TEPCO concealed radiation data before explosion at No. 3 reactor, Asahi, May 14, 2011:
Tokyo Electric Power Co. concealed data showing spikes in radiation levels at the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant in March, one day before a hydrogen explosion injured seven workers.
The Asahi Shimbun obtained a 100-page internal TEPCO report containing minute-to-minute data on radiation levels at the plant as well as pressure and water levels inside the No. 3 reactor from March 11 to April 30.
The data has never been released by the company that operates the stricken plant. [...]
Both levels were well above the upper limit of 250 millisieverts for an entire year under the plant’s safety standards for workers. But the workers who were trying to bring the situation under control at the plant were not informed of the levels. [...]
Seven TEPCO workers were injured in the blast. [...]
Keiji Miyazaki, professor emeritus of nuclear reactor engineering at Osaka University, criticized TEPCO’s policy. [...] Miyazaki said TEPCO’s decision to conceal the data must be scrutinized.
Failure to release radiation data in the early stages of the crisis is said to have delayed the evacuations of communities near the plant.

The nuclear industry wants us, desperately, to believe that nuclear energy is the safest energy source ever.
“Reactor containment will never leak.”
Wrong. Leaking from 3 reactors right now.
“Dangerous levels of radiation won’t reach USA.”
Wrong. Dont eat the seaweed, drink the WA and HI milk, or eat the organic CA strawberries, etc.
“Low to moderate levels of radiation is harmless, in fact recent studies released after March 11 have shown they benefit health.”
Wrong. Many true scientists say that any level of radiation is harmful. I’ll go out on a theoretical/hypothetical limb and say we used to (biblically at least) live hundreds of years until the flood which removed our protective “firmament” thus no longer blocking solar and cosmic radiation…then the breaking of the world, Pan Continental Breaking, released all kinds of debris and dust and probably radioactive stuff into the world…life spans went down to their current levels then.
“We have back ups for the backups–0.0% chance of a problem when power outages occur.”
Wrong. Something of the number of 30+ occurrences in the US alone in the last year show that backup generators were not operational, not able to function correctly if power did go out to the coolant system (earlier enenews comment posting with article link).
“We will respond quickly, effectively, and keep the public and government informed completely.”
Wrong. WRONG. WRONG!!!

What new nuclear? I think Diablo Canyon in California was one of the last plants built in the U.S. It cost so much more than originally predicted that the industry lost the taste for building more. It so old already that they’re at the point of hearings relating to extending the license beyond the original design lifetime.
The plant has had some recent issues, but not releases. Unit 2 is currently shut down and no doubt getting a close looking over.
The U.S. does have some older plants that are of less trusted design. I believe Browns’ Ferry uses the same GE Mark I design as units 1 and 2 in Japan. The UCS highlighted some disturbing things there. People are studying what has happened in Japan. How much that knowledge reduces risks elsewhere remains to be seen.
People can suffer actual illness if fear and anxiety get too great. Some behavioral changes, like avoiding the low-exposure portions of Japan, also damage economies and slow helping people hit by the disaster.
In light of that, expect officials to try to calm people. It isn’t all lying, it’s their job. Most people don’t understand technical details well. But even so, providing too little detail can backfire, and to some extent has, because there are many that have as much fear now as in late March, even though levels have fallen dramatically.
Responses and policy changes must be well thought out and implemented, not hasty panicked actions. We must be informed and fully understand what’s wrong and the causes so we may make the optimal choices.

Nice to know they care about peoples mental health-but not enough to refrain from putting the technology of certain death in close proximity to them….

