Radiation hotspots as far south as Tokyo

Posted on August 20, 2011 by Michaël V.B.

I may have abandoned frequent updates on the (ongoing) Fukushima-Daiichi nuclear reactors disaster, but since I still get quite a number of visitors checking out my fallout contamination comparison map of Fukushima versus Chernobyl (from May 19, 2011), I want to … Continue reading →

IODINE-131 a basic map comparison: Fukushima versus Chernobyl

Posted on May 26, 2011 by Michaël V.B.

Similarly to what I did to compare Chernobyl and Fukushima as far as the fallout maps for radioactive Cesium (137, 134) (SEE HERE for the radioactive Cesium maps and those comparison basics), what follows is a basic comparison for I-131′s … Continue reading →

Friday the 13th: Fukushima Gloominess spells Doom

This is a long-overdue overview. (And so sorry, it’s not cursive.) Bloomberg 5/12/2011: “Tokyo Electric Power Co. said one of the reactor cores at its stricken Fukushima Dai-Ichi nuclear plant is more seriously damaged than previously thought, setting back the utility’s plan … Continue reading →

So, the situation at Reactor 1 of ”the Blessed Island – the second*” NNP (this is the reactor (strangely, as #2 and #4 have received much more attention) mentioned in the “US-assisted drills” for “worst case scenario contingency planning: see HERE), … Continue reading →

FDA/EPA: “No Need TO TEST” Pacific fish for radioactivity. Or anything, really…

Posted on April 21, 2011 by Michaël V.B.

FDA obviously doesn’t WANT to do testing. Economic interests (Obama is a nuke dude, Alaska’s fisheries a major economic sector)? I don’t know man… I don’t know… It’s one thing for an agency to discover they’re totally not ready … Continue reading →

Not steam, not smoke, but -> white “smoke” <-

Posted on April 18, 2011 by Michaël V.B.

Where there’s smoke, there is fire. But if there’s “smoke”, there’s… what…? ”oxidation”? The IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) [listed in my list of *NEWS* sources] stated in their most recent update (April 15, not updated as of early … Continue reading →

Fukushima maybe under control by New Year 2012

Posted on April 17, 2011 by Michaël V.B.

How TEPCO pulls this off remains a mystery to me. Radiation levels inside the reactor buildings go up and down, but on average they seems pretty darn high as a working environment. In the US, the additional annual dose a … Continue reading →
