"Two of the 370 tanks were due to arrive Saturday from a manufacturer in nearby Tochigi prefecture (state), TEPCO said. Two hundred of them can store 100 tons, and 170 can store 120 tons.
The tanks will continue arriving through August, and will store a total of 40,000 tons of radioactive water."by Reed 6/5/2011 7:23:53 AM - transcript of Gunderson interview sory if already postedby inCalifornia 6/5/2011 7:30:12 AM

"I watch them die, young and old, I think it's caused by the radiation"
Members of the Spokane Tribe worked gladly in the uranium mines on their land. Now they fear radiation from the mines is killing them
When there’s a funeral on the Spokane Indian Reservation, Harold Campbell puts on his grave-digging hat, collects his tools and heads to the cemetery. Over the past 30 years, the volunteer gravedigger has helped prepare the final resting spots for hundreds of the tribe’s members. Death is a familiar presence to Campbell, yet one aspect troubles him: Too many Spokane Indians die from cancer.
“I watch them die, young and old,” Campbell said. “I think it’s caused by the radiation.”
The radiation is from the Northwest’s only open-pit uranium mines – an all-but- forgotten chapter of Washington’s Cold War history. Uranium ore was blasted out of the Spokane Reservation’s arid hillsides and sold to the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission. The truckloads of radioactive material that rumbled daily through the reservation helped build the country’s nuclear weapons arsenal. www.spokesman.comby ms in la 6/5/2011 7:47:07 AM- Safety at Jaitapur mangalorean.com
On the controversial Jaitapur nuclear power project in Maharashtra, the Minister for Environment and Forests said that it would be implemented, but maintained that issues of safety measures needed to be addressed. He said that India had no alternative to nuclear energy when it came to meeting power requirements in future. We have to review our safety systems in the light of what happened in Fukushima, Japan, he said. Today, nuclear power accounts for three percent of our electricity supply. Our objective is to increase this to six per cent by 2020 and to about 12 per cent by about 2030, the minister said.by ms in la 6/5/2011 7:57:57 AM - NEWS : MOVING the WATER . www.rr.comby Salu 6/5/2011 8:01:08 AM

@salu they have been 'storing' water here there and everywhere for weeks so feeding this to the media as a 'news' story makes me think the PR folk are on holiday or tepco havent paid their billby elainekirk 6/5/2011 8:23:43 AM

Radioactive water leak to be prevented for 3 days
Tokyo Electric Power Company has decided to increase the transfer of radioactive water by about 1,500 tons to a facility at the troubled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. The company says the transfer can keep contaminated water from leaking outside for about 3 days.

I would like to think that we don't have a problem so far from the plant - do we have previous readings for Hokkaido ? www.bousai.ne.jp
by elainekirk 6/5/2011 11:23:11 AM
"The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) will lead the first international, multidisciplinary assessment of the levels and dispersion of radioactive substances in the Pacific Ocean off the Fukushima nuclear power plant—a research effort funded by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation.
“This project will address fundamental questions about the impact of this release of radiation to the ocean, and in the process enhance international collaboration and sharing of scientific data,” said Vicki Chandler, Chief Program Officer, Science at the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation. “It is our hope that through this adverse event, we can increase our current knowledge about various natural and man-made sources of radioactivity in the ocean, and how they might ultimately impact ocean life and health around the world.”" www.whoi.eduby Pedro Jesus 6/5/2011 11:30:44 AM- It is wonderful how so many institutions are happy to join in a charity funded exercise to follow the chain of damage that will be caused well into the future by Tepco's pollution of OUR international waters.
It leaves me only to ponder whether if a charity had been in a position to offer funding for intervention all these veritable institutions would have shifted ass and tried to reduce the damage.
I am really pleased that our children and childrens children will have a record and it is only a shame that the results will not include the present/next/future 'accidental discharges into the ocean especially as tepco soup is becoming more concentrated as times goes by .by elainekirk 6/5/2011 12:04:52 PM - @elainekirk Readings for Hokkaido run in the same range for Aomori; 20-35.by M.I.A. 6/5/2011 12:37:53 PM
- @<MIA ty the readings look fine up till they put them under review today it seemed strange but is most likely nothingby elainekirk 6/5/2011 12:44:22 PM
