chlorine killing Syrian children might be more bloody footage but nothing turned my stomach like those reactors.
The full year of watching the oil rig burn and puke oil caused a serious bout of depression. But I realized ptsd is actually mental armor.
I don't worry anymore. I've studied death, religion and truth. I don't fear it. I just want to die an honorable death. Making it count while I'm still here is a blast. Spent all day Saturday celebrating my nephew's 5 years on this earth.
I do enjoy telling folks about this. They really don't know it's still burning. By the way, are there CDOs I can buy for bone cancer treatment payment plans?
They were insured by the public

its your right to know
Some may have concerns about Fukushima
Let me assure you
The situation is under control

It's true. It's only the biggest radiation accident counting Chernobyl. And the radiation material will leak into ocean and spend two years on their way to NA. Not really a big deal. As long as the wind don't go NW or N or W, Japan is safe.
Figure they (TEPCO and the Energy Ministry) would have come up and rolled out more cleanup related gear. The Bureaucrats seem to be content by allowing a very long window of time for the cleanup process.
They're getting ready to freeze the surrounding areas in an attempt to prevent more groundwater from entering on its way to the Ocean.
The risk factor rarely mentioned here is, even though they may be pumping water into the reactors, the groundwater seepage actually may have been cooling off the melted core.
let's see what happens.
A total of 40 milliliters of water was discovered, Tokyo Electric Power Co. (TEPCO), the plant’s operator, said on May 1.
...........................
According to TEPCO, seventy millisieverts per hour of beta ray-emitting radioactivity were detected on the surface where the water had leaked.
That's actually not a lot, and beta radiation is not very dangerous...
They have poisoined the Pacific and deny it. The radiation that they deny will cause cancers of epic proportions in the future. Deny and lie the way of true governments.
Ya well, National Parks have rendered a million times more land uninhabitable than any nuclear plant ever will. It all a matter of perspective.
I imagine the 1% is planning underground life for their children and grandchikdren and grand grand....
