@es, I am not really worried either. But fitter made a good point. Some may have to. The releases at Chernobyl were certainly of greater dimension. However, yesterday someone from Wales posted that his sheep were still contaminated. In Scandinavia, Cs is still found in reindeer meet today. I remember mushrooms love Cs. People there love to collect them in the late summer and fall. Nobody in Western Europe was supposed to eat them that year. Thus, keeping a detector on the food chain can only be prudent.

@Jeff & Fiona...yes, even NHK isn't covering it like they did. They were my go to for info, but now this forum is all that is left really current and topical. Too bad about the bodies...but I'm wondering if they got "radioactive" from contact with ocean water rather than from the plant itself.

@fiona: And we also have to understand that sharing all the technical details might be interesting for us, but there's not really a reason for them to do so. One thing that can most certainly be criticized though is the lack of proper measurements, that is really terrible. But since the US is surely monitoring the situation very closely (they have troops in Japan), and they are not increasing the evacuation zone or issuing alerts, I think the situation is mostly contained to within the plant. I'm sure the US would act if they though the situation was deteriorating.

The CNN status-of-each-reactor report posted a few minutes ago seems to me inaccurate in several respects. It describes a melt-down as a breach of steel containment and concrete, without differentiating a partial melt of fuel. Then in a few places where it describes radiation levels as "above normal for that locale" it fails to convey the magnitude. Nevertheless, I thank CNN for giving it some coverage. This topic must be quite difficult for regular reporters to write about and express all the quantitative nuances and their implications.

Hi @all I posted this last night but I don't think anybody saw it: I found the reading from last night for the I-134 in reactor 2 was 2.9 x 10e9Bq/cm3 . The highest radiation reported so far. THREE orders of magnitude higher than any of the others. Remember that I-134 has a half-life of 53 minutes.

@Salu - Reactor #4 Spent Fuel Pool (SPF) is exposed to the outside air, just like a swimming pool. The roof of the building was blown away by a hydrogen explosion, so there is no containment of radiation, smoke, steam, etc.

friend Marie, I really wish you would stop posting like 500mS(uS) as if milliSieverts and microSieverts are equal units. This is driving me nuts because of the confusion it could cause. 500 milliSieverts (mS) is 0.5 Sievert is 500,000 microSievert (uS). There is no equivalence of milli (1/1000) and micro (1/million). The difference is 3 orders of magnitude. OK, point made. I just felt it was important to correct something that was posted hours ago since this blog may be archived and may be referenced by news organizations. We engineers use milli and micro all the time and it is impossible to confuse these units.

Related to the Forbes article below, it has been reported in various links now that elevated radiation has been found in the states of Washington, Oregon, California, Colorado, Massachusetts, South Carolina, and Florida. Originally, US "experts" stated emphatically that "no radiation would reach the US". Then it became "if radiation reaches the US it will only be in trace amounts to small to be dangerous". Now we see that radiation exceeds the MCL in drinking water in Pennsylvania and Massachusetts. What do the "experts" have to say now?

Quote from Forbes article: The Environmental Protection Agency yesterday reported finding elevated levels of iodine-131, a product of nuclear fission, in rainwater in Pennsylvania and Massachusetts. The levels exceed the maximum contaminant level (MCL) permitted in drinking water, but EPA continues to assure the public there is no need for alarm:
“It is important to note that the corresponding MCL for iodine-131 was calculated based on long-term chronic exposures over the course of a lifetime – 70 years. The levels seen in rainwater are expected to be relatively short in duration,” the agency states in a FAQ that accompanied yesterday’s brief news release.
“In both cases these are levels above the normal background levels historically reported in these areas.”

@es Typing inaccurate writing by a non-technical person. They probably mean "If the additional tank of the No. 4 reactor SPENT FUEL POOL is confirmed to be full, the reactor and its SPENT FUEL POOL will be safe for now". This is a reasonable point -- given that the unit 4 was shut down for inspection, with all fuel off-loaded to the spent fuel pool.

@all chashing water leaks/flow is one of the most challanging and frustrating things to do.. ask any plumber or roofer... the gutter thats clogged is usually why you have a leak on the 1st floor ... water will flow in places you would never imagine... we recently just fixed a electrical condut line at a plant that had not just water, but when it rained (it started underground) it would "flow like a hose" out the end of the conduit that the electrical lines ran through... figuring where the water was getting in was the hardest part... so the pathway for the dirty water is not just related to the piping systems...

ABC is finally paying attention. They are leading this morning with heavy detail about the reactors. There was also a British reporter who drove into the exclusion zone and up to the plant gate in his car with no protection at all and then got out of his car and walked around. At least the US media seems to now be paying attention.

@NHK, is this the same thing as the damage in the torus? There were reports over the weekend that the piping there broke and was dumping water out into the clean water side. Not enough understanding if that water could make it into the turbine room. I thought the turbine rooms were up higher. I had thought the torus water was leaking back out to the ocean.

@gumba : water itself is not irradient. the radioactivity is caused by radionuclids in the water (I131, Cs137, ....). these radioactive particles can sink to the ground. or there are hotspots with lots of radiation. so it is not clear if removing half of the water will remove half of the radioactivity. it could be, it could not.

