Shipjack Tuna Caught off Miyagi Hauled to Iwaki Onahama Port, and Sold to Tokyo . Onahama Port in Iwaki City had its first landing of 18 tonnes of shipjack tuna caught off the coast of Miyagi Prefecture. A quick testing was done by Iwaki Meisei University didn't find radioactive materials, and the fish were sold in the city and also shipped to the Tokyo region. ex-skf.blogspot.comby Majj 9/10/2011 11:14:53 AM

- On 30/8/2011 afternoon, at the press conference Tepco answered that it is difficult to determine the pointing person’s identity and there is no plan to investigate. Supposing it to be a fact, if it is announced formally that Tepco and the prime contractor never add any sanctions to the company which I belonged to, I open myself and the day’s my behavior and make the asterisks on this page clear.(I have already left a company.)
The main points of this page
- I did the action regardless of the company. So I want not to add any sanctions to it.
- I want the government and Tepco to address the labor issue seriously.
- The intention of pointing a finger toward camera was to point out about the labor issue and observation through the media. pointatfuku1cam.nobody.jpby Majj 9/10/2011 11:24:08 AM - "The rats are abandoning the sinking ship " They find a good excuse for it ....... >>>>> Firms speed moves to S. Korea / Companies see advantages in cheaper electricity, personnel and FTAs. An increasing number of Japanese companies have been speeding up activities to shift production to South Korea.
This is against a backdrop of markedly more favorable investment conditions in South Korea than in Japan. Among them are lower electricity charges and free trade agreements South Korea has made with countries that have strong market potential.
Japanese companies have been increasingly exposed to intensifying concerns over power supply stability and the yen's sharp appreciation.
Given the progress on trade liberalization overseas, concerns over the hollowing out of the country's industries are likely to deepen without effective government steps to support companies' domestic production bases. www.yomiuri.co.jpby Majj 9/10/2011 11:29:08 AM

- From the Mainichi article about the fuel leaking out of the reactors:
"Because the responsibility for spreading nuclear materials into the environment lies with TEPCO, it makes sense to bring all the radioactive waste to TEPCO headquarters in Tokyo."
DOH!by lillymunster 9/10/2011 12:35:54 PM 
If Tanabe is right that corium melted-through the RPV and entered the drywell on March 21, then there should be an extreme spike in radiation on the 21st, but there was no radiation spike on the 21st. Instead, the radiation peak is associated with just before the explosion on March 14. So the U3 radiation data supports melt-through around March 14.by Ian 9/10/2011 2:12:40 PM- @Ian so the 14th is the highest rad level we have?by lillymunster 9/10/2011 2:17:00 PM
- @lillymunster, yes, for Unit 3, that's what our Edano's charts show www.houseoffoust.com . I've not been able to find the raw data its based on, but don't doubt it.by Ian 9/10/2011 2:18:57 PM
- Was the wet well radiation level high also? Thinking of random things that could related to this. MOX has a low melting point and will vaporize easily. The RPV has a known flaw that the gasket of the RPV will leak when it hits a certain pressure level.
How does this (the rad spike on 14th) mesh with your theory on 3?by lillymunster 9/10/2011 2:19:30 PM - Could there have been some sort of massive fuel event on the 14th or does the rest of the data say that wasn't possible?by lillymunster 9/10/2011 2:20:03 PM
- I lost my profile pic, can't find how I got it there in the first place to get it back.by Ian 9/10/2011 2:20:06 PM
- @lillymunster, the radiation peak on the 14th is perfect for any theory that melt-through occurred around that time, as my theory posits. I don't see rad data for the 13th, seems there's just a glimpse on the 14th that shows the highest measured rad readings for Unit 3. On the other hand, the lack of a rad spike on Mar 21 is not supportive of Tanabe's late-melt-through model, imo.by Ian 9/10/2011 2:24:14 PM
- The sudden presence of corium in the drywell should cause a massive increase in radiation therein, and so the Unit-3 radiation data is telling us that that happened before the explosion, not on the 21st.

@Ian When you log in , before you do, choose a pic. There's a box right there before you log in.by RadioGuy 9/10/2011 2:27:35 PM
What did happen on the 21st was a halting of water injection, as seen in this chart from www.kantei.go.jp . That was associated with higher temps. Possibly less water allowed pre-existing corium fallen into the drywell to heat and burn concrete. iangoddard.com

