What follows is a summary of a series blog posts about mysterious radioactive black materials found in and around Minami-Soma City, Fukushima Prefecture, about 25km from the plant.
Black materials looking like sand or powder were found in the Haramachi-ku area of Minami-Soma City.
A similar substance was also found in nearby Soma City.
The materials can reportedly be found many places in Minami-Soma city and Soma city areas.
Here are several recent measurements:
Jan. 27: Measured values in Haramachi-ku using the Inspector +
- 901 cpm: gamma ray only, with WT Plate, 1cm above GND
- 13,380 cpm: gamma + beta + alpha, without WTP, 1cm above GND
- 10,330 cpm: gamma + beta + alpha, with XEROX paper, 1cm above GND
This means that XEROX paper cuts off 3,050 cpm alpha-ray, so the quite strong alpha-ray is radiated from the materials.
Feb. 4: The materials could not be found at Fukushima City, 60km from the plant. Only gamma-ray were strong.
Feb. 6: Normal sand in the area mainly contains Cs134 and Cs137
- Gamma-ray: 959 cpm
- Gamma + beta + alpha: 2,146 cpm
Feb. 6: Black material in sand
- gamma-ray: 3,274 cpm
- gamma + beta + alpha: 18,370 cpm
Radiation of the black materials were very strong when compared to the normal-colored sand. The materials have unbelievable beta + alpha.
Feb. 9: Piece of paper cuts shields 7,230 cpm
- gamma + beta + alpha: 31,680 cpm, without the paper
- gamma + beta + alpha: 24,450 cpm, with the paper
TERRA MKS-05 measures only gamma and beta-ray, XEROX paper did not make much difference
- 11.53 micro S/h: gamma-ray only, without paper
- 17.56 micro S/h: gamma + beta, without paper
- 16.98 micro S/h: gamma + beta, with paper
Feb. 11: Latest measurement of the black materials
95.40 micro S/h: gamma + beta + alpha

Solar is cheap, safe, clean, no evacuation zone.
No alpha or beta, no gamma, no x-ray

That just says all that needs to be said, stock.
Amen!!!

Hi stock@hawaii.rr.com
That would be just to easy and not as profitable.
NO MORE NUCLEAR POWER

End of the ultilites companies if everyone installs a solar panel of their own. Lets end them before they end us all with nuclear.

Wonder if it’s buried ash and soot from all their burning.
Report Comment
yes, might be soot from all that idiotic burning of radioactive trash. (as if that gets rid of it. what a joke.)

Is this what the mystery radioactive black substance is?
Physicist Marie Curie and her husband detected radioactivity in a tarry black substance
called pitchblende.
They named this element
“radium.”

Radium:
Radium is an almost pure-white alkaline earth metal, but it readily oxidizes on exposure to air, becoming black in color.

Good Night Sister Whoopie!
Rest well, have peace and DREAM of better days, eh?

Hi Whoopie
Thank you, but I don't know if that is it?
Sleep tight Whoopie.

I got black goo in late April in Northern Cali. It was tar like, only slightly sticky. It killed my tomato plants.
Report Comment
Actually,…upon further reflection,….I remember now the black stuff being slimy, not sticky. It draped onto all the limbs of the tomato plants somewhat like moss or black seaweed. It burned the Holy hell out of the leaves too! Very fast destruction,….then lingering, slow, long death. Oh JOY!

Radioactive buckyballs contaminated with U238? This is the thing. Have you ever driven down a snowy stretch of hwy with the radio blasting going 70 mph? You see the first car in the ditch, you put out your smoke. You see the second car in the ditch, you turn off the radio and slow down to 60. You see the third car in the ditch, you slow down to 50. With all the warning signs, why does Tepco and the mainstream media choose to speed up to 100 mph? No rational human being would have set themselves up for such a fall. Corporations, media, and the governments are so fixated on the stock market that it is inevitable that the three will be forced to eat crow in front of the whole world.

Whatever happened to those folk in the states and their cars that were covered in that black crap that fell from the sky? One lady said she was going to send it off to a lab for analysis!

They all got jobs with Homer Simpson at the plant and lived happily ever after

A strong alpha emitter could mean plutonium. Radium is naturally occurring and whatever Marie Curie found way back when has nothing to do with living 25km from Fukushima, one of the largest nuclear plants in the world fueled with recycled plutonium from A-bombs and melted down….er excuse me melted through. Still looking for the editorial in the Vancouver Sun, Hydrogen explosion or nuclear explosions. who cares it was an efficient way to distribute plutonium dust. Gotta get me one of those fancy detectors that read alpha.