@Nancy Nuclear Safety Commission expressed the opinion that radioactive material
from nuclear fuel once melded possibly have reached outside the
containment vessel with water leaked from inside to outside the containment
vessel trough unidentified pathway at unit-2. This opinion is based on the
fact that water accumulated in the turbine building contain high amount of
radioactive material, which is 100,000 times as much as radioactive material
contained in water in the reactor at normal operation. Also Nuclear Safety
Commission mentioned that operation to inject water to the reactor of unit-2
can be continued even in this situation. (13:25, March 28)

nancy.. in general.. there can be contamination in water that and it stays there but if that water gets outside it begins to seep in the ground and can carry the contamination with it... depending on how deep the water table is, those particles can migrate through rain water that seeps in or other from snow etc. the earth is a great filter but there is a chance it can get down to the water table and show up in water like we've seen... the other one is AIRBOURNE.. those particles that get airbourne through some mechanism.. like those explosions where particles are released to the atmosphere and then get carried off into the air and up to the jet stream then carried around the globe depending on winds... etc..

Hmm. From the JAIF report, "It is presumed that radioactive material inside the reactor vessel would have leaked outside the containment vessel at unit-1, 2 and unit-3, based on the investigation of the water sampled at turbine building" So would that mean the reactors have breached or melted through, or just that water from the core is leaking back out the routes used to run water through?

yesterday I looked at a video that one of us put up and it was of a japanese nuclear physicist talking over the reactor situation and he had graphs on pressure, but, he didn't have data from the early parts of the accident but .. his theory is. that as a consequence of the earth quake and subsequent affects.. there could have been whats called.a LOCA accident early on .. there was some 2-3 hours of data missing but he thinks that may have happened. a LOCA right near the time after scram of the reactor , it it was a big LOCA could have caused the fuel to over heat at that early time.

make sure we don't get mixed up on a puddle.. like water... with the molten fuel if it has melted into what some may say puddle. the puddle of water in the turbine building contains radioactive particles which are emitting the high radiation level, removal of the water would probably leave behind some residue of the contamination and still be very high.

If you have a radioactive puddle (say, stable and not rapidly decaying) and remove half of it - do you reduce the exposure rate by 1/2 ? I'm still in a muddle about the puddle.

@Dean: I'd like to have an opinion about #3 reactor. Comparing to #4 and documents we have seen about Mark I desing, it seems to me that the building has collapsed lower than the top of the spent fuel pool. If so, its integrity could not have been preserved. Anyone knowing this plant design saying that I'm wrong would be great....

@dean The alarming thing about it was that initially they said that the majority of the nucleotides were Iodine-134 particles. Later they said they mixed it up with Cobalt or something. Also, there was another report about Chlorine-38 in the water in the turbine room of reactor 1. Both Iodine-134 and Chlorine-38 are very short lived.....so a lot of people are thinking it is an indication of renewed fission. Any thoughts?

From the tepco release I note this pararaph it doesn't give the date it was posted originally so could have been in force awhile....From now on, if the measured figure fluctuates and goes above and below
500 micro Sv/h, we deem that as the continuous same event and will not
regard that as a new specific incidents stipulated in article 15, clause
1 of the Act on Special Measures Concerning Nuclear Emergency
Preparedness (Abnormal increase in radiation dose measured at
site boundary) has occurred. In the interim, if we measure a manifestly
abnormal figure and it is evident that the event is not the continuous
same event, we will determine and notify.

> 1,000mSv/h ? Does it mean that they don't know how much because it is more than the capacity to measure?

Does the 4 dead birds (3 types) i saw today in my hometown (Romania, Constanta) related to this? It's a small chance but i found some worryingsome info on the net
weeksmd.com and made the connection because traces of japan radiation should arrive or already arrived over Romania. Should i worry?

ocean readings starting to make more sense now! TEPCO saying "tide was reason nubrs were wrong did't make sense... in US very little is allowed to "discharge" directly to ocean/rivers due to EPA reg's. (don't know about japan) but most discharge systems would not be affected by the tide (although I also do not know the differential between low tide and high... can be 15-20 feet the further north you get... ours is around 5 feet.

The level of radiation at a similar trench for the No. 1 reactor was 0.4 millisievert per hour, the utility company said, adding that radiation could not be measured at a similar location for the No. 3 unit due to difficulty getting there.

When they say, there was a partial meltdown at #2. Does that mean the top of the rods melted into some big blob with a solidified outer shell but still molten inside? Or is the water sufficient to completely cool such a mass?

water in basment???? trench ??? makes a lot of sense.. good pathway.. water runs downhill and always seeks its own level... they talked about air seals @ doors!!!! if they use baffle seals as a regular seal and do not have compressed air left... they may have lots of "compromised areas" not just the rod pools... I would suspect that any tunnel not a drainage tunnel would be "sealed"

At least it's not atmospheric radiation. The question how it could leak into that "trench" is a very important one, because the trench must have a higher level than the turbine buildings basement.

