[SNIP] The amount of Fukushima radioactivity in this seawater is miniscule, about a Becquerel per cubic meter of water, or Bq/m3 of short-lived Cs-134, and poses no concern at all. And never will. By comparison, the EPA drinking water standard for its sister radionuclide, Cs-137, is about 7,400 Bq/m3, and for all radioactive materials is almost a million Bq/m3. But since we can see a single atom disintegrating, we can detect this trace amount of radioactivity easily, way better than we can detect toxic compounds like mercury. This Fukushima rad-signature has already taken its seat alongside that left over from above-ground nuclear tests in the 1950s and 60s as a curious and interesting phenomenon we can use scientifically to track water and air circulation patterns, and to use in forensic oceanography. But the Fukushima rad-concentrations are nowhere near as high as that left over from the old bomb tests, which are nowhere near as high as that of natural background. In fact, Fukushima’s rad-signature is so low that we need to separate the Cs-134 from the Cs-137 just to know it’s from Fukushima. Cs-134 has such a short half-life (2.1 years versus 30 years for Cs-137) that it has long decayed away from the old tests. The Cs-137 from Fukushima is so low it’s totally eclipsed by the leftover Cs-137 from the 50s and 60s. Rule of thumb – ten half-lives till gone. interesting read, What they are saying is…….the water is safe, drink it!. [link to www.youtube.com (secure)] Chugiakian |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 57721132 Japan 05/06/2014 08:22 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | @ Op The background level of radiation in seawater varies around the world but is very low, averaging about 14,000 Bq/m3 . It results overwhelmingly from naturally occurring radioactive materials (NORM) in the Earth’s crust that reach the ocean after weathering, particularly K-40, U-238/235, Th-232 and their daughter products. These radionuclides usually drop out as particulates, sorb onto materials near the shore, or precipitate out of solution, before they get to the deep ocean, which is why seawater is much less radioactive than soil and vegetation. (post-post note: a knowledgeable commenter corrected my units, see Table 1 of Radioactivity in the Environment) Of the man-made radionuclides, Cs-137 left over from old bomb testing dominates the radioactivity we see in water and soil. In seawater, Cs-137 concentrations average less than 2 Bq/m3. The primary source of Cs-137 is the historic above-ground nuclear weapons testing from the 1950s and 60s, but some regions have experienced additional inputs. The Irish Sea shows elevated levels of 61 Bq/m3 as a result of radioactive releases from the Sellafield nuclear reprocessing facility at Seacastle, U.K., and levels in the Baltic and Black Seas are elevated up to ten or twenty times background-Cs because of fallout from the 1986 Chernobyl event.

(Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei. In this case, cesium-137 has more neutrons than cesium-134.) The scientists are tracking a radioactive plume from Japan's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. Three nuclear reactors at the power plant melted down after the March 11, 2011, Tohoku earthquake. The meltdown was triggered by the massive tsunami that followed the quake. [Fukushima Radiation Leak: 5 Things You Should Know] Cesium signals The initial nuclear accident from the Fukushima reactors released several radioactive isotopes, such as iodine-131, cesium-134 and cesium-137. Cesium-137 has a half-life of 30 years and remains in the environment for decades. Cesium-134, with a half-life of only two years, is an unequivocal marker of Fukushima ocean contamination, Smith said "The only cesium-134 in the North Pacific is there from Fukushima," he said. Cesium-137, on the other hand, is also present from nuclear weapons tests and discharge from nuclear power plants.. Chugiakian |
Chugiakian (OP) User ID: 53604407 United States 05/06/2014 08:25 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Cesium-137 levels at U.S. beaches were 1.3 to 1.7 Becquerels per cubic meter, Buesseler said. That's similar to background levels in the ocean from nuclear weapons testing, suggesting the Fukushima plume has not reached the U.S. coastline yet, he said. [link to local.msn.com] And at Fukushima, radioactive water continues to escape from the damaged power plant into the ocean. A new leak was reported last week, although that one did not empty into the ocean. …. Let me get this straight….. Fukushima is still leaking into the Pacific, but the new leak didn't make it into the ocean??? Last Edited by Chugiakian on 05/06/2014 08:26 AM Chugiakian |

The additional 7 million yen will raise the total amount of compensation to 14.5 million yen per person. TEPCO will also be required to pay additional money to support evacuees who will not be able to return to their hometowns to help them buy land and houses elsewhere. According to estimates by the office of the ministry’s committee, a family of four from the difficult-to-return zones will be eligible to receive 106.75 million yen overall, including the compensation announced on Dec. 26. It is also estimated that a family of four from zones where residences are restricted--where radiation levels are between 20 and 50 millisieverts per year--will receive 71.97 million yen. A family of the same number from areas where preparations will be made to lift the current evacuation order, which cover regions with an annual radiation level of 20 millisieverts or lower, will be able to receive 56.81 million yen, according to the estimates. Have you not heard the latest? ALL benefits will be terminated by Feb next year. all those who have temporary domiciles away from the "Hot Zones" are being forced to return. the compensation for loss of houses in that area runs from a paltry $2000 to approx half the market value of the house before the event. why when our tax was raised 3 percent did my electricity go up 3.5 percent? [link to japandailypress.com] TEPCO is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of corrupt corporate greed here in Japan, Misinformation and disinformation abounds. Thanks for this….. Very concerning for sure. Further confirmation that the People of Japan will pay not only more in taxes, but more in electricity to pay the people affected by this disaster, but help line the pockets of TEPCO at the same time…… have to keep TEPCO profitable now don't we, so they can do a good job at managing this crisis.

Four other families of employees have reported they have also received letters from TEPCO asking they return the money, with two families needing to pay over 10 million yen ($96,000) each. Geesh!
