TEPCO Admits Fukushima Radiation Leaks Have Spiked Sharply
Just weeks after the completion (and failure) of one supposed 'containment' wall (and as the construction of the "ice wall" begins), TEPCO, the operator of the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant, has admitted that the levels of radioactivity in underground tunnels has risen sharply (4000x last year's levels). As NHKWorld reports, TEPCO officials have stated that they plan to investigate what caused the spike in radiation... yes, that would seem like a good idea.
With the newly constructed 780-meter 'containment' wall "already leaning," news that the radiation leaks are growing is a grave concern. As NHKWorld details,
Tokyo Electric Power Company has detected 482,000 becquerels per liter of radioactive cesium in water samples taken from the tunnels on December 3rd. That's 4000 times higher than data taken in December last year.
The samples also contained 500,000 becquerels of a beta-ray-emitting substance, up 4,100 times from the same period.
Around 400 to 500 tons of radioactive water, including seawater washed ashore in the March 2011 tsunami, is still pooled in the tunnels.
The tunnels lie next to a structure used to temporarily store highly radioactive water, which cooled melted nuclear fuel inside the damaged reactors.
TEPCO officials say it is unlikely the wastewater stored in the building has seeped into the tunnels.
They say the water level in the tunnels is higher than that in the building and measures are in place to stop the toxic water from leaking out.
They plan to investigate what caused the spike in radiation.
Do not panic though, since...
They say there has been no leakage out of the tunnels as radiation levels in underground water nearby have not risen.
Because why would they lie (again)?

It just keeps getting better and better.. fvkit I am getting drunk now.
Sounds like some corium is in direct contact with water.
Yeah, monitoring the situation is about all you can do you fucking lying bastards. You don't have the slightest clue how to put this genie back in the bottle. The technology doesn't exist. And if it did, you wouldn't use it. All you bastards can do is cordon off the area, sit back and pray that the solution to pollution really is dilution. Shit, it'll probably work. The Pacific Ocean is a really big fucking place, right?
Where are all the enviro-nazis on this subject? <crickets>
No, sure can't fix one little nuclear spill but they damned sure know how to fix the whole fucking planet from non-existant global warming. Just ask 'em.
It's like we're monkies playing with a loaded gun. Someone explain to me again how that was ever supposed to work out.
And someday we get to decommission all those rusting power plants. Every single one. At great expense. Requiring centuries of monitoring on a scale not unlike what the Japanese are attempting now. All expense, all risk, no profit of any kind. So who is going to pay for that? And pay for the centuries of containment? The answer obviously is nobody. It's just not going to happen. There is no story, no technology, no plan, no funding source, no place to do it, just nothing.
at 7 pm the main hatchway gave in, he said fellas it's been good to know ya
I beleive the upper pyramid folks know something about radiation that us peasants do not. Otherwise none of this makes any sense. They can't possibly be that stupid as to set these plants up all over the world and potentially destroy it (the world, that is) for their future generations. Can they?
From which one can only conclude, with a probability of approximately 1.0, that there will be one Fukushima event for EVERY fission-power plant in existence. How many are there, several hundrend, I think?
You got it mostly right, except what they pray for isn't a 'dilution solution.' What they pray for is for all of us to DIE.
These globalist fucks are eugenicists. This shit is part of their PLAN. Just check out these nice quotes from those fucks:
https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/tag/eugenics
http://forum.prisonplanet.com/index.php?topic=57446.0
http://www.harmlesswise.com/conspiracy/quotes/eugenics
If people don't wake up to all this shit and stop it, there won't be anything left worth saving, let alone living for.
Just look around and see what is going on all around the world: fracking; fluoride in water; vaccinations that don't even WORK (full of metals); chemtrails; GMO's; Fuku radiation (and spent uranium munitions); war; etc.
Well, these 'soft kill' methods weren't working like they hoped, so now they are going to step things up a few notches. People: we all need to realize that we are frogs in a boiling pot and admit to ourselves that THIS IS HAPPENING, NOW. Time to stand up and be counted.
Sorry to be such a downer, but the obvious needs to be said, and often. We need to accept that this is really going on and DO SOMETHING instead of blowing it off and watching football or whatever. These bastards have decided they don't need us any more, and next year is when they will try to push their agenda to max. IF enough of us stand up and say, NO, we can at least feel better about trying something instead of leaving it to someone else...because, let's face it: there is no one else. It's up to US.
/end rant
In other words...