If I can find the find I’ll post it. There reverse has been found too. After three mile island there were a number of people where they’d concluded the problems were induced by the anxiety, but it was in fact extreme radiation exposure (not the long term damage that most here would be possibly wondering about, but the really high doses like plant workers would get if they went in the wrong spot for too long)
I’d posted under another article here how to search using the Google Site: command to find PDFs on the same site that had the extensive study on chernobyl and others (many but all in another language), and that’s where this report on the victims from near 3 mile island came from.
I don’t expect to see any significant radiation from Japan around my house, but there are so many other sources. My grandfaters’ old wristwatch with the glowing hands, some old ham radio tubes with thorium in the filaments, and the guy that lived out back like to take things apart and tore into an old smoke detector and removed the shielding inside. The Americium in those is what Plutonium decays into, but because it decays faster it throw off more alpha rays. People all over are probably being irradiated from things the kids dug into. Even the old mantles for the camping lantern have thorium in them.
Damn… os just realized I have an old Hewlett Packard Frequency Standard (Atomic Clock) and that’s got cesium in it. The thing counts the vibrations of the electrons of cesium when hit by microwaves or something. I think it cost as much a house in 1970. Old electronic junk now (its easier for people to use atomic clocks in the sky with GPS receivers), but never one to pass up some cool old electronic gadget at the scrap dealer. I bet he’s got even more radioactive stuff up there than the junk around my house… He buys stuff from all over at auction mostly to salvage metals out of, but many like to come browse through the junk and rescue things. Being in the same county as the Diablo Canyon plant, he’s had some stuff from there. He had this giant thing that it looked like you could drive a car under (like at car wash) with a big robotic arm. Damn, that might have been an old unit for moving fuel rods. I hope they gave that thing a good bath before they sold it to him. He once had some old radiation warning sirens too. I guess they got newer ones that used a more advanced digital signal. I think the old ones probably could have been set off by someone playing a prank with a tweaked CB or shortwave set. Probably would have caused a heart attack or two. It’s bad enough to hear the warning sirens when they’ve set out a postcard saying they are testing them. Reminds me of when I was really young in school and they made us practice hiding under our desks for when the Russians decided to push the button.
Duck and cover kids, you’ll be safe. Yeah right. Damn cold war… and all that time I was getting radiation from the tests in Nevada. Maybe I should get a good radiation detector and see if the baby teeth of mine that my mom saved show anything from the Strontium 90. Not much of a cold war now. Well unless we count Iran and North Korea. Playing with plutonium. I doubt they’re experts either. What could possibly go wrong?
I’ve got a couple of those classic yellow civil defense meters, but they’re more for checking really really strong radiation… like seeing if one can briefly peek outside, after bomb fallout without burning your face… really… one of the booklets says to tie the sensor wand to a stick and poke it outside without exposing your hands. Yikes. One has a chunk of uranium ore or something on the side to test itself with. Damn… that’s another radiation source in the house.
We’re surrounded by it and now we’ve got all that fallout from Japan. Although it slowed down some, that damn MOX fuel unit 3 may think its a yellowstone geyser anytime if that hotter fuel melts down and goes deeper than unit 1′s poop did. Hit all that water in the ground and then explosive steam and plutonium up in the air for the wind to take on a trip. Will it blow today? In 10 years after a quake shakes the fuel around packing it in just enough to go critical?
Meanwhile I suppose I should move away from the power plant here. Right on a fault. And they say it is ready for a tsunami, but when the first went online a mere winter storm did millions in damage to the breakwater wall that was supposed to protect the water intake.
We’ve got out own TEPCOs right here in the U.S. Even far from the plant isn’t safe. What place could be? But at least I might still have a house after something. This town would have to be buried if Diablo starts vomiting.
Maybe a good detector would help me pick a neighborhood that wasn’t a hot spot from all those Nevada tests or the last accident? No other way to know here the strongest rains fell at the wrong time. Got enough radiation already, sure don’t want much more.
Damn, it’s starting to rain outside now. The air always seems cleaner after rain. But that means what was in it came down. I guess if I grow any sunflowers this year, I’d better have a good counter to check them. The plants apparent draw cesium from the soil because it’s absorbed like some other mineral, then it gets concentrated in the plant. They apparently used them after chernobyl to try and suck up some of the cesium. I guess if I get some planting soil made from the recycled green waste, I ought to check readings on that too. Never know who grew what and if the were in a hotter spot.
Well pray for us in California, and we’ll pray for you all too. Whether it came down in late March or is waiting in the next storm, it’s like little invisible demons just waiting to dance in our bones.
The countries that signed the test ban treat monitor all over. I think we can trust them to really have good honest readings. At least they aren’t funded by power plants or something. All those graphs. Some come down, but we’ll never see that radiation flat line to zero.

