Sounds more like the corium is mixing with the cooling water and the water table at the bottom of a deep hole, and exiting to the sea. Still active and unstable, me thinks. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 37864819 United States 06/25/2013 12:02 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The density of radioactive tritium in samples of seawater from near the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant doubled over 10 days to hit a record 1,100 becquerels per liter, possibly indicating contaminated groundwater is seeping into the Pacific, Tokyo Electric Power Co. said. The latest sample was taken June 21 from the sea near a water intake point east of the reactor 1 turbine building. [...] Tepco said late Monday it was still analyzing the water for strontium-90 [...] [...] during a news conference Monday in Tokyo, Masayuki Ono, a Tepco executive and spokesman, this time did not deny the possibility of leakage into the sea, while he said Tepco is still trying to determine the cause of the spike.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 37864819 United States 06/25/2013 12:09 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | TV: Groundwater shows massive spike in radioactive material at Fukushima plant — Strontium-90 up over 10,000% in past few months — Tepco apologizes Quoting: Anonymous Coward 37864819 Xinhua: Very high radioactivity levels were detected in groundwater from an observation well at the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, said the plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Co. (TEPCO) Wednesday. [...] The observation well was set up on the Pacific side of the plant’s No. 2 reactor turbine building last December to find out the reasons why radioactivity levels in seawater near the plant remained high. The company said the sampled water could be from the contaminated water that seeped into the ground. Reuters: Testing of groundwater showed the reading for strontium-90 increased from 8.6 becquerels to 1,000 becquerels per litre between Dec. 8, 2012 and May 24 BBC News: High levels of a toxic radioactive isotope have been found in groundwater at Japan’s Fukushima nuclear plant, its operator says. [...] Strontium-90 is formed as a by-product of nuclear fission. Tests showed that levels of strontium in groundwater at the Fukushima plant had increased 100-fold since the end of last year, Toshihiko Fukuda, a Tepco official, told media. NHK: Tokyo Electric has again drawn criticism for a delay in revealing the latest incident. Workers took a sample of the groundwater on May 24th. [...] They apologized for the delay. NHK: [Fukushima] prefecture summoned the utility’s managing director, Akio Komori, to the prefectural government office on Wednesday. Komori apologized for the trouble [link to www.youtube.com] [link to enenews.com] Strontium-90 is a radioactive isotope of strontium produced by nuclear fission with a half-life of 28.8 years. Thread: Japan finds highly toxic strontium in Fukushima groundwater!!! Tepco wants to release this into ocean. Criminal!!! (Page 3) |

And the fancy, new enclosures, so neat and organized, are allowing them to collect the emissions so the public won't know that criticalities are occurring underground at the coria. But they cannot hide the contamination, which is making its way to the sea with the groundwater. |

Can't be, as explained! When you have a active Coria (in the process of Fission) you would find Iodine-131 but this is missing, so it can't be! I still think that this are the final parts of the Melt-Down! The Half-Life of Tritium is ca. 50 Days and the Melt-Down was ca. 8XX days ago! Higher seaborne tritium levels outside Fukushima plant suggest leaks not plugged Tritium, a naturally existing radioisotope of hydrogen, is generated in coolant water for nuclear reactors. Unlike radioactive cesium, tritium, which exists in the form of water, is difficult to remove by way of absorption. Tritium, once ingested, flushes out of the human body relatively quickly. Miniscule amounts of tritium are released into the environment during the normal course of operating a nuclear reactor. --- The utility said the radioactive water likely entered the ground immediately after the nuclear crisis began, and later mixed with groundwater and flowed into the well.

[link to ajw.asahi.com] It's got to be a LOT of tritium leakage to find it measurable in the sea water, even if it is nearby. They thing is, is with all of these stories, they are giving it to us with blinders on. So they tell us what the Tritium levels are in such and such a place, but not of Cesium, or Strontium, or Plutonium, levels in that instance. On another occasion they will say what the Cesium levels are somewhere, but not say what the Tritium, Plutonium, Strontium, Uranium levels are there too. etc etc with all of these stories. Looking through the blinders at just this or just that, but stories that are blind to the total data picture. |

This is an isotope release event, and even serious levels may take years to show up in unbiased clinical studies, or even longer to gain common attention if there is "perception control" activities going on. |

Thank You Atom Boy, But the front page link you gave me showed no immediate obvious link to broader information, but I clicked on a few things, like their version of the story, and then to the OP link, and they both indicated that higher strontium levels also accompanied the tritium, ...and not to worry because the government decided that up to 60,000 becquerels in seawater is safe for you. sayonara! |
