"No end in sight for radioactive releases at Fukushima": IAEA -- "Could last months": IRSN

IAEA: No end in sight for radioactive releases at Fukushima, Deutsche Presse-Agentur, March 25, 2011, 2:33 pm EDT

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said Friday it could offer no timeline on when Japanese engineers could stop radioactive leakage from the stricken Fukushima plant, even though the likely source of the emissions has been identified.

‘We don’t know how long there will be releases,’ senior IAEA technical advisor Graham Andrew told reporters at the agency’s seat in Vienna.

In addition to suspected leaks of the vessel’s shielding reactor cores at the plant’s units 1 and 2, data also indicated a leak at reactor 3, IAEA officials said.

The IAEA’s chief safety official, Denis Flory, said… [f]irst the reactor would have to be cooled and water would have to be injected to create an environment in which people could operate in the building and assess the damage.

‘So we are not in this phase at all,’ he said.

Japan nuclear crisis ‘could last months’, AFP, March 26, 2011:

Three reactors at Japan’s Fukushima nuclear plant remain “precarious”, a state that could last for “weeks or even months”, France’s Institute for Radiological Protection and Nuclear Safety (IRSN) says.

It said on Friday it remains “greatly concerned” by the situation in the No 1, 2 and 3 reactor units, which have been hit by a series of blasts and fires since the plant was hit by the March 11 earthquake and tsunami. …

Radiation is going to spew into the air for months, maybe even years. This isn't just going to bring an end to japan but will also truly change the world as we know it over time. May future generations forgive us, if there are any.

Just like the gulf oil spew. Months and months of toxic shit. Thanks

Was it something like 6 months to clean up Chernonbyl. No miracle cure for Fukushima, that is.

It's venting a lot right now! [link to www.tepco.co.jp]
