Workers at Fukushima plant suffer radiation poisoning
The kicker is: The officials say the mister was spraying water from a dam about 10 kilometers away from the plant. The same water was being used for toilets and other facilities. TEPCO officials say the workers were exposed to radiation at a level of 19 becquerels per square centimeter. That’s 5 times the limit set by the utility.

TEPCO reveals pumping plan of contaminated water
here’s the kicker: It also warned of the approaching typhoon season. Not to Mention that the water is making the land kind of “Muddy” and Squishy… and the molten Cores beneath the earth are heating up with leaning nuclear spent fuel pools directly above them. Don’t forget, if Fukushima Daiichi has yet another “situation” that goes “boom”, nobody can go into any of the area There, OR, most likely Fukushima Daini (the other nuclear plant no longer mentioned) – that is about 10 KM away (as I recall). You would then have a Domino Effect. “the situation is Not Stable at ALL”.

Ten workers at the wrecked Fukushima nuclear plant were exposed to radiation from contaminated mist […] The workers were waiting for a bus when they were sprayed […] It was unknown how the mist became contaminated […] They were ordered to receive full body scans, which can detect exposure to their inner organs. […] The workers’ exposure was detected by a radiation monitor […] Earlier today, Tepco reported that an alarm sounded at a dust monitor near the building, indicating high concentrations of radioactivity. […]

ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation), August 12, 2013: I’m meeting Fujimoto-san after one of his 12 hour shifts, and I want to know how TEPCO is faring at trying to stop the leak of 300 tonnes of radioactive groundwater every day. Fujimoto-san just shakes his head. “Steam came out of the Reactor 3 building the other day,” he tells me. “When it came out, TEPCO didn’t even tell us. I found out about it on the TV news after I got home from work,” he says.

Govt. to review safety of nuclear waste disposal
Yah, Right, Give me a Break!
