@Ian I would think there is a typical ratio of lead 210 to cesium, stronium etc in fallout. This would be one way to determine how much of the lead could be tied to the fallout and how much would possibly be naturally occurring in the soil.

Gas sampling from unit 1's tent filter
www.tepco.co.jpThe middle column says something about at a gauge. So I don't know if that means iodine still happening now? I may try to translate more when I have time today.

@Pedro Jesus The results show a notable cesium amount but it isn't through the roof. I can't think of a way lead could be concentrated in amounts that are somehow worse than the cesium contamination unless you have naturally occurring lead 210

@Pedro Jesus Japan has lots of radium in spots. So would that be a potential source?

Conversations on twitter that the protective iodine stockpile is all past the expiration date. Refers to Iwaki specifically. Concerns if unit 4's fuel pool falls apart it might be needed and the supply is expired.

Worker tweets. One mentions the post where the under 2 drilling supposedly brought up corium chunks. He doesn't seem to deny the claims made but doesn't really confirm it either:
I work a lot and does not reinforced to do so. @ Hanehibiki: @ sidewall and bottom of the fuel pool No. 4 from the blog of the members Mabuchi sunnysunnynismo is in the situation significant erosion of the member such as concrete than usual result was injected into the pool and water immediately after the accident, on the bottom, especially
Kite in the countryside. . . Medical 者Rashii much. (Baz underground turbines just write a story I heard not a person) with no nuclear power plant before the accident, as people and our plant and in no wise man but I found the name quite various kinds. Will be helpful. After that wonderful board (° °;)
Right (o ° °) I announced to deal quickly and firmly monitor perfectly and tightly into the New Year patrol lax. This can be neglected and気Dzukanakatsu, if another more serious events. @ Automaticfocus : @ Sunnysunnynismo in the current situation, if anyone noticed scared just incase you did, "
I hope you can see I like to point out that in the reference url. @ Morimoto_Naoki : @ Yukari_Kokubun @ Sunnysunnynismo buildings are considerably damaged that. What happens if a major earthquake destroyed? That. Then I'll worry anyone. That there is a pool on the fourth floor itself, Location
Unit 4, we have to wait and see but I know that is not in the big events, the collapse of Unit 4 and the upcoming Toka suggest you know what the big deal with yourself is not good.
The guys that are trying to escape in panic sent the iodine is in Iwaki, a new delivery of iodine with outdated. 考E直Se banging his head on the corner of the tofu thoroughly if this still does not understand.

Blei (210 Pb)
Die letzten 100 Jahre anhand von 210Pb
Das Bleiisotop 210Pb entsteht aus dem Zerfall eines Isotops des Edelgases Radon (222Rn), welches über eine Uran- und Radiumzerfallskette in der Erdkruste entstanden ist und als Gas in die Atmosphäre entweicht. Dort bildet sich 210Pb, welches dann mit Regenfällen ausgewaschen wird und sich in regenwassergespeisten Systemen anreichert. 210Pb ist daher in allen jungen Sedimenten der Erdoberfläche natürlich vorhanden. Die Halbwertszeit beträgt aber nur 22 Jahre, sodass es schon in Sedimenten, die nur 100 Jahre alt sind, nicht mehr nachgewiesen werden kann. Die Sedimente aus dem Schalkenmehrener Maar und dem Ulmener Maar wurden an der Universität Liverpool mit 210Pb nach der Methode von Appleby (2001) datiert. Eine Interpretation der stark schwankenden 210Pb-Gehalte vor 1950 ist unmöglich.
www.uni-mainz.deLead (210 Pb)
The last 100 years based on 210Pb
The lead isotope 210Pb produced by the decay of an isotope of the noble gas radon (222Rn), which was created through a decay chain of uranium and radium in the earth's crust and is released as gas into the atmosphere. There is 210Pb, which is then washed out with rain and accumulates in rainwater-fed systems. 210Pb is therefore in all young sediments of the earth's surface naturally present. The half-life is only 22 years, so it already in sediments that are only 100 years old, can no longer be detected. The sediments from the Schalkenmehrener Maar Maar Ulmener and were dated at the University of Liverpool with 210Pb by the method of Appleby (2001). An interpretation of the fluctuating 210Pb levels prior to 1950 is impossible.

a quite qood explantion of natural lead-210 findings. it comes out of the air and is therefore found all over the world..
by Edano 1/5/2012 1:58:31 PM

lead 210 and polonium 210 pose a certain problem as they "naturally" contaminate drinking water. the german limit for drinking water is 0,048 mSv/a for Pb-210 and 0,042 mSv/a for Po-210.
www.umwelt-online.de the EU commission recommends 0,28 mSv/a for Pb-210 and 0,44 mSv/a for Po-210, which poses a risk for babies. this limit is controversial and under criticism at the moment.

Earthquake southwest of Santo Domingo
Santo Domingo, 05/01/2012 - (rw)
Santo Domingo - Only 55 miles west of the capital Santo Domingo at 5:35 local time, the earth quaked. The earthquake occurred at a depth of 10 km. The shock waves in the early morning hours could be perceived by the entire island population. The Intensitätsmagnitude was not high enough to issue a tsunami warning. The people surrounding especially near the Epicentrum were surprised in their sleep by the quake and fled in panic from their homes. The Dominican earthquake safe service calls on the people to rest and predicts a number of small aftershocks during the day. www.domrep-magazin.de
