SOURCE: (UPDATED) Strontium-90 Discovered in Yokohama City, 245 km from Fukushima I Nuke Plant, EX-SKF, October 9, 2011
[...] The number is 195 becquerels/kg, more than 150 times more than the background (1.2 becquerels/kg).
This is probably the lower of the two samples; the other sample is currently being analyzed.
As far as the Ministry of Education is concerned, the southern most detection of strontium-90 was in Shirakawa City, 79 kilometers from the plant. [...]
On September 30, a government radiation expert appeared on NHK News to tell the viewers that strontium had not flown to the Tokyo Metropolitan area, and the only radionuclides people had to worry about were cesium-134 and cesium-137. In the video clip, the expert looks nervous, so does the male NHK announcer trying to wrap up his remarks. [...]
“To convert from “per kilogram” to “per square meter”, Japan’s Nuclear Safety Commission uses the factor of 65.” (SOURCE)
This equals over 12,500 Bq/m² of strontium-90 in Yokohama.
“Sr-89 and Sr-90—are among the most dangerous products of nuclear fission to human and animal health. Both are ‘bone-seekers,’ chemically similar to calcium, that collect in bone and marrow, where they are known to cause cancer. They are particularly dangerous to the growing bones of fetuses and children.” -Forbes

That means the strontium/cesium ratio is 1:10 or even 1:8. It was previously thought to be around 1:100.
Since strontium travels farther in the atmosphere than cesium, the ratio will be even higher for strontium for the rest of the globe.

Now that’s too bad. The basis for the estimate is the figure computed for Chernobyl as given in my URL http://deathdealersnukes.blogspot.com/
Table MIMSB7189A:
The figure there for Chernobyl’s contribution to infant mortalities including still births(IMSB) for India is 664234(1986 to 1989). The rate for infant mortality is assumed there to be the same as for still births. The infant mortality and still birth rate data and census figures are from official statistics both for prenuclear era and post nuclear era.
ENENEWS, http://enenews.com headlines have reported 20 Chernobyl core radiation level in reactor water and 20 Chernobyl core fuel exposure radiation from spent fuel pools. Applying the precautionary principle regarding the robustness of these data, we may have to reckon with 40 Chernobyls worth of radiation which on a proportionate basis to that given for Chernobyl IMSB in the above referred table is 40×664234 or say 25 million IMSB in the years to come on account of Fukushima Daichi alone.
These are early days but deaths do not wait for a better assessment unless they reveal better truthful factual data which they may have with them.
I am open to your valuable comments.

I must clarify that the estimate is for infant mortalities including still births (IMSB) due to Fukushima extinction level events which are on going. Note that from Figure CCR in the above URL, specifically
http://deathdealersnukes.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html
we see how the India IMSB significantly correlates with %Total Radioactive Discharge Strength due to Sellafield and Chernobyl.

The red bone marrow dose(Sr 90) to the parent has a pronounced and significant effect on the infant mortality.
With this kind of consequences,it is downright unacceptable to choose terrestrial nukes for power needs. Be satisfied with the sun. Man should not continue with modern civilization and must change over to a normal civilization which incidentally zero cost. Dear reader can you use your brains to see how?

Define “normal society”. Seriously, what is a “normal” society? By the way, no modern society means the infant mortality in India will skyrocket. No modern society, no modern medicine.
Be satisfied with the sun? I doubt you understand the problems withsolar power. For example, the University of Leicester found out that solar panels become cost efficient after roughly 25 years, but they only hold 20 years with proper maintenance and service. Not a solution. Also it’s not very smart to put your energy production into a non-linear, chaotic system. The sun is no solution, neither is wind.
Fusion is.

AKM: re “solar panels become cost efficient after roughly 25 years”, a counter to this is that cost of production depends on volume.
As you mention evidence, can you provide a link? or other corroboration?
Fusion: “the solution of tomorrow: always has been, always will be” – too unstable and large scale to manage
The sun has been pretty good for the last 4.500,000,000 years.

Holy cow, you have a lot of information compiled in your links. I have bookmarked it in my active folder and will be reading it.
“The total toll of infant mortality and still births in India during 1971-89 due to Sellafield operations, Chernobyl accident, nuclear weapons tests and normal operations of nuclear fuel cycle is given in Table MIMSB7189A. The total toll as given in Table Deaths is 8785245. The toll of infant mortality and still births due to Chernobyl is included in the toll for 1986-89, titled Chernobyl. The 1986-89 toll equals 664234 deaths.”
So that is over 8 million, just in infants and still births, just in India. And it doesn’t necessarily reflect the bomb test era. Yablokov’s estimate of 985,000 deaths from Chernobyl seems to be way too low considering this information.
I was hoping to study infant mortality due to Fukushima in the US, but I don’t have data on stillbirths, miscarriages, and abortions due to deformities. The infant mortality rate could go DOWN if babies are dying before being born.

