There is a major error in their assumption that it is too radioactive to be from Daichi's reactors. If they are looking on the internet for what is coming out of the reactors they may not be taking into account the decays chains and branching reactions. Also, vapor deposited alpha emitters will have higher emissions than a formed foil or bar.
Report Comment
Radioactive materials were found in the Sea of Japan only about a week after the disaster started. The official story was that it had probably been moved there by currents. I spent some time trying to figure out how that was possible, and came to the conclusion that what they thought were currents in the sea were actually smoke from a pipe dream.
We know that centimeter sized fuel fragments that had recently been part of a critical mass were thrown over a mile from the plant – we were told this by an official of the US NRC in a July 28 conference call (though the official transcript is missing a few important words). I wondered at the time whether something might have gone into the Sea of Japan. It is an awfully long way. But the force needed to throw something as small as a centimeter over a mile would have thrown something much more massive a good deal farther. It seems very, very unlikely, but really, alpha particles are not common in nature.

Welcome, GeoHarvey! Thank you for your thoughtful input. It's always nice to hear new voices here.

Well said, GeoHarvey! Can I borrow that from you sometime? It's a doozie!

BAM! You said it.

My guess (I am an engineer, and though I would not consider myself an expert in ballistics, I have worked in the field) is that the fuel fragments left the area where they were in the plant at a velocity well above twice the speed of sound, perhaps a multiple of that speed. They were not stabilized, and had a very bad ballistic shape, so they were probably losing more than half their energy every hundred yards.
A massive object might have gone far enough to "leave the atmosphere," reducing drag. Whether it could have gone as far as the Sea of Japan is a guess. It seems impossible. But then, TEPCO said the whole thing was impossible only a couple years ago.

Reactor 3 blew alpha emitters all over Honshu and beyond and people are finding it everywhere there. Thicker in some spots than others.
Report Comment
#3 was a nuclear mortar, but most of the stuff that went over a few miles wasn't solid, and it didn't stay in the lower atmosphere. If it's that strong and that far away, I'd look for another source.
Keep in mind all those stories about the secretive gathering of isotopes at Fukushima and manually distributed elsewhere…..
Report Comment
1.4 uSv/hr is 20x background, and that is just alpha. That doesn't seem likely to come from nuclear tests. I don't remember seeing readings like this last year so far away from the plant… this kind of accumulation is recent, the past few months at the most.
The radiation deposited last March and April is being dwarfed now by the stuff that has come down since then.
Report Comment
Yes, you're right, Bobby1. The accumulation adds up over time.
And where did I read that the radiation levels/output from certain isotopes actually gets WORSE over time? (i.e. due to the decay chain daughters or something to that effect?)
Report Comment
Though, on the other hand, we probably didn't see such readings from these places last year because either:
a) they weren't testing for these alpha radioisotopes or more likely:
b) they weren't sharing the fact that they were testing nor were they sharing the results of their tests
So it could be from other, more local sources…scary thought that it is.
Report Comment
Kids, yes it's possible, plutonium-241 decaying into more dangerous americium comes to mind.
Fuku Diary has a story, 250 uSv/hr in Namie. That is absolutely nuts. Chernobyl is a Mary Poppins story compared to that.

The will get worse, because the daughters have shorter halflives. But the daughters will nearly never be alpha emitters.

If 3 is gone, I’m no longer sure 4 makes much of a difference.
Professor Koide claimed the following: 1331 assemblies = 5000 X as much cesium 137 as released by Hiroshima (89 terabecquerels) (Footage of the NYC Press Conference May 4th 2012 Cinema Forum Fukushima http://cinemaforumfukushima.org/2012/05/06/archive-footage-of-the-nyc-press-conference-may-4th-2012/)
According to the report linked here (http://www.nirs.org/reactorwatch/accidents/6-1_powerpoint.pdf),
Each spent fuel pool at the reactor buildings contained 3,450 fuel assemblies.
Hence, we can extrapolate that spent fuel pool #3 had 2.592X as much cesium as spent fuel pool 4 (1331 assemblies). So, spent fuel pool #3 could have had 12,960X as much cesium as the Hiroshima bomb, or 1,153,440 terabecquerels of cesium-137.
These figures are really only general estimations and do not address the relative depletion of radiation in the spent fuel pools since they're based on Koide's estimation of the amount of radiation in fuel pool 4, which contained new fuel. So, the figures are useful but only ballpark in nature.
STILL, we are talking huge amounts of fuel that could have been vaporized at 3 (and this doesn't even include the fuel in the reactor core)
moreover…

What has happened to the common spent fuel pool.
According to the report linked here, the common spent fuel pool had 6,291 assemblies in March of 2010. Accordingly, it must have approximately 4.7 X as much Cesium-137 as spent fuel pool #4.
Put otherwise, the common spent fuel pool must have over 23,000X as much cesium-137 as contained in the Hiroshima bomb. It must have 23,000X 89 terabecquerels worth of cesium-137. THERE HAS BEEN LITTLE TO NO MENTION OF THE STATUS OF THE COMMON SPENT FUEL POOL.

