WTH is that?

One of the points in the videos is outside the containment door and was 870 mSv - Yikes!

Then saw this:
1,300mSv/h detected near the surface of the northern grooved rail when whether the
water exists in the rail or not was being checked.

It looks like water is leaking out the hatch door

@lillymunster I wondered why they were sayng so much about the rail

High radioactivity detected in some Fukushima rice

An inspection of recently-harvested rice in Fukushima Prefecture has found levels of radiation higher than the government-allowed limit.

The Fukushima Prefectural government says tests have detected 630 becquerels per kilogram of radioactive cesium in rice from a field in the Oonami district in Fukushima City. The government's maximum allowable level is 500 becquerels per kilogram.

Oonami is about 50 kilometers from the disabled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.

The prefectural assessment followed tests conducted by a local agricultural cooperative on Monday, which pointed to higher dosages than the interim tolerable limit.

The prefecture says the farm in question produced about 840 kilograms of rice this year. It says the harvested rice is being kept in a warehouse and has not gone into circulation.

The prefecture says it has asked all farmers in the district to suspend rice shipments.

The central government says it has begun to assess whether to ban rice shipments from the district altogether.

This is the first time that radiation levels higher than the government limit have been found in rice crops since the nuclear accident.

Last month, the prefecture allowed shipments from the district after tests at 2 locations largely confirmed radioactive levels lower than the legal limit.

The prefecture says it will reexamine the crops from all 154 farms in the district.

A prefectural agriculture department official says the prefectural government is appalled by the test results. He says the prefecture will try to obtain information on distribution of rice from surrounding areas, and will investigate why the rice contained such high levels of radiation.

The head of the local agricultural cooperative says his cooperative takes the fact that radioactive cesium has been detected in the district seriously despite the contradictory results of earlier tests. He says his cooperative plans to conduct more detailed tests.

The first video the amount of flashes/static on the video as they get close to the rail is really noticable.

@Edano chickens coming home to roost eh

Gotta love it. They take a few rice samples far away from the plant declare it all good and now of course have to back track. Sounds like the beef.
by lillymunster 11/16/2011 11:36:41 PM

@lillymunster but but but they tested 2 samples they werent to know there were any chance of some of the other 154 being contaminated

TEPCO recently discovered hydrogen buildups within the containment buildings in Fukushima Units 1, 2 and 3. Could there be another explosion, and if so how? Fairewinds conducts a laboratory experiment to show that if oxygen is present with hydrogen in a nuclear power containment, a deflagration explosion might occur. fairewinds.com

I have removed Gornostaypol from the spikes on the Chernobyl map. Reviewing the data again I found that the time stamps on that station shifted from minute increments to hours increments during Oct 5th initially giving the look of a spike. Will re-review other spikes to assure this same time stamp error did not impact other fluctuation areas. Will get an update to the spreadsheet once done.

On Saturday Nov. 12, 2011, media were granted access into Japan's tsunami devastated nuclear power plant, Fukushima Dai-chi. What they saw was a striking scene of devastation: twisted and overturned vehicles, crumbling reactor buildings and piles of rubble virtually untouched since the wave struck more than eight months ago. www.huffingtonpost.com

On Saturday a group of journalists, including this reporter, were allowed for the first time to enter the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant on a guided tour.

It was a chance to get a first-hand look at the crippled plant, where 3,000 workers in protective suits are still working hard every day to contain the nuclear crisis triggered by the March 11 quake and tsunami. www.japantimes.co.jp

But here's the video of Packbot working at the 1.32 sievert/hr (or 1320 millisieverts/hour, or 1,320,000 microsieverts/hour) location in Reactor 3's reactor building where the human workers somehow will have to go in.

Try refreshing the page. If that doesn't work I can repost them. I can still see them.
