#Radioactive Strontium from Groundwater at Fukushima I Nuke Plant for the First Time
Radioactive strontium (strontium-89 and -90) was detected from the sub-drain pits at the Reactor 1 turbine building and the Reactor 2 turbine building. The samples were taken on May 18. It is the first time that radioactive strontium was detected from the groundwater at Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant.

High concentration of radioactive strontium found at Fukushima plant
TOKYO, June 12, Kyodo
Radioactive strontium up to 240 times the legal concentration limit has been detected in seawater samples collected near an intake at the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, Tokyo Electric Power Co. said Sunday.
The utility known as TEPCO said the substance was also found in groundwater near the plant's Nos. 1 and 2 reactors. The government's Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency said it is the first time that the substance has been found in groundwater.
The agency said it is necessary to carefully monitor the possible effects of the strontium on fishery products near the plant.by jt 6/12/2011 8:51:26 PM
There were lots of debris pictures from the tsunami in news articles yesterday. How do you even figure out where to start? Where do you put it all? It was like they just put entire neighborhoods through a wood chipper. A steady pile of shredded everything as far as you can see.by lillymunster 6/12/2011 8:52:03 PM
@nancy they havent released the daily photo dumpby elainekirk 6/12/2011 8:52:03 PM
@lillymunster Love the kitty tape. :) @all I read about 6,000 Bq/kg of Cesium-137 found in mushrooms from Bulgaria — Initially, it was thought the mushrooms have been irradiated d by the Fukushima NPP disaster
But they think it’s from Chernobyl. In Norway in 2000 -2007, it was still up to 14000 bq/kg with cesium found in mushrooms. Contaminated from Chernobyl.

Radiation Levels In Reactor One Spike At 261 Sv Per Hour - Indications of Ongoing Criticality
Posted by Lucas Whitefield Hixson at 10:15 AM The radiation levels in Reactor 1 Drywell has spiked to a new record high 261 Sv/hr. This is a sign of pretty consistent criticality in the reactor. The corium has breached the core containment, and is releasing radiation without TEPCO acknowledging the implications of this constant criticality. The pressure level in Reactor 1 has dropped to atmospheric levels, indicating the breach in containment.
The rising levels of radiation in the drywell also indicate that the efforts to control the fuel inside the reactor from going critical is becoming unmanageable. The radiation is emanating from the reactor, and levels around the Number 1 Building are rising instead of gradually decreasing, another indicator of ongoing criticality. news.lucaswhitefieldhixson.comby Tenzing via 4.bp.blogspot 6/12/2011 9:09:44 PM- @Tenzing : well ....

Japan tries to bring back tourism after it plummets "Basically, what we're seeing is travelers worried about visiting Japan because they don't think it's safe," Suzuki said.
As a result, Japan has been reeling from a huge drop in tourists. The Japan National Tourism Organization reported a 62.5% decline in foreign visitors in April compared with the same period last year. www.baltimoresun.comby Panserbjorne9 6/12/2011 9:27:26 PM- @all Strontium in groundwater was detected a month ago!

Strontium from seawater and groundwater is also the primary = "closely monitor" - NISA
Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry on August 12, groundwater was collected from May 18, the first nuclear power plant premises Hukuzima TEPCO announced that it has detected radioactive strontium. Detection of groundwater is the first time seems to have been released in the accident. According to NISA, a 89 per cubic centimeter of strontium in ground water No. 1 becquerel 0.078, 0.022 90 is the becquerel. The machine is 19 becquerel 89 No. 2, the 6.3 is 90 becquerel. Unit 1 is likely to flow into the air and soil, the origin of a relatively high concentration of strontium in Unit 2 is not knowing. From seawater near the intake, has been found 240 times the rise in strontium concentration limits set by the country's largest, NISA has seen the impact of high levels of contaminated water leaked into the sea. Deputy Nishiyama Hidehiko "In the big fish, but I think not, it is necessary to carefully monitor" has said.(2011/06/12-20: 19)

Groundwater and seawater strontium detected high levels of Fukushima Daiichi
TEPCO 12, from five sites around the Sea of Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant and underground water, announced that it had detected radioactive strontium. At some places in the ocean is 240 times the standard concentration limits. Ito Takeshi Ue strontium 90 half-life of about 29 years tend to accumulate in the bone enters the body.
Nuclear power plant from the soil in the site thus far have been detected in groundwater is found from the first time. Groundwater near the No. 1 was collected on May 18, strontium 89 per 1 cubic centimeter 0.078 Becquerel, Becquerel discovered that 90 .022. Groundwater near the Unit 2 is 89 becquerel 19, 90 was 6.3 becquerels. Is released by nuclear accidents, it is expected to flow into and from the surface with air and rainwater.
One was collected from May 16 in waters near the intake of Unit 4, 26 times the maximum concentration of strontium-89 standard, 90 are found 53 times. Unit 2 intake near 67,117-fold, respectively, near the No. 3 intake is 80 times that detected a 240-fold.by jt 6/12/2011 9:28:06 PM - @elainekirk : and here: www.tepco.co.jp on the last line, "計器不良" means instrument failure.by Edano edited by Edano 6/12/2011 9:28:56 PM

@Panserbjorne9 And they wonder why ? The GoJ lied and the world knows it.....who would want to risk it when they do not obviously care for people's well being !!by Veenie 6/12/2011 9:31:27 PM- @elainekirk : it is up to you if you believe this "instrument failure". i translated all the notes on the data sheets for my plots, and there are many intrument failures. i noted them in the graphs. but, of course, Lucas Whitefield Hixson should have noticed it at least.by Edano edited by Edano 6/12/2011 9:32:00 PM
by Edano via Houseoffoust 6/12/2011 9:33:26 PM- @edano it has been known for many weeks that that instrument is faulty I think due to the fact that the 'instrument failure' cannot be seen I will take the post down so people are not caused fearby elainekirk 6/12/2011 9:34:07 PM
- @elainekirk : well but it is written on the pic.by Edano 6/12/2011 9:35:12 PM
- @edano I will leave it be as it has been made clear now :)by elainekirk 6/12/2011 9:36:01 PM
- @elainekirk : i agree, leave it here :) it is a valid speculation. maybe he is right in the end. who knows ?by Edano edited by Edano 6/12/2011 9:36:46 PM

So let the Japanese media play down the protests now !! There are many more than even shown here many many more
p.twipple.jpby elainekirk via P.twipple.jp 6/12/2011 9:45:01 PM- @elainekirk I think, we oughto send out pictures and video of the protest's, showing numbers..IF the media is really downplaying this..whatever you find, put it out there !by Veenie 6/12/2011 9:48:38 PM

- Japan’s Decline as a Robotics Superpower: Lessons From Fukushima. Many Japanese were disappointed that no Japanese-designed and -produced robot was used at the Fukushima nuclear accident site. Japan’s long pre-eminent place in the industrial robot market has been eroded by emerging economies, while personal assistance robots, seen as the next market for Japanese robotics, have yet to bridge the risky gap between research and commercialization. Then, what is necessary for the resurrection of Japan as a Robotics Superpower?
