Radiation from Japan rained on Berkeley during recent storms at levels that exceeded drinking water standards by 181 times and has been detected in multiple milk samples…
Radiation falling with rain can cover grass that is eaten by cows and other animals. It can also fall on food crops or accumulate in reservoirs that are used for irrigation or drinking water. Seafood can also be affected. …
A rooftop water monitoring program managed by UC Berkeley’s Department of Nuclear Engineering detected substantial spikes in rain-borne iodine-131 during torrential downpours a week ago. …
The levels exceeded federal drinking water thresholds, known as maximum contaminant levels, or MCL, by as much as 181 times. …

Efforts to Plug Japanese Reactor Leak Are Failing
By HIROKO TABUCHI and KEN BELSON
Published: April 3, 2011
Prime Minister Naoto Kan prayed for tsunami victims in Rikuzentakata on Saturday.
Water containing high amounts of radioactive iodine has been spewing directly into the Pacific Ocean from a large crack discovered Saturday in a 6-foot-deep pit at the coastal Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. After an unsuccessful attempt to flood the pit with concrete to stop the leak, workers on Sunday turned to trying to plug the apparent source of the water an underground shaft thought to lead to the damaged reactor building by plugging the shaft with a makeshift putty: more than 120 pounds of sawdust, three garbage bags full of shredded newspaper and about 9 pounds of a polymeric powder that officials said absorbs 50 times its volume of water.
Although the stopgap measure did not appear to be succeeding, workers would keep trying to stem the leak, said Hidehiko Nishiyama, deputy director-general of the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency.
Experts estimate that about 7 tons an hour of radioactive water is escaping the pit. Safety officials have said that the water, which appears to be coming from the damaged No. 2 reactor at Fukushima Daiichi, contains one million Becquerels per liter of iodine 131, or about 10,000 times levels normally found in water at a nuclear facility.
There is still a steady stream of water from the pit, Mr. Nishiyama said, but workers would continue to observe and evaluate the situation overnight.
The leak underscores the dangerous side effects of the strategy to cool the plants reactors and spent fuel storage pools by pumping them with hundreds of tons of water. While much of that water evaporates, a significant portion also turns into dangerous runoff that has been discovered accumulating in various parts of the plant, endangering workers at the plant and hindering repair efforts. Last week, three workers were injured when they stepped into a pool of radioactive water inside one of the plants turbine buildings.
Workers have in recent days tried to clear the contaminated pools, but have struggled to find enough places to store the water. Meanwhile, higher-than-normal levels of radiation have been detected in waters near the plant, raising fears of damage to sea life.
The Tokyo Electric Power Company, the plants operator, has said it has little choice but to pump more water into the reactors at the moment, since the normal cooling systems at the plant are inoperable and more radioactive material would be released if the reactors were allowed to melt down fully or if the rods caught fire.
Still, some experts expressed bewilderment at what they called an 11th-hour, improvised bid to plug the leak.
Ive never heard of anything like it at a nuclear power plant, said Itsuo Kimura, Emeritus Professor at Kyoto University and director of the Japan-based Institute of Nuclear Technology. What is really needed, he said, is for the cooling systems to come back online at the plants six reactors. Those cooling systems work by circulating water around the nuclear fuel, producing little runoff.
That is the best way to stop the leakage of radioactive water, Mr. Kimura said. But for now, they have to stop the water leaking the best they can.
Tokyo Electric has come under growing scrutiny for its handling of the nuclear crisis, triggered by the March 11 quake and tsunami. In recent days, reports surfaced that the company, once the largest utility in the world, would be taken over by the government. Tokyo Electric reported that a protesters sound truck, presumably sent to heckle the company was blocked from entering the Daiichi plant on March 31.
There are also frequent protests at the companys headquarters in the Uchisaiwai-cho neighborhood of central Tokyo. On Sunday, several hundred anti-nuclear protestors assembled in front of Tokyo Electrics offices and then marched to Kasumigaseki to protest in front of the offices of Japans nuclear regulators.
The protesters yelled slogans like, Tokyo Electric, get out of nuclear energy, and Compensate the victims. Others called for the company and government to apologize.
Some carried placards that said, Even if we dont have nuclear power, well still have electricity.
The Japanese people dont protest usually, but this time, we have to show that we can call for change, said Masanobu Takeshi, 40, who attended with his wife and son.
Makoto Yanagida, 70, who has been protesting since March 12, said that on the first day, only about 10 people showed up. Sunday was the 10th protest, which drew more than 300 people, he said. Mr. Yanagida said that he will continue protesting until nuclear plants are shut down.
Nuclear officials warned, however, that it could take months to bring the Fukushima Daiichi plant under control.
It would take a few months until we finally get things under control and have a better idea about the future, said Mr. Nishiyama of the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency. Well face a crucial turning point within the next few months, but that is not the end.
Earlier Sunday, the operator of the stricken Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station said that two workers at the plant who were missing since the day the earthquake and tsunami hit Japan last month had been confirmed dead the first Tokyo Electric employees to be listed among the dead since the crisis began. Five employees of subsidiary companies have also died at other Tokyo Electric facilities.
Tokyo Electric said the two workers at the Daiichi plant were found in the basement of the turbine building connected to the No. 4 reactor.
The company found the workers bodies on Wednesday in the basement of the turbine building connected to the No. 4 reactor, but did not release the details until the families had been notified. The company said that the workers, Kazuhiro Kokubo, 24, and Yoshiki Terashima, 21, died on March 11, around 4 p.m., after the tsunami hit the Daiichi plant.
It pains me that these two young workers were trying to protect the power plant while being hit by the earthquake and tsunami, Tokyo Electrics chairman, Tsunehisa Katsumata, said in a statement.
Of the other five deaths connected to the earthquake and tsunami, one man died when he was struck by a crane that had toppled at the Daini power plant. Four other workers died at Tokyo Electrics Hitachinaka thermal power plant when they fell from the chimneys they were working on.

