The News That Matters about the Nuclear Industry Fukushima Chernobyl Mayak Three Mile Island Atomic Testing Radiation Isotope

Fukushima – a clean -up for all eternity?

“the Pacific Ocean is big enough for this level of release not to represent the global catastrophe that some are predicting.”
“even if all of this [the entire Fukushima inventory of radioactive fuel] ends up in the sea (which it may do),  the overall dilution will result in a concentration of 1 Bq per cubic meter. So the people in California can relax.”
HOWEVER, IN JAPAN:
“The east coast of Japan,  the sediment and sand on the shores,  will now be horribly radioactive. This material is re-suspended into the air through a process called sea-to-land transfer. The coastal air they inhale is laden with radioactive particles.”
“anyone living within 1km of the coast to at least 200km north or south of Fukushima should get out. They should evacuate inland. It is not eating the fish and shellfish that gets you – it’s breathing.”
Pump and pray: Tepco might have to pour water on Fukushima wreckage forever Fukushima is a nightmare disaster area, and no one has the slightest idea what to do. The game is to prevent the crippled nuclear plant from turning into an “open-air super reactor spectacular” which would result in a hazardous, melted catastrophe.