Left Coast, kiss your ass goodbye (first).
Outstanding comment. As to where the enviro-nazis are on this, they are hiding out with the libtard feminists who are totally and completely SILENT on the muslification of our country... Guess they are busy trying to figure out how to put a positive spin on being forced to wear a fucking potato sack! "At least they can't see we're fat?".
The enviro-nazis, as you call them, are, e.g., here - http://enenews.com/ - or here - http://fukushima-diary.com/ .
This when they are not censored by assorted morons, as usually happens in the mainstream media...
Got to be it. Would be bad news if something is moving around under there.
A hot core cooked through the containment and now is somewhere in trucked in fill dirt and you don't think it is moving around? Hell lets pump 50 billion tons of water on it to make sure.. fvkfvk fvkity fvk FVK!
ya dont know the half of it.
straight to the mantle.
If it went straight to the mantle it WOULD be contained. Still radioactive, but out of harm's way. Sadly, it won't go anywhere near that far.

corium is like that fat kid
keep away from everything
There is no corium, all the fuel vaporized into the atmosphere.

MmmmMMmmm! Yummy corium water!
"But we have it "contained", just like Barry has ISIS contained. Nevermind the two-headed whales, and salbster."
Japan better call in Putin for help before TEPCO's reactors go hot again and implode. The TEPCO plants should have had a concrete sarcophagus built around them three years ago, to encase the radiation. Radioactive fallout from the Fukushima Daiichi complex has been causing spikes in infant mortality on the West Coast of the United States for over three years. People in San Francisco are well advised to take a stong iodine supplement, a prophylactic against thyroid cancer caused by the cesium-135 nuclides the jet stream is carrying to California. I wouldn't be surprised if Obama takes a dose of nascent iodine before he makes any trips to Los Angeles.
Instead, they are re-inventing the Pykrete concept, not applied to aircraft carriers this time, but instead to miraculous nuclear containment vessels. . .
Don't worry, be happy and enjoy the Tokyo Olympics. After all, they may be the last Olympics.

They lost 3 nuke cores. The slow death of the planet will last millions of years.. Glad I lived in good times during the last century. The 60's to the late 80's were the best.
Humans.. dont ya just love em?
f v k
Bad era to be an olympic athelete. First you get to swim through sewage in Rio in 2016, then get irradiated in Japan in 2020.
Is that some really twisted test of the 'survival of the fittest' concept?!?
Yeah, and we're supposed to worry about 0.8 degrees of warming over 40 years.
Can you say cognitive dissonance?
We. Are. So. Screwed. Everywhere.
Paging Arnie Gundersen.
I was just discussing " sea walls" yesterday.
I'm done with this crapola.
Must be time for another false flag. I wonder where this time?
Maybe Putin will just shoot a couple dozen bunker busters into Yellowstone and lets get this shit over with.
They are slowly revising the numbers upward to holy fuck we're fucking fucked and have been for the last several years. P.S. Sorry about that.......
DO NOT apologist for telling the truth. ever.
Impressive, excellent summation of the last few million words of news I've read over the last several months.
The 'False Flag 'scenario is highly probable...
When you run out of ?
Ice<> Lead #82
Don't be hacking me.
Ha Hoo!
Your generation has the abilty to make the world better, and yet you choose ambivalence ?
they can build good cars... containment structures, not so much i guess
I'll NEVER own a "self starting" car without old school MBZ style hooks.
That whole "push button" car starter scheme was done in the 50's. It failed like 3three on the tree.
This isn't imigration/ I appreciate the fact that individuals want to use/exploite the resources of the United States.
I've watched the benevolence of "good will" over the decades.
I've studied history, and the historians aren't running the financial/philosophical tanker properly.

At this point I just assume if they are admitting anything is a problem that they probably just lost an ass load of spent rods containing weapons grade fuel.
man the icewall
That's what that glowing sushi is about.
Does anyone really think these people or the US government would warn about lethal dosages?
It's sad to say that the Soviets were better at protecting it's citizens than these corporate jokers.
All about hiding as much as they can. Just like developers are going to build homes right next to Rocky Flats in broomfield Colorado.
So... does this mean the Fukashima power plant won't be coming back online soon? Dang, I was thinking 2016 would be the year.
They need to conduct an investigation to determine why radiation levels went up. I will give them a clue: it is the radioactive fuel they spewed all over the damned place!
