2011-09-25 Preventing
Another Explosion..., majiasblog.blogspot.com.
 Preventing
another explosion at Fukushima has been key to the success of
the narrative that the plant is "under control" and
that radiation releases are "small."
There
are many reasons this narrative is false.
First,
radiation releases at the plant have not been small, despite
public pronouncements. Please see my post here for details http://majiasblog.blogspot.com/2011/09/more-propaganda-sep-23.html
Second,
the plant is not under control and there is very strong evidence
that the cores of at least 1 reactor and maybe more have melted
through all containment and are now fissioning under ground.
http://majiasblog.blogspot.com/2011/08/video-fukushima-is-china-syndrome.html
http://majiasblog.blogspot.com/2011/05/fukushima-summary.html
Third,
the absence of an explosion does not equate with a stable or
even, necessarily with a less-hazardous radiation environment.
Radiation is being released daily and the tent being built at
the plant will loft that radiation higher, which will help plant
workers but likely increase jet stream contamination. http://majiasblog.blogspot.com/2011/08/new-fairewinds-video_22.html
These
reasons demonstrate the fraud at the heart of the narrative
that no explosion means everything is under control.
However,
we are creatures of conditioning and we tend to believe that
all is fine so long as everything looks relatively normal. The
normalcy bias is presently quite strong because we cannot "see"
radiation and because its effects take years to be detected.
Tepco
has done everything it can to ensure that their narrative of
normalcy and control survives. Nitrogen was injected into unit
3 over the summer to prevent another hydrogen explosion. So
far that move was (and perhaps continues to be) successful.
Tepco
must be very worried about the hydrogen now accumulating in
reactor #1, as reported by Enenews http://enenews.com/asahi-explosive-hydrogen-may-be-coming-from-melted-fuel-rods-and-accumulating-near-the-top-of-the-containment-vessel-without-being-driven-out
Enenews
was reporting on a story published by Asahi: Hydrogen accumulates
in pipes at Fukushima's No. 1 reactor
Asahi
reports: "Hydrogen has accumulated to a level higher than
previously thought in pipes connected to the No. 1 reactor containment
vessel at the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant, the plant's
operator said Sept. 23...
"An
explosion can occur in a gas containing more than 4 percent
hydrogen and more than 5 percent oxygen....
"TEPCO
has been pumping nitrogen into the No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 reactor
containment vessels to drive out hydrogen from their interiors.
The injection of nitrogen is also intended to create higher
pressure levels than those outside to prevent oxygen in the
air from entering the containment vessels.'.." http://ajw.asahi.com/article/0311disaster/fukushima/AJ2011092411943
Majia
here: The possibility of another explosion must make Tepco and
governments all over the northern hemisphere quake because an
explosion will reveal--disclose--the fraud that has been foisted
upon the global public.
The
fraud is the lie that all is controlled at Fukushima and that
releases are "small."
Ok
so my guess is that another explosion will not occur so long
as it is humanly possible to prevent one because too many careers
and too much corporate money are at stake.
Yet,
the public needs to be awakened. The public needs to discard
their normalcy blinders. Although the radiation released will
not kill most of its victims quickly (those outside of Japan),
Fukushima radiation will bio-accumulate and slowly kill and
maim across generations, just like Chernobyl did and continues
to do.
And
unlike Chernobyl, Fukushima has been releasing large amounts
of radiation for months, unchecked by containment.

