TOTAL
AMOUNT OF NUCLEAR FUEL THAT EXITED FUKUSHIMA
Via

July, 2014
What
about the #1, 2 or 3 spent fuel pool, which each contained over 1,000
assemblies, thecommon spent fuel pool which had 6,000 assemblies and
of course units5 and 6 which had core assemblies and spent fuel as
well. It's apretty good bet that at least some of that has melted as
well."
80% of
Fukushima radiation released went over the ocean, and 20%
was deposited on land inside Japan, out of that total. "Dr.
MichioKaku, a world renowned CUNY theoretical physicist pointed out
on CNNMarch 18, 2011, Chernobyl involved one reactor and only 57.6
Tons ofthe reactor core that went into the atmosphere. In dramatic
contrast,the Fukushima Daiichi disaster immediately involved six
reactors andan IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency, a UN Agency)
documented2,800 Tons of highly radioactive reactor cores.
The
only question is, how much of this 2,800 tons of radioactive
materialended up going into the air and ocean? If Chernobyl released
57 tons,then wouldn't you agree that the 3 to 5 melted down and out
reactorswould release at least 3 times more than Chernobyl? Now add
the spentfuel pools and it starts looking really, really bad.
As
oneadds on the multiple orders of magnitude more tons of spent
nuclearfuel in the spent fuel pools, it makes Fukushima much worse
thananything humanity has seen before. Let's look at this disaster in
away that the nuclear industry does not like to bring attention
to,shall we? This evidence is directly from the scientific studies
thatthe pro nuclear scientists are putting out.....

james MarkAnthony Taylor "Each one of units 1, 2, and 3 had
approximately500 fuel assemblies in them. (unit 1 was a little less
than 500, 2,3, and 4 all hold 548 if my memory is correct. Unit 4 had
beenunloaded at the time of the accident) Each fuel assembly is a
matrixof 12 foot long fuel rods, I think 10 x10 rods and
weighsapproximately a ton, about half being the heavy fuel encased
inzirconium shells.
So,
somewhere around 750 tons (500assemblies x 3 reactors x 1 ton x 1/2
nuke fuel) of fuel was lost tothe environment when the cores of 1, 2,
and 3 exploded or melted out.Probably another 250 tons was lost when
whatever burned and explodedout of the #4 equipment pool. That get's
you to my 2,000,000+ poundsnumber. We also know that at least some of
the fuel in the spent fuelpools has melted down - as underwater
camera views have shown someburned assemblies in the #4 pool. Is
there any evidence that amassive amount of radiation came out of
Fukushima?
The
answer is YES!

It could
be that Fukushima was not responsible for this total peakreading, but
rather, multiple other nuclear reactors in Japan alsomelted down and
caused this high peak reading, so it is really areflection of the
total coverup of the scale and scope of this meganuclear disaster and
the lack of true, meaningful information comingout of Japan. But this
one comparison serves to accurately frame howreally bad the 3/11 mega
nuclear disaster really was.
INTRODUCTION
According
to a Japan Nuclear Agency, 14reactors at 4 sites were affected by the
earthquake. FukushimaDaiichi was NOT the only one that leaked
radioactive substances.Daichi also released massive amounts of
radiation, but that has beeneffectively covered up. Many nuclear
plants were negatively affected,such as Daini, Onagawa, and Tokai.
How much damage did they sustain,and how much radiation did they
release? The pro nuclear 'experts'will not go here. They will not
even discuss or acknowledge thissimple, basic fact.

A simple
calculation will explain the huge story that is behind thenuclear
industry radioactive glowing wall of secrecy. Just onenuclear or
hydrogen bomb open air explosion releases about 2-10pounds of highly
dangerous, life and health destroying radioactivesubstances that
circulate around the globe for tens of thousands ofyears.

