Sci. Technol., 2011, 45 (23), pp 9931–9935, Publication Date (Web): October 20, 2011 (Emphasis Added):
Introduction
- Interestingly, the concentrations through the end of July remain higher than expected implying continued releases from the reactors or other contaminated sources, such as groundwater or coastal sediments
- By July, levels of 137Cs are still more than 10 000 times higher than levels measured in 2010 in the coastal waters off Japan
- [Regarding] radioactive discharges directly to the sea [...] some was unconstrained and likely resulted from contaminated groundwater discharges
Continued Release
- The break in slope in early May implies that a steady, albeit lower, source of 137Cs continues to discharge to the oceans at least through the end of July
- With reports of highly contaminated cooling waters at the NPPs and complete melt through of at least one of the reactors, this is not surprising
- This change in slope of 137Cs in early May is clear evidence that the Dai-ichi NPPs remain a significant source of contamination to the coastal waters off Japan
- There is currently no data that allow us to distinguish between several possible sources of continued releases, but these most likely include some combination of:
- Direct releases from the reactors
- [Direct releases from] storage tanks
- Indirect releases from groundwater beneath the reactors or coastal sediments
Delayed Release into Ocean
- The levels at the discharge point are exceedingly high, with a peak 137Cs 68 million Bq m3 on April 6
- What are significant are not just the elevated concentrations, but the timing of peak release approximately one month after to the earthquake
- This delayed release is presumably due to:
- Complicated pattern of discharge of seawater and fresh water used to cool the reactors
- Interactions with groundwater
- Intentional and unintentional releases of mixed radioactive material from the reactor facility

So this is going to be a continuous, massive contamination of the ocean, affecting world food resources. Time to wake up and take decisive action against this criminal nuclear mafia!
People of the world, get simple Geigers, check the food everywhere and demand the producers recall any contaminated products. Authorities want you to trust them, they don’t want people to go around supermarkets taking readings. If you do it, food industry and retail trade will feel the threat to their money-pocket and may understand that it is time to turn against nuclear industry.

The gig counter does not help with particle contamination.
Gigs pick up gamma. LIke an xray. Dispersed particles like beta and alpha don’t show much of gamma reading. BUt if you ingest a few particles here and couple more there, then these beasties go to town on cell destruction. THe lungs, the human filter liver. Everybodies liver is so overworked already and couple brothers of cesium can realy turn up the heat.
I could only believe the EPA and others have better detection hardware, but shut it all down forthwith.
Now if you got some fuku fish, I bet that would light that gigger up like a lamp.

I understand a simple Geiger counter can’t pick up much of the alpha and beta that are so harmful when ingested. But I just thought that we ought to be seen to distrust authorities on this matter, raise public awareness about the danger in the food we’re eating and the lax controls, and simply annoy the industry by taking things in our own hands and checking food directly on the market. If you cannot afford a Geiger, you might even hold out a fake device or your cell phone!
This might start a trend of concerned consumers. Right now, most people would simply be too shy to dare question the safety of goods displayed in stores!
However, this is just a sudden idea, and before rushing to implementation, it would probably be wise to find out what sort of prosecution you may face, as there probably exists some law against “unnecessarily raising public anxiety” or “disrupting lawful business activity” or something like that …

I hear ya, but freaking out morn shoppers and a simple minded store manager won’t produce very much.
My father inlaw said, “why would EPA not report rad findings, because they have familys, too”. Yes they do have familys, and need to feed them and honor the authority. HE doesn’t believe that and in complete denial and will continue that normalcy bias, just like rich jews in late 30′s about hitler. Half stayed and walked right into the gas chambers.

Yes of course if you can measure everything an afford a professional device, that’s perfect, but the professional instruments get really expensive.
Its important check food even with not so high tech instruments. And CS137 for example emits a lot of gamma (also beta). If contaminated by fall outs usually you get a mix of particles.
If you can afford a GM lots of have mica windows for alpha particles also (and beta of course).
I started checking out my food since some time. Remember the mushroom video of bavarian forest – I wont eat that one no matter what exactly ws the BQ/kg on the mushroom we had.

TEPCO: Radioactive water may have leaked into sea
The operator of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant says radioactive water leaked from a water treatment facility may have reached the sea through a gutter.
Tokyo Electric Power Company says slightly elevated levels of cesium were detected on Sunday in seawater around an outlet from the gutter.
Earlier in the day, workers found that at least 45 tons of water had leaked from a desalinization device at the plant. The water then apparently seeped out of the building and flowed into the gutter.
The leaked water also contained radioactive strontium at levels that could pose health risks in case of internal exposure. TEPCO says it will take about 2 weeks to complete its analysis …

Now, everyone says that when this molten mass of hotties, hits water, it is supposed to do a little boom boom action.
Is the reaction hitting water level, causing the heated water to go the path of least resistence and vent into the ocean? Or maybe they already had wells designed, in place, to vent off steam near every reactor?
Lots of steam poring out of this, no. May not be just from the top.

it is near water all the time. all the explosion stuff is only to lame attention because it will never happen while the silent poisoning could go on (as everybody is waiting for an explosion for months)
maybe the cores are empty since the buildings explosions and everything (distributing nuclids) that could happen already happened.
Tepco is doin really nothing to stop any form of leakage and the rest of the things they do is just cosmetic.

