5 radioactive materials detected

Tokyo Electric Power Company says some of the nuclear fuel at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant has apparently been damaged, as higher levels of radioactive materials have been detected in the vicinity.

snip

Officials detected in the air 5 radioactive materials that are generated by nuclear fission.

The level of iodine 131 was 5.9 milibecquerels per cubic centimeter. That's about 6 times the permissible level for workers without protective masks.

The density of the other substances was also higher than usual, but within safety standards.

21 pm, gray smoke rising from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station Unit 3 TEPCO 収Marimashita just before 6:00 pm so more than two hours. Meanwhile, minutes past 20:06 pm is that found that white smoke like steam from the reactor building of Unit 2. According to TEPCO, period, dose-site, a temporary, there is an upward trend, it has begun to fall again from 6:30 pm to examine the association with smoking.

At around 3:00 pm 21 55, greyish smoke from Agari Fukushima Daiichi Unit 3 nuclear power plant, and black smoke, but grayed out or, to fit into two hours after six o'clock, at this point The fire was not confirmed. According to NISA, the scene where the south side of the building containing the reactor, hit on the spent fuel pool, TEPCO workers had hit and the restoration work of power in the No. 4 from No. 1 everyone evacuated. Meanwhile, at 6:20 pm so that the reactor building of Unit 2 is that found that white smoke like steam through a gap in the mountain side of the roof. According to TEPCO, the radiation dose to the west about a kilometers away from Unit 2 and Unit 3, but was microsievert 494 per hour for 40 minutes at 5:00 pm at 6:30 pm, 1 microsievert rose to 1932 per hour. Then started to fall again at 8:30 that afternoon I dropped to 442 per hour microsievert, to examine the relationship between TEPCO smoke. Was scheduled for September 21 in this smoke, and the Tokyo Fire Department, special vehicles with water cannon put a lot of water poured arranged to focus where is that TEPCO was aborted.

Grey smoke rises from Unit 3 of the tsunami-stricken Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant in Okumamachi, Fukushima Prefecture, Japan, Monday, March 21, 2011. (Tokyo Electric Power Co.)


Japanese officials were forced to pull workers out of a disaster-ravaged nuclear power plant Monday for radiation safety reasons after unexplained grey smoke was spotted coming out of two reactor buildings.

It was the latest setback for officials trying to stabilize the troubled Fukushima Dai-ichi plant that has suffered explosions, fires and radiation leaks in several reactors since the massive earthquake and tsunami struck Japan on Mar. 11.

CTV's Tom Walters reported Monday that the first smoke was seen coming out of Dai-ichi's Unit 3 reactor building, but officials were unable to immediately identify the cause.
Smoke was later seen coming out of the Unit 2 reactor and remains under investigation.

Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency
Regarding the result of analyzing the samples from the seawater around
Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Station of Tokyo Electric Power Co.
1. At 14:30 March 21th, Tokyo Electric Power Co.(TEPCO) took the samples of seawater at the coast line from about 100m south of the water discharge gates of Units 1 to 4 of Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Station (NPS) and carried out Radioactive Nuclide Analysis.
2. The result of the analysis was reported at 21:40 March 21th. It showed that the radioactive nuclides of Cobalt, Iodine and Cesium were detected as given in the table below.
3. Among those nuclides detected, Iodine-131, Cesium-134 and Cesium-137
exceeded ?the concentration criteria in the liquid effluents outside the
surrounding area given by the notification of radiation dose.?
4. Although the measured results exceeded the allowable criteria of concentration, considering the evacuation of the residents within 20-kilometer radius from the Fukushima Dai-ichi NPS and the current situation of usage of this ocean area, there is no immediate risk to human health.
5. We are asking Nuclear Security Commission (NSC) of Japan to assess the
measured results. However, we have only one survey point at the current
moment and NSC may be unable to present an appropriate assessment by this
data only. Therefore, Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and
Technology will start the monitoring survey of the ocean and TEPCO will also
continue the survey.

Major radioactive nuclides detected/ Concentration of radioactive nuclide(Bq/cm3)/ Allowable concentration of radioactive nuclide in the liquid effluents(Bq/cm3)
Cobalt-58 /6.0 x 10^-2 /1.0 x 10^0 0.06 times the allowed amount
Iodine-131 /5.1 x 10^0 /4.0 x 10^-2 127.5 times the allowed amount
Iodine-132 /2.1 x 10^0 /3.0 x 10^0 0.7 times the allowed amount
Cesium-134 /1.5 x 10^0 /6.0 x 10^-2 250 times the allowed amount
Cesium-136 /2.1 x 10^-1/ 3.0 x 10^-1 0.7 times the allowed amount
Cesium-137 /1.5 x 10^0 /9.0 x 10^-2 16.7 times the allowed amount

High radiation detected 40km from nuclear plant

Japan's science ministry says radiation exceeding 400 times the normal level was detected in soil about 40 kilometers from the troubled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.

The ministry surveyed radioactive substances in soil about 5 centimeters below the surface at roadsides on Monday.

The ministry found 43,000 becquerels of radioactive iodine-131 per kilogram of soil, and 4,700 becquerels of radioactive cesium-137 per kilogram about 40 kilometers west-northwest of the plant.

The science ministry says there is no environmental standard for radioactive substances in soil, and that it sees no problem at this time. Tuesday, March 22, 2011 19:59 +0900 (JST)