Radiation Released..., majiasblog.blogspot.com
"Asahi
is reporting on the amount of radiation released for Cesium
and Iodine-131. However, I do not believe these numbers because
it is very difficult to know with certainty how much radiation
was (is still) released over the LAST 6 MONTHS in air and water.
Plus,
the Japanese government has a vested interest in keeping totals
low enough that the numbers look survivable.
I
think everyone should read the Fukushima Diary post I just linked.
http://fukushima-diary.com/2011/09/column-why-japanese-government-is-telling-us-lies/
Anyway
here is the Ashai story: "Fukushima accident released far
more cesium than Hiroshima bombing" August 27 http://ajw.asahi.com/article/0311disaster/fukushima/AJ201108278044
"The
radioactive cesium-137 released by the accident at the Fukushima
No. 1 nuclear power plant was about 168.5 times the amount emitted
by the Hiroshima atomic bomb, according to documents released
on Aug. 26 by the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency (NISA).
"The
amount of iodine-131 was 2.5 times that released at Hiroshima,
the same documents said.
"However,
a NISA official said it was not possible to make a "simple
comparison of effects" based on the amount of radiation
emitted...."
MAJIA
HERE: All these efforts to quantify the radiation released reflect
the human desire to impose order on the catastrophe and to reduce
uncertainty by having a model that allows humans to calculate
the various "risk scenarios."
However,
to reiterate, the truth is that the amount of radiation released
is probably impossible to calculate and it grows daily because
the plant continues to spew.
Hirose
Takashi wrote (2010) Genshiro Jigen Bakudan – Daijishin
ni Obieru Nihonretto (Nuclear Reactor Time Bomb – The
Japanese Archipelago under the Danger of Great Earthquakes)
(Diamond).
There
is an interview with Taksahi available here at the Asia Pacific
Journal http://japanfocus.org/-Hirose-Takashi/3606
Takashi
is quoted describing the disaster scenario he envisioned as
threatening Japan in his 2010 book:
“If
you ask, “Will Japan still be here in ten years?”
I have the evil foreboding that the answer might be, “There
is a very strong chance that it will not” . . . . In the
future there awaits an unknowable, vast dark age. I don’t
want to contemplate its form, but it is the fear of a genpatsu
shinsai syndrome brought about by movements of the earth that
no human knowledge can control"
Takashi's
fear that an earthquake would lead to nuclear meltdowns has
been realized. Now he remarks on the normalcy bias that afflicts
the Japanese people in the wake of this mega-disaster:
He
writes: "even though now that the genpatsu shinsai syndrome
has actually occurred, the people of Japan seem not to have
grasped the nature of the crisis. Unbelievably, though anyone
who looks can see that the situation is getting worse day by
day, television and the other media keep repeating “there
is no crisis”, “There’s nothing to worry about”
over and over, and show no inclination to report the critical
nature of what is happening at Fukushima Daiichi....
In
the past, on television only scholars who are proponents of
nuclear power have given commentary as “experts”.
We listened to them telling their fantastic lies and offering
their impossibly optimistic predictions, and as a result the
people, having been given none of the facts, have gone on living
as normal right up to the edge of the collapse. Now everything
the “experts” told us has proved wrong, and the
worst has happened...

Here: Our unwillingness to confront reality enables elites to
succeed with their lies. We all will suffer as a result.

Asahi:
"Ministry sets radiation levels requiring decontamination"
"The
Environment Ministry will decontaminate areas with an estimated
annual dose of 5 millisieverts or more from the accident at
the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant, which the government will
shoulder as its burden in cleaning up the mess.
All
the areas recording 5 millisieverts or more are in Fukushima
Prefecture and encompass 1,778 square kilometers, or 13 percent
of the prefecture's area.
"Five
millisieverts in an annual dose is equivalent to about 1 microsievert
per hour based on the assumption that people spend eight hours
outdoors and the rest of the time indoors...."
MAJIA
HERE: (1 microsievert an hour) 24 hours X 365 days = 8.760 MILLISIEVERTS
A YEAR!
The
Japanese are ARBITRARILY reducing the level by saying that people
don't spend all of their time outside so the total exposure
is less than 8.7 millisieverts and voila it is 5 millisieverts
a year.
THIS
IS NOT JUST ARBITRARY, IT IS CRIMINAL.
Arnie
Gunderson of Fairewinds pointed out that people's HOUSES TEND
TO GET MORE CONTAMINATED THAN OUTSIDE because people track radioactive
contamination into their houses with their clothes, shoes, hair,
etc. To reiterate, houses become more contaminated over time
than outside areas.
FURTHERMORE,
this entire calcaulation FAILS TO ADDRESS EXPOSURE TO INTERNAL
EMITTERS that occurs as the Japanese (and North Americans) inadvertantly
inhale and ingest radionuclides in their air, rice, water, vegetables,
etc.
THIS
IS CRIMINAL!

‘We
in Otsu-City, Shiga Prefecture, 311 miles (500 km) from Fukushima,

which is around five times what the Japanese government is

Japan – Fukushima Prefecture (top red circle) where
TEPCO nuclear power plants exploded and melted down after
the March 11, 2011, magnitude 9.1 earthquake and giant tsunami
east of Sendai. The distance from Fukushima southwest to Kyoto
and Shiga Prefectures (lower red circle) is 500 kilometers
(311 miles). Even with the 500-kilometer-distance from Fukushima,
one concerned university professor in September 2011 near
Kyoto is measuring ground radiation where he lives in Otsu-City,
Shiga Prefecture, at around .4 microsieverts/hour. That is
at least ten times higher than the 0.03 microsieverts/hour
background level the Japanese government asserts. That misinformation,
the professor says, is because the Japanese government is
afraid to tell the truth.

