Japan: Radiocative Water Leak At Fukushima Worse Than First Thought
2013-09-01 17:27:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
National Public Radio: Radiation surrounding Japan's crippled Fukushima nuclear plant has increased 18 fold following a report last month that radioactive water had leaked into the ground around the plant, which was badly damaged in the 2011 earthquake and tsunami. Tokyo Electric Power Co., which owns the Dai-Ichi Fukushima plant, reports that radiation around the site is at 1,800 millisieverts per hour, a level that Reuters says is "enough to kill an exposed person in four hours." Previously, the utility, also known...

Fukushima radiation levels 18 times higher than previously thought

Guardian: Radiation levels 18 times higher than previously reported have been found near a water storage tank at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, prompting fresh concern over safety at the wrecked facility. The plant's operator, Tokyo Electric Power (Tepco), said radiation near the bottom of the tank measured 1,800 millisieverts an hour high enough to kill an exposed person in four hours. Tepco said water levels inside the tank had not changed, indicating there had not been a leak. But the...

Aquatic Fukushima Radiation Plume to Reach West Coast in 2014
2013-08-29 19:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: By March of 2014 a strongly diluted plume of ocean water containing radionuclides from the 2011 Fukushima nuclear incident in Japan will reach the west coast of North America, according to a new study published in the journal Deep-Sea Research 1. However, the plume, which contains cesium-137, is so diluted it will be harmless, according to the report, which cites the power of two energetic currents off the Japan coast -- the Kuroshio Current and the Kurushio Extension -- as the primary drivers...