Diablo seems to be having problems with JELLY FISH CLOGGING the cooling intake pipes from the Pacific.The Jellys’ like the warm return water. Breeding quite well.

I think the P.G.& E. managers might have some jellyfish for brains too. That is the same utility that managed to blow up a neighbor in San Bruno with high pressure in the gas pipe. Makes a guy have a lot of confidence in them running the nuke plant.
Sure P.G.& E. did an awful job keeping an eye on the pipes some crappy welds, and didn’t even know what kind the blown section was, but that had survived over 50 years and through earthquakes. The very same kinda electronics and software that controls pressure in pipelines controls things like cooling pumps too. They already messed one up… What could possibly go wrong with the other? It’s not some some theoretical problem; they’ve already been bitten by it and killed people.
Damn I hate having trouble sleeping at night.
P.G.& E. got sued for millions way back when. Seems their harmless cooling system cooked all the abalone nearby. When we get those occasional reports of massive deaths or sea lions or other things along the California coast, kinda makes one wonder if some killer bacteria is growing from the warmer water coming out of Diablo. Maybe some new kind helped by a little radiation?
That stuff in the sea soaks up the iodine.
If the cooling system gets clogged by a few jellyfish, what’s gonna happen when a tsunami stirs up all the stuff on the ocean floor and rips loose the seaweed?
Maybe by the time the winter storms arrive, the cooling system will be choking on bits of the Japanese houses washed away and headed here. Bones of the dead, swept from near one power plant, only to clog the cooling system of another 5,000 miles away. Oh the irony.

Although an awful thing, with the shortage of detectors and all, some screw-ups seem almost inevitable. I could forgive for that, but ignoring the reports they’d already seen telling them of the danger of a bigger tsunami then doing nothing is unforgivable.

They obviously didn’t believe their Geiger counters like they now do not trust their water level gauges.

The penalty for this deception should be that these corrupt people should be the ones working at Fukushima.

That blog link adds considerable information at the bottom that is very inflammatory and has nothing to do with the original heading or article. Listing a Chernobyl photographer who died from exposure levels many hundreds or thousands of times higher under “Facts About Fukushima” is just plain bad blogging (I won’t call it journalism). Milk in Hawaii, high levels in other buildings, what’s 150 km away, it’s all an attempt to inflame by the blogger.
And heat/moisture damaged instruments inside the plant has nothing to do with radiation monitors carried around by the workers or job done protecting them. Those sorts of comments here are just as inflammatory as the blog.
A worker dose of 1.2 mSv is not that high. At least they did get screened and did everything they could after the fact to decontaminate. No numbers were given for any residual. That exposure is very small compared to what many workers expect to see, but the subcontractor will still have hell to pay if it was something proper procedure would avoid. They’ve no doubt violated regulations and I’d think contract terms as well. There WILL be scrutiny. Of course it helps that the media does its part to inform people. Tepco has made mistakes, but this one wasn’t them.
Many of the problems, like the two workers who got much higher doses stepping in water early on, are the result of human errors, and dealing with problems that were beyond what went into the training and manuals. The scope of what happened was way beyond what anyone had planned for.
The guy responsible for monitoring the exposure of the two “hot foot” workers was tearful when interviewed. He’d surveyed the area beforehand. The workers went in and didn’t think anything of water that wasn’t there before, assuming it was from the tsunami. They did get an alarm warning them, but the exposure was rapid since they were standing in it. There was no deliberate attempt to cut-corners or neglect them. Some human errors happen. We can hope to learn from them and see training improved as a result, but forgive people for being human. Those guys deserve a lot of credit for even showing up to work. Not everyone would.
Plutonium being outside in soil doesn’t have anything to do with the workers who got high exposure either. Obviously there’s all kinds of crap all over the place. It’s but a small part of it. They’ve tried to remove debris, spray coatings to keep dust down, but it is a heavily contaminated environment and everyone that. They mapped out levels to help manage exposure and know what to focus on removing.