Hey, I haven't posted since the Reuters site ended but I thought I'd add this information from Yokosonews - at last Tepco conference it was reported that radioactive water was found inside a trench tunnel. He says between reactor 1~3 and I'm not sure what that means. The high level of >1,000 millisieverts was found yesterday at 3:45 and not reported until 5 pm today. Here is the link:

@Salvador Don't know. THe previous high levels was in the basement of the turbine? of reactor 2. This is outside the building, so I'm guessing that people would be affected that got close to the building.

To back track and use Sv, just look at the fatality rate and calc Sv by using 1 Sv = .05 fatalities.

@borrrden You start with a Bq and exposure type. Then you plug it in to the coeffcieint table above (2.2, 2.3, etc.). From here you get a mortality or morbidity rate per second of exposure.

english.kyodonews.jp The health ministry has instructed the operator of water purification plants nationwide to temporarily stop taking in rainwater to prevent contamination in tap water following radiation leaks from the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, ministry officials said Sunday.
While calling on the plants to ensure stable supply of tap water, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare also proposed covering pools of the plants with tarps to keep out rainwater or to use powdered activated carbon that can help get rid of radioactive materials.. Yeah, that's real effective. Cover water treatment plants with tarps. Hello? How do they get new water from OUTSIDE THE TARPS?

@borrrden I believe they take some of that into account when determining the "average" man. Their methodology in the EPA link I sent is a good 40 pages alone. It's just an average, so out of 1 million people exposed to exactly 1 Sievert, then chances are high it will be a 5% fatality. When you have 50 people, there is a certain confidence level (might be 0, might be 5).

@borrrden Well, yes. They make common assumptions about a "man" and what their levels are. But that's what a Sievert attempts to do, standardizes a dose of radiation across all people. There are factors of the time, distance, type of isotope, and type of contact (inhalation, ingestions, soil, etc.). It's plugged in to get a Sievert, and then the fatality rate per Sievert is 5% with long-term cancer.

@Pedro Jesus It's just 1 Sv. So if you have 1 Sv/ hour, it's 5%. 2 hours, 10 %. etc. It absolutely is linear, it's called linear no threshold. THe exposure to radiation is calculated in Sieverts, and then applied even to low levels lineraly.

@borrrden We already do expose millions of people to low level cancer. Radiation workers, xray techs, kids that get lots of xrays, international airline pilots. I can link to many EPA documents that show LNT is good science.

@Jojo What I mean is, when the EPA says that exposure to 1Sv (for how long, btw?) poses a 5% risk of developing lethal cancer, you can't go on doing maths calculations about the exposure to other levels of radiation. It doesn't work like that. It is not linear.

If you take a look at the diagram at the bottom of page 11 of this document, you will see why it is hard to directly attribute low levels of radiation to cancer. I think the only way to confirm it would be to expose millions of people to it in a controlled environment.

@Ralph Unger Rule of thumb is 1 Sv = 5% fatality rate from eventual cancer (in terms of long term effect, apart from acute effect). So 250 mSv would be 1.25% fatality rate each exposure.

plus, before they go in they do a survey with a boom counter. gives them an idea where the hotest spots are. Radiation dosae is a function of time And distance.

If it is 250 per year then you can walk up to the plants and wave a bit and then go home, you got your 250 mSvs.

@Jojo That number is slightly dubious. It is 1 mSv / year limit to the general public directly resulting from any nuclear operation. Most people receive more than that per year from medical procedures (not to mention natural sources).

@Ralph Unger Which is why stuff don't add up. They just found OVER 1 Sv (1000 mSv) per hour in the contmainated water (calcs put it at about 3 Sv/hour). Evan at 1 Sv/ hour, you could have a worker stand there for 15 mins MAX before being sent home...forever. So they are either not able to do work, have tons and tons of workers. or they are going over the limit regularly.

@Ralph Unger don't have a source to cite, but it would be per worker/yr. when you hit 250usv you're moved to non-exposure position. In the USA, the limit for workers is 500usv (msv).

Exposure to 100 millisieverts is the legal limit for nuclear plant workers dealing with an emergency, but the limit has been raised to 250 millisieverts during the ongoing crisis, the worst Japan has seen, at the plant some 220 kilometers northeast of Tokyo.

From "Black's veterinary dictionary" via a google search (refers to chernobyl in text). "Although the physical half life or Radiocaesium is 30 years, it's biological half life is much shorter. in adult animals the half life is estimated at between 30 to 100 days."

@marie rich They have always considered that as a possibility from the start, in fact, the first time I saw it mentioned was on a TEPCO report dating from maybe a couple of weeks back. That's what started all the speculation. But as of this moment, and regardless of all the speculation, that possibility has yet been confirmed nor denied.

I agree Ralph. I am very selfish. In fact, you might call me narcissistic. That could be fair. All I know is that if there's relevant info, we'll be talking about it. Easiest way to know if anything important is here is if you see links.

@marie rich If you go through IAEA and TEPCO reports a week and a half back you will find out that that [containment vessel breach] has been suspected since early on in the crisis... which is, however, completely different from having been confirmed.
