Fukushima’s Impact on the Ocean Analyzed
No danger from water, but marine sediments are the big question. What’s also troubling is that cesium-137 concentrations have stayed at near constant levels since July, implying that radioactive water is still being released, either directly from the reactors or indirectly from groundwater. "I’m convinced there are ongoing leaks," Buesseler says. "Even if you plug all leaks and shut down reactors, groundwater keeps leaching into the ocean and these waters and contaminated sediments can be a long-term source of cesium-137 for decades to a century." spectrum.ieee.orgby Majj 1/12/2012 6:37:54 AM

- @lillymunster yes, i wonderered about it.by Edano 1/12/2012 12:58:51 PM
- 9 km. i think the ocean is very deep in this region, i guess 5-6 km ? so this is really shallow.by Edano 1/12/2012 1:00:50 PM
- @Edano the one last night near Iwaki was really shallowby lillymunster 1/12/2012 1:01:33 PM

greetings to allby dean 1/12/2012 1:28:21 PM- -The release rate of radioactive materials from Unit 1 through 3 as of the early Decmber was estimated to be about 60 million Bq/h (Cs-134 and 137) at maximum.
［TEPCO announced on 12/16］by dean 1/12/2012 1:50:06 PM - www.gengikyo.jp Primary Parameters of Fukushima Daiichi Units 1-4 as of 1-10-12by dean 1/12/2012 1:53:54 PM
- TEPCO announced the radiation exposure doses of 18,846 workers who had started working at the Fukushima Dai-ichi NPS from March to November.
[12/27] 171 workers received more than 100mSv. (100-150mSv: 139 workers, 150-200mSv: 23 workers, 200-250mSv: 3 workers, 250mSv-: 6 workers)
Exposure doses of 6 workers who received more than 250mSv are distributed from 309 to 678mSv.
*The radiation exposure dose limit for emergency workers was set at 250mSv as a speacial measure on March 14. The special measure was abolished,
making the limit original one, 100mSv, when the goal of "Step 2" was achieved.by dean 1/12/2012 1:58:50 PM - Hi Dean, just got back inby lillymunster 1/12/2012 2:16:42 PM