“and it doesn’t necessarily reflect the bomb test era”
@ Bobby 1
It does include the bomb test era 1945 to 1985.
And the figure of 8 million plus excess deaths kincludes also Sellafield,Chernobyl and nuclear activities from 1945 other than these. Thus this is over the period 1945 to 1992. The Chernobyl contribution to India infant mortalities is about 662000 including stillbirths(India only). Yablokov’s estimate of 985000 deaths is for parts of the northern hemisphere without India and for 25 years only.

Your entire argument is based on estimates, thus irrelevant. It reminds me of the, as the WHO claims, 600,000 people who die from passive smoking every year. There is no actual evidenve for this claim either. There is statistical data and statistical deaths calculated based on statistical chances, but no actual corpses that any doctor ever checked.

I got my elderly parents on a program to deal with Fuku ASAP. They are in terrific health–no symptoms (although I can’t enforce compliance). Meanwhile, their elderly friends throughout the U.S. have been dropping like flies. It is so sad. I noticed that at least 5 of their friends have passed due to cancer or they acquired a cancer diagnosis this year, after the accident. It’s hard enough for the elderly these days!
Of course, children have the worst threat and legacy. Strontium = Leukemia. I’m glad the kids in my family don’t even like milk…that’s one blessing. Sooo sorry for Japanese kiddos & families… This is very grim.

I read that we can counteract the impact of radioactive Strontium with minerals, bone meal, etc. for your bones and with minerals as well for Cesium. That Cesium is all over, but how do you offset it again?

Strontium & Cesium from Chernobyl are not over – just nearly half of the initial amount. The rest circulates and cancer rates, infertility, malformations and cardiovascular diseases grow.I think Gunderson said that we know the dates of the accidents, but they never end.
Pectin is a very good tool.It removes other toxins as well and cleanses the liver. Really good solution is to grow your own food in a region rich in calcium and use water from a deep well. Water from open dams will soon become hazardous even in Europe. Have in mind that it usually accumulates from the nearby slopes with a large surface and the dam itself is an open surface.

Show me the evidence for the growing cancer rates based on Chernobyl. The actual empirical evidence, not statistical deaths like with the UN’s passive smoking hoax.
By the way, what do you expect? Cancer will increase, because the older people grow the more likely a copy error in the cells will happen, and cancer is really nothing else but a copy error. An oncologist once told me that every human would eventually die from cancer, just most people die long before it hits them from other causes. Why is that? Cause cancer is just a copy error in your cells. It can not be defeated and it can’t be prevented. It’s perfectly natural.

Strontium 90 is an accepted risk to health.
Spelling it out:
If 90Sr has been located, it needs to be followed up and mapped in detail. The mapping needs to include downstream or timeline routes to contamination distribution.

AKM your attempt at powerful rhetoric fails slightly due to lack of content, logical/causal sequencing, and in general failure to demonstrate connections.
It is no bloody use SIR using solely emotive colouring… “the whole lot here” “jumping to conclusions” “they’re fools” “ridiculous” “unreliable” “quick to scream” “if you know how this works” — none of these help to critique in any way the actual situation nor our understanding of it.

“The entire western media complex and their “experts” have been doing this since 3-11″
Someone has to pull you over on that one
The entire western media has apparently been bought and paid for by the nuclear industry, either that or they just don’t see any profit in reporting on the Fukushima crisis. Even here in Australia we haven’t seen more than a handful of related articles, and they usually give the impression that things are more or less under control and not that serious. So your claim to media bias in favour of the anti-nuke movement is competely invalid.
I’ll allow that during the first days of the crisis the explosions etc were headline news. Someone probably forgot to tell them that stuff was supposed to be kept quiet. And possibly those images gave us the wrong impression, as ordinary non-nuclear folk our knowledge of fission, as you point out, is limited. Perhaps you could resolve the issue, is it normal to have those big buildings with hundreds of tons of nuclear fuel inside them explode like that?
Also maybe you could advance a solution to the various melted-through coriums and the overheating and precariously balanced spent fuel pools. I’m actually not sure just how dangerous radioactive releases like this are, but since each major release is unique any grade school science graduate could see that we are in uncharted territory, a global science experiment with small chance of gain and a high risk of negative impact on a huge scale.