Nog steeds trouwens. Nou hebben ze het alweer dagen over het dichtmaken van een scheur.
Je leest ook al dagen (weken?) over de Japanse overheid die TECPO wil nationaliseren. Hoe is dat hier in Nederland geregeld? Het lijkt me toch handig als de overheid gelijk na een ramp in zulke mate de controle over een bedrijf krijgen dat ze in elk geval ten alle tijde volledig op de hoogte zijn van wat er gaande is. Iets wat dus duidelijk niet gebeurd is in Japan, want TECPO liegt niet alleen de bevolking voor maar de communicatie met de Jap. overheid is ook gebrekkig at best.

Nieuwe update van Fairewinds Associates - Arnie Gundersen
Aan de hand van de toename van neutronen en zeldzame isotopen met een hele korte halfwaardetijd stelt hij vast dat er nog steeds kritische reacties gaande zijn.
In het kort, zodra ze water in de reactor pompen krijg je een kritische reactie. Temperatuur stijgt snel, water kookt weg en de kritische reactie stopt weer. Zonder water stijgt de temperatuur echter ook weer dus moet men weer water bijpompen om een verdere meltdown te voorkomen. Dat zorgt weer voor een nieuwe kritische reactie enz.
Veel borium in het water mengen zou het kunnen voorkomen.
Later deze week lijkt de wind te gaan draaien in Japan.

@ap
Het Japanse elektriciteitsbedrijf Tepco is er vandaag niet in geslaagd een lek in de beschadigde reactor nummer twee van de kerncentrale Fukushima I te dichten. Uit de reactor stroomt nog steeds radioactief water, meldt het Japanse persbureau Kyodo.
quote:Waterabsorberend bindmiddel
Het bedrijf, exploitant van de centrale, probeerde de scheur te dichten met een speciaal waterabsorberend bindmiddel. Mogelijk onderneemt Tepco nog een tweede poging. Zaterdag had het bedrijf het lek in de betonnen huls met cement proberen te vullen, maar dat mislukte, omdat de substantie door het water werd verdund.
quote:Mannen van 24 en 21 jaar
De kerncentrale, ongeveer 250 kilometer ten noorden van de hoofdstad Tokio, werd zwaar beschadigd door de aardbeving en de tsunami die Japan op 11 maart troffen. De koeling viel uit en enkele reactoren raakten oververhit. Dat leidde tot branden en explosies. In het gebouw zijn woensdag de lichamen gevonden van twee medewerkers die in het complex aan het werk waren, toen het natuurgeweld toesloeg. Dat liet Tepco vandaag aan Kyodo weten. Het gaat om mannen van 24 en 21 jaar.
quote:Meer dan 12.000 doden, 15.000 vermist
Het dodental van het natuurgeweld is volgens de politie tot boven de twaalfduizend gestegen. Meer dan 15.000 mensen worden nog vermist. Bijna drieduizend mensen liepen verwondingen op. De prefectuur Miyagi, dicht bij het epicentrum van de aardbeving, is het zwaarst getroffen. Er zijn al meer dan 7300 doden geteld en er worden nog ruim 6300 mensen vermist. Veel vermisten zijn mogelijk door de vloedgolven in zee gespoeld.
quote:Havenstad geëvacueerd
De havenstad Minamisanriku in Miyagi, waar meer dan de helft van de ongeveer 20.000 inwoners dakloos is geworden, is vandaag begonnen met een massa-evacuatie. De geëvacueerden worden ondergebracht in tijdelijke opvangkampen in omliggende plaatsen. Mogelijk moeten zij daar een jaar blijven, totdat er een huis voor hen is gebouwd.
(anp/adb/lb)quote:Verwoeste woongebieden niet heropbouwen
Volgens Kyodo overweegt de regering verwoeste woongebieden niet meer op te bouwen en de bewoners in hoger gelegen gebieden te huisvesten. De verwachting is dat veel bewoners zich daartegen zullen verzetten. Zij zijn al oud en zeer aan hun woonomgeving gehecht.