Anne I know you often have very good information.
Unit 4 was hit badly, but not as badly as 3.
The structural integrity of 4 was stronger after the disaster because of the size of the blast at 3.
Also, i've found all documentation that unit 3 was the priority even after 4 had its problems
I think it is possible that the problem at 4 was purely from the force of 3's explosion?
Report Comment
majia, There have been pictures posted here of unit #4 intact after the explosions at unit #3. So the damage at unit #4 is separate from unit #3.
There have been posted here differing witness accounts of unit #4. One, at least, has said that there were explosions at #4. Another, at least, said that the walls and roof melted inward presumably from the heat of the uncovered fuel in the dry spent fuel pool.
Then there have been reports of fires. It is possible that all three different kinds of events occurred in March, 2011. The reactor was defective even before it was even installed in unit #4.

The third picture down of #4 looks really horrible and this is a side that is not facing #3 which is to the right.

5.22.2011 – Land at Daiichi had major shift, causing buildings and towers to skew. UPDATE
“UPDATE: More information on the land movements at the power plant has come out. Based on Geospatial data the area where Fukushima Daiichi sits likely moved 220 to 250 centimeters to the east. Or in standard measurements 86-98 inches, 7.16 to 8.16 feet of horizontal movement, The known vertical movement of the land area is 50 centimeters, about 19.68 inches or about 1.64 feet. A shift of about 8 feet horizontal and over a foot and a half drop is significant enough to cause buildings or structures to sit out of proper vertical alignment. That much movement could easily break foundations, connections or damage equipment. Details of the data and calcuations can be found over at Ex-SKF Blog …

Whenever I see the reports of heavy fallout here, there, or everywhere (Europe back in November, etc..)…I seldom take my eye off the emissions from Fukushima Daiichi.
Until proven otherwise I am going to believe that megaplex is the main polluter of radioactive fallout for the entire globe.
Get your calculators out…
TEPCO said they have (had) 1,760 TONS of uranium at Fukushima Daiichi. Page 4 in this PowerPoint:
http://criepi.denken.or.jp/result/event/seminar/2010/issf/pdf/6-1_powerpoint.pdf
So…2,000 pounds to a ton gives us a grand total of:
3.5 million pounds of uranium.
For comparison….Chernobyl had 180 tons (360 thousand pounds) of unenriched uranium (.07% of U-235) versus the enriched uranium fuel for Daiichi which contains 4 times more U-235.
So ten times more nuclear fuel and 4 times more powerful per unit. But wait…we have a MOX fueled Unit 3 that absolutely raises the bar to another level. And it has already blown the coop into the atmosphere.
Unit 4 may also be loaded with MOX fuel, although this has not been verified. In any event…spent fuel always contains plutonium (about 1%) as a waste uranium byproduct.
Emissions (visible at times, invisible other times) are leaving every day from Fukushima Daiichi. With a inventory of fuel that started at 3.5 million pounds of uranium this plant has the ability to deposit huge amounts of airborne and waterborne radiation fallout all across the globe.

Not just rumors…the Russians have admitted they are nuclear waste polluters:
"“In March 1993, after several years of revelations about the dumping of radioactive waste at sea, the Russian government released a White Paper describing some 30 years of the dumping of radioactive waste at sea. The so-called Yablokov report detailed how 18 damaged naval nuclear reactors and two internal reactor screen assemblies were dumped in the seas around the Soviet Union. Sixteen reactors were dumped in the Kara Sea and 2 in the Sea of Japan. One reactor screen assembly was dumped in the Kara Sea and one off Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky in the northern Pacific Ocean."

But no sense in just castigating Russia…all the nuclear powers have had "accidents" and long-lasting toxic poison has been dumped onto Mother earth.
The officials and scientists in charge worldwide are Dr. Frankenstein bastards who should be sent to work at Fukushima. Knowing what they have done they should off themselves as an atonement for their crimes against humanity. But we know they are craven cowards.

Thanks Anne. I kind of knew it was bad, what you, SP and Rodney have revealed, … just makes me feel so hopeless. This planet is toast, were is the justice? Sick, honestly, these humans are just so morally bankrupt. Apes with suits.
Every nuker that is still breathing needs to be sent to fuku until it's cleaned up.. this is just dreadful stuff.. hopelessly dreadful. Life is so close to not be worth living, there is nothing left to loose, the pigs that have brought this onto the planet need severe retribution. The most severe that can be brought against them.

Thanks SP, I think. That's woeful, and I agree wholeheartedly with your take on the evil bastards.
Since fuku, I've learnt the word ecocide. A new word I'm trying to get my head around is futurecide (or there abouts), for the crime against life of the future – in whatever form it maybe.
I've decided that anyone who thinks leaving toxic waste for future generations to clean up after them is morally vacant. Every thought path I've followed on this principle just comes back to zero. I cannot find a justification for poisoning the lives of the 'not born yet'.
Your information has reinforced my view another notch.

You are right. The people who pushed and plied Nuclear Power into being what it is, at this point can only show their integrity by correcting this problem. Even if it is futile like Fukushima, the ones who did this need to tend this. Everyone else has their own lives to try to put back together. The tragedy in Japan was the Tsunami. I never cried harder for strangers in my life. The strong people of Japan could have stood back up after the Tsunami and carried onward. Had Japan either not had the reactors or simply managed them correctly, we wouldn't be in this awful place that no one wants to be. The reactor accidents were 100% preventable.
