- Vitrified waste at Kyushu emitting radiation above limits
Detected 47 times the standard dose of Kyushu Electric Power from Waste
Kyushu Electric Power Nuclear Fuel Waste Management Facility (Rokkasho Village, Aomori Prefecture) from the surface of vitrified high-level radioactive waste transported, and were able to measure the radiation dose up to 47 times the accepted standard of facilities 13 is found. Was above the reference value of 3 to 28 solidified. The cause is not clear.
Is not solidified and hardened glass reprocessing spent nuclear fuel, UK companies were brought to the facility in September this year. Measurements on September 29, exceeding the reference value for the three storage management. Subjected to measures to reduce surface contamination, then re-measured, October 06, fell below one. The remaining two measures are continuing.
The previous facility, this 1414 of vitrified waste from France and Britain (of which this Kyuden 139) has been brought to. The standards were detected at doses higher than the first remeasurement. Kyushu Electric Power and attendance during unloading from the UK, the British company was examined using the same criteria, there was no anomaly.

- Hi@all, good morning Elaine. I have a question. If anyone could answer I would be grateful. If there is a radiation release in Iran which direction is the fallout likely to go? Is there something like a downwind. I am in Central Europe right now and like to know just for my own peace of mind. Any advice? I will be back later to check for answers.

Education ministry compiles booklets on radiation
The education ministry has published booklets designed to provide students with basic knowledge on radiation, in response to increasing calls for such materials in the wake of the Fukushima nuclear plant accident.
The ministry released the 20-page booklets on Friday. There are three versions, targeting students in elementary, junior high, and high school.
The books focus mainly on basic information on radiation, its effects on human health, and ways to protect oneself from radiation exposure.
The Fukushima accident is only referred to in the preface. The text does not mention the cause or any other details of the accident.
The book for elementary school pupils explains the unit "sievert", which measures the extent of damage the human body receives from radiation exposure.
It also explains that the average radiation exposure from Japan's natural environment is about 1.5 millisievert a year.
The booklet for junior high schools explains the difference between internal and external exposure, using charts to show how radiation exposure affects human health.
After the accident in March, parents urged schools to teach children basic facts on radiation. In responding to those requests, the ministry compiled the booklets in cooperation with experts on radioactivity and radiation exposure.

- Radioactive cesium found in mushrooms in Kanto
Yokohama City has stopped using dried shiitake mushrooms in school lunches after detecting 350 becquerels per kilogram of radioactive cesium in its stocks.
The city said on Thursday that it discovered the contamination during its screening of ingredients for school lunches.
Also on Thursday, 830 becquerels per kilogram of radioactive cesium, exceeding the government's limit of 500 becquerels, was detected in shiitake mushrooms grown outdoors on logs in a city in Ibaraki Prefecture.
The city is about 170 kilometers from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant.
Earlier this week, shiitake mushrooms containing radioactive cesium above the official limit were found in 2 cities in Chiba Prefecture.
Restrictions have been imposed on shipments of mushrooms grown by the same method in these cities.
Yokohama says the radioactive cesium detected in the city was below the government's limit, but it has decided not to use dried shiitake in children's lunches for some time.

Hot spot in Funabashi City
Funabashi City, in Chiba Prefecture, east of Tokyo, says relatively high levels of radiation have been detected at a local park.
The city said a citizens' group reported on Wednesday that the radiation levels in the park were measured at up to 5.82 microsieverts per hour.
The city conducted its own measurements at the site on Thursday, and got maximum readings of 1.55 microsieverts per hour, one centimeter above the ground.
The city removed the surface soil at the site, and plans to conduct more detailed inspections.
Separately, Chief Cabinet Secretary Osamu Fujimura said on Friday that the central government is responsible for decontamination work.
He added that the environment ministry, the science ministry, and the Cabinet Office will discuss the issue later on Friday.

Radium may be cause of radiation in Setagaya
The Japanese education ministry says the high level of radiation detected in a residential area in Tokyo is likely to have come from radium 226, and has nothing to do with the nuclear disaster in Fukushima.
High levels of radiation were found at a patch of sidewalk in Setagaya Ward in Tokyo about a week ago.
Dozens of glass jars were found in a wooden box under the floor of a house facing the sidewalk by experts commissioned by the ward.
The ministry sent the experts to investigate, and a high level of radiation, 600 microsieverts per hour, was detected on the surface of the jars.
The jars contained a powder.
The experts put the glass jars in a lead box which blocks radiation and moved it away from the residential fence.
The level of radiation at the fence then dropped from around 3 microsieverts per hour to 0.1 to 0.3 microsieverts.
Analysis of the energy of the radiation revealed that the radioactive material is highly likely to be radium 226 which is used for cancer treatment and fluorescent paint.
The education ministry will investigate why the substance was there without permission.
The radioactive substance will be removed from the house on Friday and be stored in a secure place.

www3.nhk.or.jpby Edano via Www3.nhk.or.jp 10/14/2011 10:30:18 AM- Radioactive bottles removed from Setagaya home
TOKYO, Oct. 14, Kyodo
Several dozen bottles deemed the source of high radiation detected in Tokyo's Setagaya Ward were removed Friday afternoon from under the floor of a house there by government officials.
The bottles, with up to 600 microsieverts per hour of radiation at the surface, were found Thursday in a wooden container beneath the house after the ward detected abnormal levels of airborne radiation in the area.
The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology is almost certain the powder inside the bottles is radium, easing public anxiety that the contamination could have been related to the nuclear crisis at the crippled, radioactive cesium-leaking Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant over 200 kilometers away. english.kyodonews.jpby Edano 10/14/2011 10:33:14 AM - Hi@all, thanks for the answer @Edano. Something is about to fall from the sky! SATELLITE RE-ENTRY: The ROSAT X-ray observatory, launched in 1990 by NASA and managed for years by the German Aerospace Center (DLR), will return to Earth within the next two weeks. Current best estimates place the re-entry between Oct. 22nd and 24th over an unknown part of Earth. Although ROSAT is smaller and less massive than UARS, which grabbed headlines when it re-entered on Sept. 24th, more of ROSAT could reach the planet's surface. This is because the observatory is made of heat-tolerant materials. According to a DLR study, as many as 30 individual pieces could survive the fires of re-entry. The largest single fragment would likely be the telescope's mirror, which is very heat resistant and may weigh as much as 1.7 tons.
