You know that thirty one nuclides had been emitted from the nuclear plants.
Now, they are starting to transform into other substances, such as tellurium has transformed into iodine, which is why iodine is observed.
At 10:15 in
This data shows what kinds of radionuclides were emitted at first. As time went by, they started to change into different nuclides.

This is from Urban Dictionary, it is my own creation HILARIOUS methinks.
Troll Jousting
Troll Jousting is the act of retorting comments on blogs that have been placed by trolls, or paid commentators who place comments to support a particular vested interest. The Troll Jouster places comments that show the falseness of the Troll
Wow nice Troll Jousting dude, you really bitch slapped that Troll.
Yeah, thanks eh brah! I couldn't believe that Pro Nuke Troll was actually saying that radiation can be beneficial to your health. I had to slap 'em back in case some innocent bystander saw that Troll comment and believed it.
Well, good work dude, keep up the Troll jousting on that blog, and remember, there are NO innocent bystanders.

Te-130 beta-decays with a half-life of *25 minutes* to I-131?
"Most I-131 production is from nuclear reactor neutron-irradiation of a natural tellurium target. Irradiation of natural tellurium produces almost entirely I-131 as the only radionuclide with a half-life longer than hours, since most lighter isotopes of tellurium become heavier stable isotopes, or else stable iodine or xenon. However, the heaviest naturally-occurring tellurium nuclide, Te-130 (34% of natural Te) absorbs a neutron to become tellurium-131, which beta-decays with a half-life of 25 minutes, to I-131."

Iodine -131 This is something unexpected or is this a process which has occurred at other nuclear accident sites (TMI, Chernobyl)? If so do nuclear emergency plans need to be changed? Assumptions have been made Iodine-131 is only produced in the process of active nuclear events, has a 1/2 life of 8 days-so its a problem but not like other radioactive products which exist for a long period of time (terrible issue). Have to go look at some early statements from government. If true I-131 is from decay of another fallout product it changes a lot of assumptions for safety. Nuclear accidents just keep giving and giving….

A halflife of 25 min would disprove what is being asserted here…this stuff has to be "fresh"

That is exactly what I was thinking. Could the corium hit the water table and not explode, just keep leaking/moving/irradiating all underground water? Or is this from either "fresh" Te-130 or "fresh" I-131? That people are ingesting and getting rid of en masse? In either case, it seems to me this story re-demonstrates and re-evidences the ongoing fission/s that is/are occurring somewhere….
Guess I'm going to have to get used to that for a few years of my lifetime to come….

"Most I-131 production is from nuclear reactor neutron-irradiation of a natural tellurium target."
That's why you need neutrons to get I-131 from the tellurium that comes from melting nuclear fuel, and to get neutrons you need criticality.
Gunma, Kanagawa, and Shizuoka prefectures all have I-131 in their sewage sludge in the most recent measurements.

Foods with excessive radiation under new rule found in 8 prefectures
TOKYO (Kyodo) — Food items containing levels of radioactive cesium exceeding a new limit, to be enforced from Sunday, have been found in 421 instances in eight prefectures since January this year, a survey by the health ministry showed Saturday.
The food items with levels exceeding 100 becquerels per kilogram of cesium were found in Fukushima, Iwate, Miyagi, Yamagata, Ibaraki, Tochigi, Gunma and Chiba prefectures in the survey conducted through March 21, according to the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare.
Of the 421 cases, about 80 percent involved seafood and river fishes, and the remainder involved shiitake mushrooms and the meat of wild animals such as boars and birds.

Iodine-131
Although drinking water levels of iodine-131 pose no risk to public health in Philadelphia, PWD continually monitors and investigates challenges to our water quality.

Philadelphia has had elevated levels of iodine-131 in its drinking water for 10 years now. People drink this stuff every day. Perfectly safe, huh?