Hi Anne, no personal attacks, no agenda, no connections to an related industry or agency, no perfection obsession, BUT I do try to exercise critical thinking and don’t hesitate to call B.S. when I see it.
I try to be calm, restrained, polite, open-minded and logical, but it’s hard when the %$#& starts flying at me. There’s plenty of strong science to show the real dangers and issues with nuclear power. Casting aside an article with very misleading spin, or saying the good data shows falling levels isn’t an agenda it’s reality. It doesn’t say there’s no other danger here or on the way or that anything is over. It’s sickening how some (one really) here say I’m saying things I’m not. Sheeple? One Cow One Farmer? Propaganda? MSM? Uninformed? Shill? False Flag? Nuke employee? Saying I don’t care about the water when I point out a specific corrupt U.S. regulator? I’m the one that has experienced the personal attacks here, and repeatedly. Shame on the people that stoop to that instead of presenting the vast legitimate information that supports their views. Even if some disagree, everything has pros and cons all can be right. Don’t try to stick everything in a box, label it, and think it’s that simple. (that’s why I suggested the mental exercise of pretending you ran countries… it forces thinking about the complexity and how it differs from one country to the next) If everyone sees and understands honest truthful information, then we call all process that and weigh the facts according to what matters to us. No one should be censored. We all want humanity to be healthy and for the beauty of the Earth to last.
I believe we aren’t magically born smart, and it isn’t all about just remembering things either. Working to develop our thinking helps just like exercising our muscles. It is with no disrespect that I encourage everyone to consider learning about logical fallacies to avoid. Critical thinking takes effort and is on going, I have to work at it too.
Here’s a little info worth studying to help spot flawed logic in hopes of more easily making valid conclusions to support the important choices we all make in our lives:

Ideally everyone should be willing to work a bit to learn the truth, avoid logical potholes, and as a result make more credible and honest choices and statements about our concerns.

I never saw the ads, don’t know the author or the site, and just gave my honest reaction. He could have done MUCH better.
I found it deeply disturbing to see an article about a very mild 1.5 mSv exposure being tied in with a death where the dose was not disclosed (perhaps over 1000 times as much). To someone that didn’t know 1.5 mSv was a very mild dose for a radiation worker, the implication was that the worker had been put at similar risk. That’s extremely misleading, and I’d bet the original author would agree.
The copied story and the brief tale of the photographer were both interesting items. It could have made a good and balanced piece, perhaps made into a story about the need for people to be informed so they make choices which reduce radiation exposure. But there was no focused theme, and what did tie in went horribly wrong.
I don’t care whether people write to support what they believe in, try to make a living helped by web ads, maybe sell some related stuff too. But please, use honest and balanced things which are widely available to support your views. Don’t let fear mongering harm Japans’ recovery. They’ve suffered too much. It’s bad enough that the major media throw biased fluff at us because of their financial ties. The net should be a way for the rest of us to try an salvage the world from all that. Work for a cleaner planet, better media, a democracy that works because people are informed and care, fight corruption.
In the 60′s when people that cared about the environment, wars and other issues were better heard in the media and through music, there was a popular phrase:
“If you’re not part of the solution you’re part of the problem” The choice is ours.

If that plant in Saint Charles got through Katrina and the flooding from the river then, it can likely handle this.
Taking a closer look at plant safety is happening worldwide. The NRC seems to be doing a better job than agencies in japan (they’re merging a couple due to confusion). Although I think the nuclear industry may have too much influence over the media, the NRC seems to be doing it’s best to insure safety. I wish that our food and oil/gas drilling/refining/distribution operations were as well regulated. I do think the NRC might learn a thing or two from examining things like gas pipeline explosions under control of the same utilities that operate power plants. It would be revealing both of the corporate/management/oversight functionality, some control operator practices, and some common-cause control system vulnerabilities. Certain things that broke or behaved unexpectedly in one operation many have counterparts in the other.
