Title: Japan: Post-Fukushima radioactivity low, gamma ray radiation more of a concern
Source: AP
Date: Aug 27, 2012
Japanese officials reporting on the aftermath of the Fukushima disaster say that gamma rays from the rubble left by the accident are now a greater concern than radioactive cesium still being emitted from the crippled nuclear plant.A report to an International Atomic Energy Agency meeting presented Monday says that cesium being released from the plant is at approximately 0.01 becquerels per hour [Note: Perhaps terabecquerels?], well below the health-hazard level. Shinichi Kuroki, who presented the report, says the greater challenge is to reduce relatively high gamma ray radiation from the plant debris.

Oh yeah, and you can take dat to da bank! This guy is Deputy General of NISA. Trying to muddy the waters. As if cesium isn't important. Then the story neglects to state the units of radiation correctly. Not a serious comment.

"Japanese officials report concerns about gamma rays being emitted from Fukushima plant debris"
How concerned can they possibly be..when they are tossing it into the ocean and trucking it all over Japan for supposed disposal?
Concerned ..that's a laugh.

Source of this news? AP, one of the wolrd biggest pro-nuclear mass media with Agence France Press. It is always protraying the Fukushima nuclear disaster as not affecting anyone's health in any way. One of the world largest brain washing media agency. Our local large newspaper often and regularly publish their rubish news about Fukushima that are full of lies about the safety concerns. Their articles about Fukushima always include for last sentence that "no one died because of Fukushima", that the "reactor problems were cause by the tsunami" and not the earthquake or that "human health is relatively not affected" by radiation.
These press are owned by corporate magma for whom the smell of money is all that counts and people need to die for it.

"These press are owned by corporate magma for whom the smell of money is all that counts and people need to die for it."
good, then we can say without a doubt that SOMEONE died because of Fukushima.
I don't think they have a sense of humor though (or ethics).

So, gamma radiation from Fukushima plant debris is the big worry? That's good news, folks! Fukushima I nuclear plant is many, many kilometres from where I live, and I didn't see any suspicious chunks of debris fall out of the sky and land on my lawn last year.
Now I can happily enjoy my cod-fish steak, then I will sleep well and wake up refreshed in the morning. Then it's time for a nice tuna sandwich. Yummy!

re: "… gamma rays from the rubble left by the accident are now a greater concern than radioactive cesium still being emitted from the crippled nuclear plant."
Right. It's not as if cesium emits any gamma rays or anything like that … These are two totally separate phenomena.
Report Comment
Which is closer to correct?
A. .01 bq/hr
[Perhaps terabecquerels?]
(does Perhaps mean they don't know?)
or
B. 10,000,000.00 bq/hr
"According to calculations by Tokyo Electric Power Co., the operator of the Fukushima No. 1 plant, a total of about 10 MILLION becquerels per hour of radioactive cesium was being emitted from the No. 1 to No. 3 reactors as of June."
"The most radiation is being emitted from the No. 2 reactor, which is releasing 8 million becquerels an hour."

WTF Cesium emits gamma radiation-so they are not concerned with the cesium, but they are concerned with with the gamma radiation the cesium produces? I worry about these peoples mental health. Or is there some hidden agenda here? Maybe they are getting ready to admit there is a ton of Co60 out there also that they have been failing to report. Please can we get some adults to run this thing.

Oh, but Tepkill is supposedly after 17 months close to adding a water filter at Fukushambles for the taboo isotope: Strontium-90. Believe it when you see it.
They haven't filtered any Strontium-90 yet nor mentioned any levels of Strontium-90. The Bone Seeker killer Strontium-90 is a radioactive isotope and produces unimaginable pain from bone cancer and myeloma. Your body mistakes ingested Strontium-90 for calcium and deposits it in bone marrow.
Cesium will kill you quicker, but Strontium-90 gives you the long slow pain-wracked journey to death. You'll be asking for a ticket to an Oregon death clinic or a handful of pain pills to end it when you get bone cancer from radioactive fallout. Goat milk is especially concentrated with Strontium-90 after grazing on fallout pastures.
BTW…speaking of goats and leukemia….say farewall to a legendary nuclear protester. She was not a human, but a goat named Katie in Connecticut. She died two weeks ago from bone cancer and myeloma. It is believed her illnesses derived from her grazing near Millstone Nuclear Power Plant. RIP Katie!