To: Linda Moulton Howe <earthfiles@earthfiles.com>
Dear Linda,
I
need to report on the cover-up involving nuclear contamination
throughout Japan. I have been conducting measurements and
experiments near my home in Western Japan, more than 500 kilometers
from Fukushima (in Shiga Prefecture). I have found the local
soil to be quite and undeniably contaminated. Even ambient
radiation levels are around five times government data.
However,
there is no acknowledgement from the government or media of
this situation. The average citizen has no idea of the dangers,
and therefore, takes no precautions.
The
only way to understand how the government can present false
data showing absolutely no effect of Fukushima in Western
Japan — knowing that some day the lie will become apparent
— is that things are far worse than anyone has imagined.
Indeed in Japan, one does not tell someone with cancer that
he/she has cancer; it may ‘upset’ them too much.
I think, in the future, we will be given a similar excuse
for the current cover-up.
I
am writing a paper on the situation and my measures to alleviate
the radiation on my property. I have four small children,
who I plan to send abroad early next year. They will be among
the first of many ‘radiation refugees’.
As
an American Missouri journalism student, I had experience
as a science/environment reporter. And my brother, with whom
I consult, is a research physicist at Washington University
in St. Louis. My data is good. I’m happy to share (or
discuss) it with you.

by Iori Mochizuki, fukushima-diary.com.
In
addition to two previous posts on this issue:”Fukushima

in recriticality” it turns out that they also detected
I-131 in North and Western Japan.
1)

* 42 Bq/kg – 8/9/2011
* 41 Bq/kg – 9/6/2011

* 151 Bq/kg – 8/11/2011
* 44 Bq/kg – 8/22/2011
When
it comes to the detection of I-131, some people always try to
deny the possibility of recriticality to reassure themselves
by bringing up the possibility of medical usage of Iodine.
However,
in a previous post, Breaking
News: Fukushima went back to recriticality almost for 100%,
the possibility of the medical usage of Iodine was completely
denied by asking the local hospitals.
From
all the data,it is possible to think Fukushima still goes into

2011-10-01 THE
POLITICS OF RADIATION MAPS, majiasblog.blogspot.com
MAJIA
HERE: These radiation maps are very political. It is very easy
to manipulate radiation measurements.
Measurements
can be manipulated by only measuring 2 kinds of radiation contamination
(e.g., Cesium-137 and Iodine-131) and deliberately ignoring
the presence of other forms of radiation contamination (e.g.,
plutonium).
Measurements
can (and have) also been manipulated by locating the measurement
devices meters above the ground, rather than locating the devices
a few centimeters above the ground, where accumulation exists.
Measurements
can also be manipulated by outright fraud and deceit.
The
maps are political for obvious reasons. That is why all of these
map findings need to questioned in relation to the following
questions:
Who
measured and what vested interests might they have?
What
was measured? That is, what forms of radiation were actually
being measured?
How
were measurements actually taken? Where did sampling occur?
How high was the measurement device placed?
Finally,
what agency or individual put the map together and what vested
interests do they represent?
With
these questions in mind, let us examine the latest radiation
map discussed in the Japanese press.
Asahi:
Radiation spread reaches Chiba, Saitama prefectures
http://www.asahi.com/english/TKY201109300393.html
[Excerpted]
"Fairly high levels of accumulated radioactive cesium in
Chiba and Saitama prefectures were shown in a new contamination
map released by the science ministry on Sept. 29.
The
two prefectures, neighboring the municipal areas of Tokyo, are
located about 200 kilometers from the disabled Fukushima No.
1 nuclear power plant. The measurements for Chiba and Saitama
prefectures were taken from Sept. 8 to Sept. 12 using helicopters.
In
Chiba Prefecture, the highest levels of cesium-137, between
30,000 and 60,000 becquerels per square meter, were detected
in northern areas, such as Kashiwa, Matsudo, Abiko and Nagareyama.
Cesium-137 has a half-life of 30 years.
In
Saitama Prefecture, some mountainous areas of Chichibu, located
250 km from the plant, recorded 30,000 to 60,000 becquerels
per square meter.
In
the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear accident, areas with 37,000 becquerels
or more of radioactivity per square meter were designated contaminated
zones, while levels of 555,000 becquerels or more required forcible
relocation..."

designations of contaminated areas by the Japanese government

There
is also a new concern that the maps being generated DO NOT INCORPORATE
READINGS FROM PLUTONIUM AND STRONTIUM but rather are based on
Cesium and radioactive Iodine.
Strontium
and plutonoum are now being "found" but I don't believe
these findings are incorporated into the maps;

His
map is available here
http://gunma.zamurai.jp/pub/2011/route930.pdf
No
doubt there are other maps that represent contamination differently.
Although
the truth of the degree of radiation contamination is difficult
to ascertain at this point in time, it is imperative that Japanese
citizens ask the questions I've outlined above when evaluating
their personal safety in regard to radiation contamination.