Tokyo Electric struggles to pin down source of seawater pollution
TOKYO, April 4, Kyodo
Tokyo Electric Power Co. used colored powder Monday to trace the source of highly radioactive water leaking into the sea near the troubled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, while mulling the use of silt-barriers in the sea to prevent the further spread of radiation.
The plant operator poured 13 kilograms of the powder into an underground trench to find the point from where radioactive water is leaking into the Pacific Ocean in front of the plant, after its attempt to block the leakage from a cracked seaside pit connected to the No. 2 reactor turbine building showed no effect so far.
Radioactive water has been filling up the basement of the No. 2 reactor turbine building and the tunnel-like trench connected to it. The powder was injected into the trench shortly after 7 a.m. but did not come out from the crack as of 11 a.m., according to the company officials.
''We must prevent radioactive water from spreading in the sea as soon as possible,'' Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano said, adding that the longer the contamination continued, the larger the impact on the sea would be, even if radioactive materials were diluted.
While efforts are continuing to track down the water flow, the company known as TEPCO is considering installing ''silt fence'' barriers in areas where radioactive water is suspected to be flowing into the sea, Hidehiko Nishiyama, a spokesman for the government's nuclear safety agency told a press conference in the morning.
''We would like to set up these fences as soon as possible,'' he said, before adding that it would likely take ''several days'' to complete the work.
The barriers are comprised of curtains attached with weights, which TEPCO hopes will contain the contaminated water. One of the barriers would be placed in front of the No. 2 reactor's water intake, close to the pit in question, and another barrier is expected to be set up around a damaged portion of the levee near the No. 4 reactor.
The water in the pit is believed to have come from the No. 2 reactor core, where fuel rods have partially melted.
TEPCO has revealed that radioactive iodine-131 more than 10,000 times the legal concentration limit was detected in the water found in the pit.
On Sunday, workers used polymeric water absorbent that can soak up 50 times its volume into pipes leading to the pit, but the nuclear safety agency said the same day that water flow has remained unaffected.

Elk uur loopt 7.000 liter radioactief water (10.000 keer de limiet) rechtstreeks in zee en niemand vindt het lek
@ Reuters
Japanners gaan morgen 17,5 miljoen liter hoogradioactief water in zee dumpen
@ Reuters
Japanners gaan morgen 17,5 miljoen liter hoogradioactief water in zee dumpen
Zagemeel, krantensnippers en luiersquote:Tepco, de uitbater van de rampcentrale in Fukushima, slaagt er niet in het lek te vinden van waaruit hoogradioactief water rechtsreeks in zee loopt. Dat blijkt ook geen klein lek te zijn: elk uur loopt 7.000 liter hoogradioactief water in zee. Volgens The New York Times bevat dat water een miljoen Becquerel jodium-131 per liter, en is het dus 10.000 keer radioactiever dan normaal.
Alsof dat niet genoeg is, wel het bedrijf morgen ineens 17,5 miljoen liter radioactief water in zee dumpen. De opslagtanks waarin het radioactief water dat uit de andere drie reactoren loopt, zitten immers vol. Het gaat om water dat 100 keer radioactiever is dan de wettelijke limiet voor zeewater.
Mysteriequote:De jongste drie dagen is er geen sprankeltje hoop te bespeuren in de berichten die uit Fukushima komen. Integendeel. Pogingen om het ontsnappen van 7.000 liter per uur van erg gevaarlijk radioactief water uit reactor 2 te stoppen, zijn op niks uitgelopen. Er is geprobeerd om een scheur in een afvoerkanaaltje met beton te dichten, maar dat lukte niet. Een andere poging omhelsde een mengsel van zagemeel, krantenknipsel en het poeder dat in luiers zit om te absorberen. Het hielp omzeggens niks.
Nieuwe wanhoopsdaadquote:Ondertussen blijkt het gescheurde afvoerkanaal trouwens niet de enige bron van radioactief water te zijn dat in zee loopt. Erger nog: niemand lijkt te weten van waar het hoogradioactief water allemaal komt en hoe het zijn weg vindt naar de zee. In een poging om dat uit te vinden, strooiden arbeiders 13 kilo kleurstof in poedervorm in een afvoerbuis die komt van de turbinekamer van reactor 2. Het leverde een nieuw raadsel op, want uren later was er nog geen effect te bespeuren.
(mvl)quote:Voorlopig blijft dus water dat 10.000 keer te radioactief is à rato van 7.000 liter per uur in zee stromen. Het water op de site - het staat niet alleen in en rond reactor 2, maar ook rond 1, 3 en 4, wordt ondertussen alleen maar radioactiever, en daardoor kunnen arbeiders quasi niks meer doen. Een nieuwe wanhoopsdaad dan maar: het water dat nu de opslagtanks heeft gevuld dumpen in zee, zodat er plaats vrijkomt voor "erger bestraald" water. Tepco wil morgen meer dan 17 miljoen liter dus gewoon in zee lozen. Het gaat om water dat "slechts" 100 keer radioactiever is dan de wettelijke limiet voor zeewater. Beweert Tepco, maar de uitbater van de rampcentrale is niet meteen de betrouwbaarste bron van informatie, zo is de jongste weken steevast gebleken.
