Possible existence of neutron ray in reactor, Fukushima Diary, Jan. 6, 2012:
- [Tepco's] monthly report of December
- Measured 1.7E-07 Bq/cm3 of Sb-125
- Sample taken 9:29a-9:59a, 12/6/2011
- From the air above the sea, 2~3km offshore.
- Sb-125 is made when Sn, a material of zircaloy fuel cladding, is hit by neutron ray from the fuel
- Sb-125 is constantly reported on the past monthly reports too.

Howdy all,
Ya know, not to complain about this excellent reporting, but seeing all these reports that are historic at best, only confirm what we all have redundantly and repeatedly said here.
It is bad. They are not going to tell us how bad it is, and the story is a never ending one that is actually slowly slipping into the annals of hidden history. A history this writer had no interest in.
What we want to see is, what is being done now? What is actually happening now there in fukushima, and how much radiation contamination is this thing really spewing out into the environment TODAY? Which way is the weather taking this radioactive fallout?
WHAT ARE THE PEOPLE OF JAPAN DOING FOR THEMSELVES?
WHEN WILL THEY EVACUATE TOKYO?
WHAT ARE THEY DOING TO PREVENT THE POOL AT #4 FROM SPILLING OUT AND DOING THE MOST FEARED DAMAGE?
WHAT ARE THE REAL READINGS IN THE AREA AND LOCAL SURROUNDINGS?
WHAT ARE THE REPORTS FROM THE WEST COAST SHOWING IN THE FLOTSAM AND WATERS OFF THE WEST COAST?
Soon, this is coming to our shores and we will see the story shift from japan to the west coast.
Got your counter yet?

Well, let see the jet stream tells us where the radiation is spewing, we know they are working on Reactor 4 SPF see web cam discussion as Nuc… has taken an excellent video. and as far as evacuating Tokyo I think most have left but the government will not tell people to evacuate, JMHO The readings are readily available just look for Areva and Tepco reports. The people of Japan are doing the best they can with the resources available.and yes I have my counter. I think that about covers my analysis which is simplistic but realistic? BTW excuse my spelling, etc as I’m having trouble seeing.

James, please see my post on monitoring. San Francisco, Utah, and Indiana CPM levels have been elevated for past 24+ hours (at least since I’ve been checking). S.F. CPM’s have been all the way up to 63 so far, today. Have NEVER seen it this high — the max I ever saw before was 43. Something is passing over our heads in waves.

I think it would coincide with no specific date, but with an ongoing, increasing disaster permeating everywhere…

Radiation increase West Coast USA/California matches with the release of radtiation on Jan 1st and 2nd from Fukushima. Something happened during that timeframe-and its also occuring again. Waves. It takes about three days to make it to USA..sometimes longer..but your current dose is not from early December I would not think, unless its circling the globe for a second time!

Note Cesium-134 is an activation product.
“Almost no Cs-134 is formed by nuclear fission (because xenon-134 is stable). The 134Cs is formed by the neutron activation of the stable 133Cs which is formed by the decay of isotopes in the isobar (A = 133). so in a momentary criticality by the time that the neutron flux becomes zero too little time will have passed for any 133Cs to be present. While in a power reactor plenty of time exists for the decay of the isotopes in the isobar to form 133Cs, the 133Cs thus formed can then be activated to form 134Cs only if the time between the start and the end of the criticality is long.”

Report Comment
@Bobby1 ..It seems another neutron activation product is S35 (Sulphur 35)
This new report might indicate if it is correct that sea water is not being used at present.
“When the seawater hit the reactor, the leaking neutrons pinged off a proton from the chlorine in the liquid, transforming it into 35S, a radioactive isotope of sulfur. Vaporizing from the heat, it was then vented, and formed sulfur dioxide and sulfate particles, and was blown across the ocean to San Diego, where it was detected by UCSD’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography.
The researchers there were able to use some pretty hefty mathematics to figure out just how much energy was leaking. “You know how much seawater they used, how far neutrons will penetrate into the seawater and the size of the chloride ion. From that you can calculate how many neutrons must have reacted with chlorine to make radioactive sulfur,”

Reading the posts here as things get worse will not change anything. We need to act as a collective to create a mass awareness change in the world wide community on the dangers of nuclear, plus seriousness of the Fukushima disaster before anything will change.
I have created a handout which I email, or give to people when I go on my morning walk, plus I put a few in some local letterboxes each time.
You don’t need to explain anything just distribute it.

Hi vital1. That’s a nice piece of work.
Some small suggestions:
1. The map leaves out my part of the world. Of course I selfishly hope that’s because there is no radiation here, but it might be useful to include the whole world because people everywhere are affected, even if indirectly, and people anywhere might be moved by your flyer to take some kind of useful action.
2. I understand why you said “Mums and Dads” in your headline, but the effect might be to give childless people an excuse to ignore your message. I’m thinking especially of young potentially keen activist types – the OWS profile, if you will.
3. In your point #4, “Pacific Ocean” should be capitalized, the subject “parts” (plural) should match the number of the verb “have” rather than “has”, and the phrase “Western and central” should use the same case for both words, probably lower case “western and central”.
4. In your point #5, “summery” should be “summary”, and the phrase “overall summary” would generally be considered redundant – a summary is “overall” by its nature. “Summary” is also spelled incorrectly again at the very end of the flyer.
5. There are some nuisance issues for you to check with singular/plural and possessive versions of the word “family”. For instance, plural possessive should be “our families’ well-being”, single possessive should be “my family’s well-being”. In general, there should be no apostrophe unless it is possessive.
6. The phrase “food, and goods” doesn’t need the comma, nor does the phrase “health, and safety” a little farther on.
7. The sentence “… politicians … puppets … big money…” is risky in my opinion, as it gives people an excuse to ignore your message. It might be more effective to let them slowly discover those horrible things as they start to investigate the issues. Your call, of course.
That’s all I can spot on a quick reading – I hope it’s helpful, and I’m really glad to see…