As the core burns through our crust it encounters pockets of water that vaporize on contact.
not only does this irradiated water eventually seep back into the ocean..
it creates pockets of pressure that collapse thereby increasing earthquake frequency above.
look up the eq frequency since 1990
its no coincidence
Pay no attention to the Geiger Counter that's pegging off the scale.
Trust us, everything is cleaned up.
Cmon global warming envirofreek warriors, where the Fuckushima are you? Where is the outrage? The penance environmental damage tax? I demand this be remanded at once to the crooks at the UN, for their immediate use to extort $$!
Somebody should start giving out public confidence awards to corporations. And the winner is..... TEPCO, slogan: "we've got this".
I expect GODZILLA to be showing up at any minute now.
Tyler.. you have kind of been on a roll lately...
how long until they annouce there is nothing to be found in the containment vessel but broken promises?
Pros 134/137 ratio improving.
Cons Strontium, Plutonium, Yttrium not much sunshine.
In WWII all the Japanese people were willing to die for their country. The inability to contain Fukushima may give them a self-inflicted chance.
California's starting to feel like the front row.
what .gov stops reporting on is interesting...cdc's last cancer data was 2012 (fukushima was 2011)
http://www.cdc.gov/cancer/dcpc/data/state.htm
nahh..they aren't covering anything up..good thing we have a transparent administration
I notice those fruits and veggies from Cali are 2x to 3x the size they were beofre Fuki.
That's odd.
"That's still 500 times below US government safety limits for drinking water, so there's no need to panic even if you've recently been swimming or fishing in the Pacific."

Is it okay to eat 2 [5oz cans of ] solid albacore tuna>per week?
The fish I eat is freshly irradiated. Even when I go to Queensland, it's an concern.
The irony is Japan is a fucking joke, packaged in fake money, and blow-up dolls.
Are those the limits they set before Fukushima, or the limits that were adjusted upwards immediately after Fukushima?
At the risk of proposing an idea that might end up being stupid, have these morons at Tepco ever heard of the processes called "filtration and distilation"?
You pass water through [multi-stage] filters, so no particles larger than 1 ~ 10 micron (or so) pass through. The solid material collected in the filters can then be packaged up in solid containers fabricated for the purpose of long-term storage of "nasty stuff".
Then the filtered water is distilled (evaporated away) to leave the rest of the solid materials to package up in a similar manner.
-----
My point is this. As long as "nasty stuff" is dissolved and/or suspended in water, that water can leak through the dams or containers, dams can break releasing contents all over the place, and so forth. There is an important difference between solids and liquids... solids tend to stay put while liquids tend to flow in every possible direction.
Maybe I'm missing something important on this issue. But, seems like these Tepco creeps are clueless. And yes, utterly corrupt.
Wow.
"...dissolved and/or suspended in water..."
In this tiny corner of the human universe, you dare think you can write this, and be taken seriously?
FUCKING SHILL.
Get back back to us (real soon) when there is a way to filter water on the ATOMIC LEVEL.
If you are not a bot, you NEED TO STOP BREATHING.
Well, that was a nice information-free response.
-----
I and others would appreciate any response you can muster.
I will begin by making a few points.
#1: I explicitly said 1~10 microns, while a hydrogen atom is somewhere around an angstrom or three (based upon recollection from a long time ago). Therefore, how can you possibly claim that I proposed filtering on an atomic level? The filtration was simply a first stage to remove the large and easily removed bulk. Unless I completely misunderstand your message, you appear to be attempting to purposely mislead readers to believe I claimed something I definitely did not (1 micron == 10,000 angstroms).
#2: What do you think happens when you evaporate water at 110~150 Celsius? Please describe what you believe happens?
As a hint, and something to consider when you answer #2, what do you imagine happens to all atoms and molecules (of any size) with vaporization temperatures above 150 degrees Celsius? Do you claim metals like Plutonium and Uranium evaporate at 150C or so? Do you imagine other less dense elements and compounds like Cesium evaporate at 150C or so? How does that work?
I will add that I've been a scientist, engineer, product developer and inventor since before I finished school. However, I'm not a chemist or an atomic physicist, so I won't claim my experience makes me an expert in the topics at hand. However, I suspect I'm no more clueless on these topics than an average individual.
-----
We all look forward to your clear, highly comprehensive, informative and precise response.
You may continue breathing, but no need to hyperventilate.
-----
PS: When I said my suggestions might end up being stupid, I was thinking the reason would be something like "the scales involved" (how much water), or perhaps costs. Or just some other practical consideration I do not foresee off the top of my head.
