I am on last few days of solar work, and SLAMMED insane busy.
But had this thought in the shower.....
The released inventory from Fukushima should be compared to the released inventory at the time of release to all of the open air bomb tests, AND all the admitted ocean dumping.
SIMPLE ENOUGH.....and would be very interesting.
Any takers to tally that up? Code, Hotaters, PT, bo, K40????
Here is Fuku inventory

Here are some ocean dumping reports

Here are some more ocean dumping resources from ENENEWS
Mother Earth and all of her life are now in serious trouble..nobody notices and nobody cares.

Between 1946 and 1970, the US dumped ~107,000 drums of radioactive wastes at its two sites, including some 47,800 in the ocean west of San Francisco, supposedly at three designated sites. However drums actually litter an area of at least 1,400 square kilometers/540 square miles, known as the Farallon Island Radioactive Waste Dump, which now falls almost entirely within the boundaries of the Gulf of the Farallones National Marine Sanctuary. The exact location of most drums is unknown. At least some are corroding.
There are numerous reports of Ocean Dumping, including the Farallon Islands Nuclear Waste Site, at "The Food Lab".Between 1946 and 1970, the US dumped ~107,000 drums of radioactive wastes at its two sites, including some 47,800 in the ocean west of San Francisco, supposedly at three designated sites.

comparing Fukushima to past nuclear events;
Busby; in the worst case scenario of fukushima
The total immediate catastrophic release of the entire contents of the Fukushima reactors and fuel pools would not amount to more than has already been injected into the global environment by atmospheric weapon tests. The health effects of these are known and amount to some 52 million cancer deaths.

Then I will do halflife analysis, as well as dispersion through the water table.
That will provide a "pretty good" estimate of "Fuku Impact"
Cs was around 1 bq/m3 in the upper 200', and now is reported at 9 to 16. So using that metric, Fukushima jacked up the current "life zone radiation" by 900 to 1600%.
Bring it home data, by stock, but now I need more data. TY to all

stock, a lot of data on plutonium quantities at different sites, stockpiles etc
http://www.nonukesyall.org/pdfs/Plutonium_The_Last_5_Years.pdf
-
The total alpha activity of 239Pu from aboveground nuclear testing is estimated at 7400 tera (10^12) Becquerels and accounts for about 3.3 metric tons of plutonium. The total alpha activity resulting from 238Pu in the environment is about 1200 TBq, or about 2 kilograms of plutonium. Approximately 92% of environmental Pu is attributed to atmospheric testing.
About 15 kilograms (90 TBq) of plutonium was released from the reactor at Chernobyl.

Arrogance of the Insane Hairless Apes
It belongs to the children of our children's kids
The actual owners haven't even been born yet
But we never tend the garden and we rarely pay the rent
Most of it is broken and the rest of it is bent
Put it all on plastic and I wonder where we'll be when the bills hit
We can run but we can't hide from it
Of all possible worlds we only got one, we gotta ride on it
Whatever we've done we'll never get far from what we leave behind
Baby we can run, run, run but we can't hide
Well I'm dumping my trash in your back yard
Making certain you don't notice really isn't so hard
You're so busy with your guns and all of your excuses to use them
Well it's oil for the rich and babies for the poor
We've got everyone believing that more is more
If a reckoning comes maybe we'll know what to do then
All these complications seem to leave no choice
I heard the tongues of billions speak with just one voice
Saying just leave all the rest to me, I need it worse than you, you see
Then I heard the sound of one child crying
Today I went out walking in the amber wind
There's a hole in the sky where the light pours in
I remember the days when I wasn't afraid of the sunshine
But now it beats down on the ashphalt land
Like hammering blow from God's left hand
What little still grows
Cringes in the shade till the night-time

Do some calculations of concentrations of natural uranium in seawater. Then factor natural nuclear reactions. Use double hummed curve to calculate natural fission products. Then compare.
ReplyDeleteThat is a good thought. I think it will be like .005 Bq/M3 CS 137, what say you?
DeleteOr just add some value and provide the data, waiting on the adding value part.