I don’t think this is corium in the groundwater. I remember reading several weeks ago (it would take me time to dig it up) that TEPCO was walking a tightrope on water removal from the basement. If they took out too much, ground water seeped into the basement, filling it back up and making more water to decontaminate. If they took out too little, it seeped from the basement into the ground water, contaminating the upper water table and ocean. So odds are that it seeped out for months, releasing radiation into the Pacific, before they discovered the need to carefully balance the removal (which happened only after they removed enough to discover this seepage), taking out only as much as they pumped into the reactors.
Report Comment
They’re talking about cutting down the forests since they acted like big filters during the initial blow-offs and caught lots of particles. As it rains, those are rinsed out and sent downstream and into those rivers. I’m sure both the cooling attempts and beginnings of groundwater contact have a role to play, but add in the rinse from the mountain forests as a source as well. And perhaps the idiotic burnings of contaminated materials.

China Sends Ship Again to Study Ocean Contamination off Fukushima
“Beijing, Nov. 29 (Jiji Press)–A Chinese survey ship left Tsingtao, Shandong Province, on Monday for the western Pacific to investigate radioactive contamination of the ocean following the nuclear accident at Tokyo Electric Power Co.’s <9501> Fukushima No. 1 plant.
According to a Web site run by China’s State Oceanic Administration, the ship and its crew of about 30 will spend 35 days at sea covering some 9,260 kilometers.
This is the second such survey carried out by China in the wake of the March 11 accident. The first ship was at sea from June 16 to July 4.
Following the initial survey, the Chinese government said it had detected radioactive substances such as strontium-90 in seawater samples and firefly squid taken in waters off Fukushima Prefecture.”

Japan protests Chinese ship’s sea testing
Saturday, June 25, 2011
“TOKYO, Japan — Japan has protested after China sent a marine research vessel to test the waters off its tsunami-hit coast, reportedly to check for radiation, without asking for Tokyo’s consent, officials said Friday.
The Japan Coast Guard said the Chinese ship was spotted 330 kilometers off Japan’s northeast coast where the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant has been leaking radiation into the air, soil and sea.
Japan said China should have asked for permission as the vessel was sailing inside its 200-nautical-mile exclusive economic zone (EEZ).
“We cannot allow scientific research without our country’s consent,” the top government spokesman Yukio Edano said, Jiji Press news agency reported.”

Japan’s growing problem of radioactive water – to be dumped into ocean?

Thousands of tonnes of water have been pumped into reactors at Fukushima in an effort to cool the molten nuclear fuel and bring the plant to a safe shutdown.
‘We are studying a variety of measures to cope with it,’ he said, including the possibility of building more storage tanks. ’The company has consulted with the Japan Fisheries (JF) Cooperatives about the possibility of a water release.’ A group of fishermen immediately lodged a protest with TEPCO and the Economy, Trade and Industry Ministry on Thursday, demanding the plan be shelved…..”

Specialist in Resources and Environmental Policy
Resources, Science, and Industry Division
The Marine Protection, Research, and Sanctuaries Act of 1972 (MPRSA, P.L.
92-532) has two basic aims: to regulate intentional ocean disposal of materials, and to
authorize related research.
This report presents a summary of the law, describing the essence of the statute. It
is an excerpt from a larger document, CRS Report RL30798, Environmental Protection
Laws: Summaries of Major Statutes Administered by the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
Regulating Ocean Dumping
Title I of the MPRSA prohibits all ocean dumping, except that allowed by permits,
in any ocean waters under U.S. jurisdiction, by any U.S. vessel, or by any vessel sailing
from a U.S. port. Certain materials, such as high-level radioactive waste, chemical and
biological warfare agents, medical waste, sewage sludge, and industrial waste, may not
be dumped in the ocean.
So “low level radwastes” may be dumped into the ocean?
My study shows that India infant mortalities due to Chernobyl is of the order of 600000(1986 to 1989) and due to Sellafield from 1970 to 1978 at 3 million odd(And due to all nuclear activities since 1945 to 1989 at 17.5 million. Probably India will have 25 million infant mortalities and counting since Fukushima disaster due to Fukushima disaster. See http://deathdealersnukes.blogspot.com

The infant mortalities due to all nuclear activities from 1945 to 1999 should read 22.68 million from Table IMINA and not 17.5 million as I put up above. Sorry for the slip.
It may be seen how the figure of 25 million for Indian infant mortalities due to Fukushima is estimated, at the vanvadi@yahoogroups site at:

At this rate it is 56210 Terabecquerels per year(Iodine and Cesium only. Adding up all the peak source discharges for Sellafield and Chernobyl from Table SACREDM at http://deathdealersnukes.blogspot.com
a figure of 12248 TBq/y results(ignoring Kr 85 noble gas). This is 4.6 times Fukushima yearly discharge of iodine and cesium of 56210. Now from Table IMINA in the deathdealers URL, the Sellafield and Chernobyl discharges resulted in Indian infant mortality of 3.6 million.