Aigeezer,
Here is my grammatically corrected reply!
I think faster than I type.
Thanks for taking the time to find those grammatical errors. Two other people have already proofed it. Amazing how things are missed.
Have uploaded the pdf with the corrections.
The map is for Caesium-137 fallout only up to June 2011. I used this map because it shows the vast area outside Japan that is also significantly contaminated with fallout. Most people think it is just confined to Japan. A picture is worth a thousand words. Sorry the map didn’t include the rest of the world.
I feel with this heading, most people will take notice, as it is aimed at protecting the next generation, and well being of families. I realise no heading is perfect.

@ James Tekton
if the info you are wanting to see were available, this would be the place to find it – right? The problem is not with enenews – the problem is the information blackout. Those who have the info are on strict orders to sit on it.
Evacuating Tokyo is logistically impossible.
Having a geiger counter is interesting I am sure. But what does it do for ya, practically speaking? Also as I understand it, the available geiger counters do not indicate the presence of all of the radionuclides – like plutonium. ( Please correct me if I am wrong here.)
There is nothing they can do about #4 fuel pool but ‘wait and see’. If it’s too hot to get close to, then whadda ya gonna do?
Correct me if I am wrong on any of this. I am no ‘rocket scientist.’ But that is what you don’t gotta be, to get a pretty good basic grasp of the situation.

@ James Tekton..Thanks!!….And don’t forget some Lead and a copper pipe to wrap it around for whatever detector you use…. (Personally i think there should be one food testing lab for every 1 kilometre radius or family.) Nothing fancy….a Gamma spectrometer will do.
It is possible to build for testing CS137 for under 1000$ using a basic scintillation spectrometry lab with the free software from Au.
If the geiger or scintillation detector does not have somewhere quiet to listen without all the background, the sensitivity is degraded for testing weak sources.
Here is a picture of an easy to build Lead shield on one of the groups where quite a few of us are learning how to detect and identify basic stuff like Cesium 137 134, americium and other gamma emitters.

Of course #3 is spewing bad stuff. It’s been burning out of control for weeks now.
I know some of you haven’t seen it, and don’t believe me, but it’s true, and this is just another bit of proof.
I appreciate every bit that some of you are doing – the flyer is great, but you cannot reach enough people fast enough.
We need something to tip the scales in our favor – that something is nuckelchen’s video he made this morning showing the workers running for their lives as reactor 4 belches radiation
If we could get that video to go viral it would be game-over for nukes.. To see poor workers brave enough to try an assault on a boiling nuclear disaster, then running for their lives as the thing goes critical on them – seeing them huddle in the corner.
That’s the terror of a melted down nuke plant.

@James2….I think of water on a very hot surface evaporating away, leaving scale I have been saying for some time the sea water added to the pools in the absence of fresh water may/is be forming an insulating scale around remaining Reactor/fuel pool/spent rods. Even this may only be too simplistic, but it remains my view that the condition of the cladding will deteriorate relentlessly.

Yes, in the NHK report and video posted here there was a thinly veiled reference to #3 burning out of control. They said it was “so hot” no one is able to approach the reactor to place a gas sensor there. Which means it must be hotter than blazes.

I think his flyer is great and it is very to the point without relying on any outlandish views or exaggerated figures without data. It doesn’t talk down to people and gives a simple overview of what is going on along with the suggestion to do your own research. This isn’t an attack on you, just stating my opinion.
On topic: A couple questions. Would the fuel ever stop fissioning even if it was cooled with seawater? Say it is in a blob, would the inside of the blobski be sufficiently cooled at the “shell” of the blob to stop fission completely?
Second question: Is there such a thing as neutron imaging? I know we have gamma imaging, so if such a technology exists to use neutrons for imaging could we locate the corium by such means? Can we use gamma imaging to locate it? At least, find the concentration of it.

Seawater might keep the fuel fissioning forever.:
“Sodium as a coolant
“An advantage of liquid metal coolants is high heat capacity which provides thermal inertia against overheating.[1] Water is difficult to use as a coolant for a fast reactor because water acts as a neutron moderator that slows the fast neutrons into thermal neutrons. While it may be possible to use supercritical water as a coolant in a fast reactor, this would require a very high pressure. In contrast, sodium atoms are much heavier than both the oxygen and hydrogen atoms found in water, and therefore the neutrons lose less energy in collisions with sodium atoms. Sodium also need not be pressurized since its boiling point is much higher than the reactor’s operating temperature, and sodium does not corrode steel reactor parts.[1] A disadvantage of sodium is its chemical reactivity, which requires special precautions to prevent and suppress fires. If sodium comes into contact with water it explodes, and it burns when in contact with air. This was the case at the Monju Nuclear Power Plant in a 1995 accident. In addition, neutrons cause it to become radioactive; however, activated sodium has a half-life of only 15 hours.[1]”

Two explosions, plus fires.
Check out the video and see if you can find either a spent fuel pool or a reactor in this building, which has the top floors completely missing, unlike the other buildings.
Personally, I think they are pretending that something is still there, when it blew up long ago..
There is no cooling going on with this building. No water is being poured on it. Why not?

Since the Fukushima tragedy took place there are many types of known and unknown radiations have been detected. Better if we comprehensive preparation against all sort of radiation.
I recently came across these atmpospheric simulations, produced an American independent organization, that indicate TEPCO vastly under-reported radionuclide emissions from the Fukushima Plant.
