annePlutonium release from Fukushima Daiichi fosters the need for more detailed investigations

“The contamination of Japan after the Fukushima accident has been investigated mainly for volatile fission products, but only sparsely for actinides such as plutonium. Only small releases of actinides were estimated in Fukushima. Plutonium is still omnipresent in the environment from previous atmospheric nuclear weapons tests. We investigated soil and plants sampled at different hot spots in Japan, searching for reactor-borne plutonium using its isotopic ratio 240Pu/239Pu. By using accelerator mass spectrometry, we clearly demonstrated the release of Pu from the Fukushima Daiichi power plant: While most samples contained only the radionuclide signature of fallout plutonium, there is at least one vegetation sample whose isotope ratio (0.381 ± 0.046) evidences that the Pu originates from a nuclear reactor (239+240Pu activity concentration 0.49 Bq/kg). Plutonium content and isotope ratios differ considerably even for very close sampling locations, e.g. the soil and the plants growing on it. This strong localization indicates a particulate Pu release, which is of high radiological risk if incorporated….”

anneObservation of gamma-rays from fallout collected at Ibaraki, Japan, during the Fukushima nuclear accident.
Saegusa J, Kikuta Y, Akino H.
Abstract
“Gamma-ray pulse height distributions were measured for a fallout sample collected at Ibaraki, Japan, during the Fukushima accident in March 2011. The fallout was collected in a pan of water and then evaporated to dryness on a stainless-steel holder. The sample was measured by a germanium detector three times over a year. In the pulse height distribution of the initial measurement, approximately 140 peaks were observed in the 50-2048 keV energy region. Most of these peaks were either total absorption peaks or sum peaks of Te, I or Cs isotopes. Unlike fallout samples at the past nuclear accidents, nuclides such as Ce and Ru were not detected whereas (110m)Ag was prominently observed. The radioactivity concentration of (137)Cs was determined to be at least 1.4×10(4) Bq m(-2), approximately 14% of which was attributed to rainout.”

*** INSANITY OF THE DAY ALERT ***
ReplyDeleteJapanese experts recently found that singing is just as effective in radiation prevention as smiling and drinking beer.
So let's sing radiation away once and for all !
Please find below my charming new song NO FUEL TODAY which is dedicated to TODAY'S FOOLS who are still dreaming the nuclear dream which - I'm sorry to say - is more of a nightmare in terms of the real world we unfortunately live in most of the time [at least we still do as of now, ha ha].
Take your copy of the lyrics, everyone ! I'm sure you all know the melody, it's a natural match, if only I was able to remember the name of that song, damned ! Total lapse of memory - must be an effect of the radiation... (of course there isn't any, right ?)

NO FUEL TODAY
No fuel today, lost in a tragic way
The vessel stands forlorn, a symbol of the dawn
No fuel today, they state the plant's alright
but anyone who's wise knows Tepco always lies
Most of us know just what this message means
The end of mankind (and other life, it seems)
We knew for long that Fukushima scene
Has ramifications never told on TV screen
No fuel today, the pool has gone away
As water levels fell, broke loose a fire hell
But all that's left is a place dark and lonely
A crippled plant in Japan's north-eastern part
Radiation horrors don't stay local only
So we've just seen the start
No fuel today, it has been blast away
It went right through the roof, check air nuclides for proof
Where jet-stream blows, the faster all it goes
The fall-out came at once, nobody had a chance
Most of us know just what this message means
But masses still ignore it (at least so it seems)
I hope the fascists in the nuclear industry
Are panicking in fear from the bad publicity
No fuel today, it's molten down away
Through steel and concrete base, no one knows where it stays
But all that's left is a place dark and lonely
A crippled plant in Japan's north-eastern part
Radiation horrors don't stay local only
So we've just seen the start
Steam clouds today, the water's found a way
From ocean to the well, but noone's gonna tell
But all that's left is a place dark and lonely
A crippled plant in Japan's north-eastern part
Oh all that's left is a place dark and lonely
A crippled plant in Japan's north-eastern part
Oh all that's left is a place dark and lonely
A crippled plant in Japan's north-eastern part

Delightful, isn't it ? I already feel sooo much better....
You must be from ENENEWS?
DeleteActually, I'm not. I suppose you refer to 'Gasser' on enenews. He/she has published many good poems and modified lyrics, but that's not me. I have not commented on enenews so far, I'm not even a registered user.
DeleteI've been following Fukushima since 311 and I read enenews several times a day, along with Fukushima Diary and your blog :-).
Recently, I started leaving some on my ill-minded sarcastic comments here and there anonymously (the latter mostly because I'm a lazy guy and the need to register on any given website on this planet got on my nerve). In addition to above text, the bent fuel pool and flat screen parody go on my account, along with some others.
Admittedly, it's time to finally register and join the party. It seems you could need some help beating the shit out of that jerk socref who is a nuke whore for sure, no doubt about it. He uses sophisticated language, but if you follow the discussions, it is more than obvious that he is an advocate for the dark side. My guts tell me he might not even have a clue of nuclear physics personally, but be assisted by a whole team of experts (sic !) helping him formulate his propaganda. Regarding the communication/psychology tactics, I found the 'Eliza 2.0'* comment very spot on, but I don't think today's software is capable of synthesizing answers of a complexity as we see with socref.
I am sure we will soon see more of his kind intervening, even following the good cop/bad cop scheme, or acting like a merchandising commercial on TV ("Tell me, Wendy, did you know that scientific experiments have shown that Cesium can strengthen your muscles when absorbed at low rates?" - "No, John, I didn't know that, incredible. But indeed, I just found a website confirming it. Unbelievable, I was so blind all the time !" ...). Let's debunk those assholes and dispose of them in some fracking hole.
I'm sorry, I'm late for an appointment and need to leave now, but you can expect to hear from me soon.
Cheers, heads up,
Christian (37) from Berlin