TEPCO submits heavily redacted copy of Fukushima nuke accident manualby RadioGuy 9/10/2011 2:42:22 PM - The House of Representatives Special Committee on Promotion of Science and Technology and Innovation had requested TEPCO submit two operating manuals -- one each for accidents and severe accidents -- through the Economy, Trade and Industry Ministry (METI), but said Sept. 7 that it had received only the former document, which had itself been significantly redacted.by RadioGuy 9/10/2011 2:42:29 PM
- @RadioGuy, true, I believe Tanabe cites increased radiation levels in locations well outside Unit 3, yet there's no spike in radiation in the PCV on the 21st or anytime after the peak on Mar 14.by Ian 9/10/2011 2:42:48 PM
- I love the concept of submitting a redacted manual to your governmental OVERSEERS. (hah)by RadioGuy 9/10/2011 2:43:17 PM
- @Vivre thx for the Plutonium papers/linksby Cryptococcus 9/10/2011 2:46:58 PM
- @Ian Right... I see your point. So, by what mechanism does a temperature/pressure spike relate to an EXTERNAL rad increase? Corium escape outside the monitor's range seems to be the most likely explanation.by RadioGuy 9/10/2011 2:47:02 PM
- NHK: Japan METI minister Hachiro just resigned.by Cryptococcus 9/10/2011 2:50:14 PM
- @RadioGuy, temps could spike in case water levels fell, but radiation stays the same given no relocation of corium at the time. If radiation levels rose beyond the recorded level, they should rise and then stop (having gone off chart), not continue at the similar low level. This is all an obvious problem for Tanabe's late-melt-through model.by Ian 9/10/2011 2:54:23 PM

Solar power plant to open 15.5 miles from Fukushima
A Japanese children's theme park company is planning to open a major new solar power plant just 15.5 miles from the damaged Fukushima nuclear reactor.
The new project, located on a 3.7 acre tsunami-damaged site in Minamisoma, involves the creation of a one megawatt solar power plant, according to reports in the Nikkei.
The £3.2 million plant will also open its doors and allow visiting children to experience life as a solar plant worker in a realistic setting, from conducting maintenance inspections to monitoring operations.
The new plant taps into an anti-nuclear sentiment which has been sweeping across Japan since the March 11 earthquake and tsunami damaged the Fukushima plant, triggering the world's worst nuclear crisis in decades.

Big Ivan, The Tsar Bomba (“King of Bombs”)
The World's Largest Nuclear Weapon
The effects were spectacular. Despite the very substantial burst height of 4,000 m (13,000 ft) the vast fireball reached down to the Earth, and swelled upward to nearly the height of the release plane. The blast pressure below the burst point was 300 PSI, six times the peak pressure experienced at Hiroshima. The flash of light was so bright that it was visible at a distance of 1,000 kilometers, despite cloudy skies. One participant in the test saw a bright flash through dark goggles and felt the effects of a thermal pulse even at a distance of 270 km. One cameraman recalled:
The clouds beneath the aircraft and in the distance were lit up by the powerful flash. The sea of light spread under the hatch and even clouds began to glow and became transparent.
A shock wave in air was observed at Dickson settlement at 700 km; windowpanes were partially broken to distances of 900 km. All buildings in Severny (both wooden and brick), at a distance of 55 km, were completely destroyed. In districts hundreds of kilometers from ground zero, wooden houses were destroyed, and stone ones lost their roofs, windows and doors; and radio communications were interrupted for almost one hour. The atmospheric disturbance generated by the explosion orbited the earth three times. A gigantic mushroom cloud rose as high as 64 kilometers (210,000 ft).
Despite being exploded in the atmosphere, it generated substantial seismic signals. According to a bulletin of the U.S. Geological Survey it had seismic magnitude mb = 5.0 to 5.25. The blast wave was detected circling the world.

Japan Trade Minister Resigns: Yoshio Hachiro Leaves Over Nuclear Crisis Gaffe
Japan's new trade minister resigned Saturday over a remark seen as insensitive to nuclear evacuees, dealing a blow to a government that took office just eight days ago in the hopes it could better tackle the daunting tsunami recovery.
"A series of my remarks caused serious distrust among the poeple, especially the people of Fukushima," Yoshio Hachiro said at a late-night news conference. "I seriously reflected on my remarks, and I made the decision to step down."by RadioGuy 9/10/2011 4:13:13 PM - Insensitive, yes, but it was the brutal honesty that was his demise.by RadioGuy 9/10/2011 4:17:52 PM

The human guinea pig defying the Fukushima leak
The power lines that bisect the hills surrounding Nobuyoshi Ito's paddy fields lead directly to the Fukushima Dai-Ichi nuclear plant.
He surveys the paddy fields and plastic-roofed greenhouses of the agricultural research centre that he manages; raising rice, potatoes, peanuts, beans, cucumbers, aubergine and sunflowers. It is also his home. Dragonflies criss-cross the heads of the rice crop and, as night falls, the croaking of frogs echoes off the forested hillsides. But just 20 miles to the southeast, the three damaged reactors at the nuclear plant continue to emit radiation into the atmosphere.
"There are people who are opposed to nuclear power who will tell you that even a small amount of radiation is very dangerous to human health," says Ito. "There are others who say that exposure to small levels of radiation is not a dangerous thing. I'm 67 years old and they say that the impact of exposure can only be seen after 15 or 20 years … I'm prepared to become a human guinea pig."
"Two years ago, Iitate village was voted the most beautiful in all of Japan. The situation is very different now," Kanoh adds.
"This place has gone from being the most beautiful village in Japan to the filthiest in the country," he says. "It will never go back to how it was before. I don't want to think about it."