PS: Whether any individual takes anything I write seriously... is entirely up to that individual. Some do, some don't.
PS: The creeps at Tepco built most of their nuclear reactors on or near the oceanfront in one of the top three places on planet earth most prone to huge earthquakes and tsunamis. That alone qualifies them as clueless and corrupt, regardless of how many technical mistakes they've made over the years and decades.
Thank you... A tiny voice of reason and reasonable questions amongst the mouth breathers...
As for those posting links to http://enenews.com, stop... I waded into that site and there is so much bad science and bad information there I am truly appalled.
Consider this:
Official data shows U.S. hit with huge spike of ‘most dangerous’ radiation from Fukushima — Levels far exceeded federal regulatory limits — Alpha particles nearly 1,000 times normal; Includes plutonium — Gov’t workers in “fear of radiation”What part of the above doesn't pass the sniff test but has you shaking in fear?
Quick question, how far do alpha particles travel? From all reports, any monitoring equipment died from radiation damage before it would be conceivably possible to measure the alpha levels.
Include "plutonium"... Of course it does...
Since September 2010, Unit 3 has been fueled by a small fraction (6%) of plutonium containing mixed-oxide (MOX) fuel, rather than the low enriched uranium (LEU) used in the other reactors.Why were the Japanese using plutonium? Who the fuck knows... That would be an answer worth digging for.
BTW, based on the comments on enenews.com, there are a lot of people with absolutely zero understanding of nuclear science.
Standard Disclaimer: Reactor meltdowns - bad, Not even understanding the basic science, however, should qualify you as a judge at a witch trial.
It would appear that you are correct, and that "I wreck-on so" has lost their marbles, but good.
The EPA prefers reverse osmosis, but distillation works, too. It just requires a lot of energy to boil that much water. They would need to build some sort of power plant...
Inventor, hunh? Looks like you have your work cut out for you. Might I suggest heating the water with lasers powered by hydro-electricity aimed at a submerged opaque target.
I wonder whether there's any way to extract a lot of heat energy out of those [former] reactors. Aren't there other working power plants at the location?
Problem is nobody can get near it without melting their faces off.
Fuk is gonna' end up in a concrete sarcophagus, like Chernobyl (I hope.)
It's also an issue of corrosion as well (which in this case means more radioactive waste). It turns out many of the elements generated by fissile events also happen to be extremely corrosive to most metals/plastics you would use to pump water through your hypothetical radioactive water distiller.
Maybe fill the tank with algae that can feed on radioactive metals/salts.
Conan the bacterium: Deinococcus radiodurans
"Deinococcus has been genetically engineered for use in bioremediation to consume and digest solvents and heavy metals, even in a highly radioactive site."
"The Craig Venter Institute has used a system derived from the rapid DNA repair mechanisms of D. radiodurans to assemble synthetic DNA fragments into chromosomes, with the ultimate goal of producing a synthetic organism they call Mycoplasma laboratorium." (Craig Venter is the man who developed the first artificial life form.)
Yay, downvotes!
SOMEBODY's up early.
If these fools had only used thorium reactors we would not have this problem. Trouble is with a thorium reactor you cannot make weapons so they will never be considered. With a "normal" reactor you are constantly trying to stop the reaction from getting out of control. With a thorium reactor you are constantly trying to keep the reaction going.
You know if zee Germans ever built that one in South Africa? That was supposed to the model one from what I recall. But yeah, spot on about it being much safer and not being able to make weapons. I wonder who down voted you... Probably some twat that works at a defense contractor hah. Gimme some of dat passive aggressive faggotry. Badge of honour.
So as long as we don't eat or drink anything, or breathe any air, or go outside, or touch anything, we're all safe.
4000x? Bullish!. Let's talk about bovine flatulence instead though. Or how your baby exhaling is killing the world. Damn babies, they're the threat! Arm yourselves Americans. But first pay your carbon taxes.
4000X ain't so bad, call me at 1,000,000X. Jeez what a f'd up mess that is, a wall to keep the radioactive ocean from flowing into the semi radioactive ocean. I'm sure that's going to work. GE: We bring good things to life!!!! que the line dancing commercial!
My sister live in Alaska on the coast. Lots of deformed dead starfish washing up on shore and seal pups with strange bloody lesions on their skin. If I were allowed to post pics I'd show the proof she sent me. I'm no tree hugger, but when do we stop trying to fuck up every square inch of this round rock?