Global Nuclear Atmospheric Bomb Tests 1945-1998;via A GreenRoad
http://agreenroad.blogspot.com/2012/04/nuclear-atmospheric-bomb-testing-1945.html
Upto
the point where people became outraged enough to ban open airtesting
of nuclear weapons, due to the catastrophic rise in geneticdiseases,
cancers and birth defects all around the world, over 2,400nuclear
bombs had been set off. How much in total pounds ofradioactive
elements was released into the world 'backgroundradiation' pool due
to all of this 'testing'?
There
are 2,000pounds in a ton. Let's multiply 2,400 nuclear bombs X a
veryconservative 3 pounds each = 7,200 pounds of 1,200 man made
longlived radioactive and life destroying substances released in
total tothe globe. But using a figure of 10 pounds per bomb, the
total risesto 24,000 pounds. Dividing 7,200 by 2,000 pounds tells us
thatbetween 3.6 to 11 tons of plutonium, uranium and other
radioactiveelements were released by all of these nuclear bombs.
Thesebombs
were spread out over a span of several generations, so theradiation
dose was diluted by both time and distance across theworld. Is it any
wonder that the raising the background radiationglobally by a huge
amount.
Background
Radiation Has Increased600 Percent - 1 mSv In 1950 To over 6 mSv In
2014; Where Is ThisComingFrom?
The3
- 10 tons of 1,200 or so man made radioactive elements from the2,400
open air nuclear tests can still be measured all around theworld in
the soil, air, and oceans. These poisonous elements areconstantly and
forever being concentrated as they travel up the foodchain to people,
who are at the top of the food pyramid. Theseradioactive elements
will continue to do this for millions of years,until all of these
1,200 plus man made radioactive elements totallydecay away.
Radioactive
strontium can still be easilymeasured in the bones and teeth of
everyone alive today, with theproper testing equipment. Measuring the
radiation in baby teeth isone way of measuring the body burden of
strontium in the body forexample.
These
2,400 nuclear tests were enough to cause aHUGE rise in deaths,
diseases and genetic problems, which has largelybeen covered up and
denied by both the nuclear and the medicalindustry. The medical
industry is constantly clamoring for more moneyto 'study' the problem
of what causes cancer. They have no clue whatcauses all of these
cancers, supposedly, but they are absolutely surethat all of the rise
in cancers and all of the other diseases hasNOTHING to do with the
tons and tons of radioactive elements releasedinto the environment
globally. Did you think that doctors were moreintelligent than you?
It might be time for your to change your mind.We still have not
talked about the releases of radiation from nuclearpower plants,
nuclear accidents and releases from mines, reproccesingfacilities and
more.
A
full scale nuclear war TODAY, wouldmean around 10,000 nuclear bombs
set off globally, resulting in alife extinction event, with
practically NO HUMAN life possible afterthat. A full scale nuclear
war would release not only the radiationin those bombs; it would also
cause the meltdown and release of allradiation in spent fuel pools
and nuclear power plants globally, andthere are over 400 of those,
containing hundreds if not thousands ofTONS of radioactive elements.
Of course the pro nuclear folks believehumans can live through a
nuclear war and survive with no problemafter that, since radiation is
so safe and harmless.
However,just
ONE nuclear power plant accident involving a naked and exposedspent
fuel pool can release this same amount of radiation and do theexact
same thing as a global nuclear war, or worse. The melt down andmelt
out of just one nuclear plants and it's spent fuel pool wouldmean
approximately 100 tons total of highly radioactive materialwould be
released from the reactor core, and another 1,00 tons couldbe
released from the spent fuel pool.
Essentially,
releasing1,4000 TONS of highly radioactive nuclear material into the
air meansthat all life could be extinguished on Earth. Remember that
2,400nuclear bombs only released 3 to 10 tons of radioactive elements
intothe Earth since the 1940's. Now try to imagine what happens
whenmultiple reactors and spent fuel pools all melt down and out at
thesame time, as was the case at Fukushima.
Numerous
nuclearaccidents have happened many times since the beginning of the
atomicage. Most of these accident s were either completely or
mostlycovered up and were not even reported, until OTHER
COUNTRIESexperienced the leaking radiation. For example, other
countriesforced the Soviets to disclose the Chernobyl accident, and
then theSoviets under Gorbachev were forced to take action and
evacuatepeople, many days later, after everyone had been exposed to
the worstradiation that comes out initially. This same pattern of
denial,refusal to help people, and a cover up of what happened is the
'rule'for every nuclear disaster, not the exception. Most pro
nuclearapologists will only admit to 3 nuclear plant meltdowns, but
thetruth is that 10 times are documented, and this is just a drop in
thebucket, because most of these nuclear accidents are treated as
statesecrets, never to be disclosed.

Of All 30+ GlobalNuclear Reactor Melt Downs; via@AGreenRoad
AtChernobyl,
approximately 1 million people were pressed into serviceto to try and
keep the melted corium from reaching groundwater, andthis effort was
successful. If this had not been done, the entirecontinent of Europe
would probably have been lost and beuninhabitable for tens of
thousands of years.

Chernobylonly
had ONE reactor blow up with a steam explosion. Shortly afterthat a
hydrogen gas fueled explosion happened, followed by an out ofcontrol
nuclear fire composed of burning graphite, uranium and
otherradioactive elements. This fire burned for many days, as the
Sovietgovernment tried to put it out by dumping millions of pounds of
sand,boron, and lead via helicopter on the burning corium. The corium
thatwas not ejected out of the core with the 2 explosions heated up
toover 4,500 degrees Fahrenheit. The fuel rods melted down and out
ofthe reactor container, flowing down like lava into the
basementsunder the reactor itself, where they can still be seentoday.
Compared
to Chernobyl, Fukushima had at least 3 andpossibly 5 nuclear reactors
that melted down, melted through and outand had buildings that
literally blew up. Numerous buildings blew upand and numerous spent
fuel pools melted down, caught on fire, and #3experienced a non
hydrogen nuclear explosion, (or as the experts callit, a 'prompt
criticality'). AGRP will call this a nuclear explosion, because it
ejected the contents of whatever it was that blew up outinto the air,
and spread fuel fragments for mile around. Theradioactive plume then
went down over Tokyo and then around theworld. Yes, #3 was not an
atomic bomb, but the result of what cameout of just #3 is actually
much worse by many orders of magnitude,than any nuclear bomb would
have been.
As
the FukushimaDaichi reactors and spent fuel pools melted down and/or
burned, theyreleased massive amounts of radioactive material that
turned intoinvisible gases such as Iodine and Xenon, which then went
around theworld.
Yet,
little or none of this is even admitted, much lessbeing reported by
the official pro nuclear 'experts' because theirpaycheck and position
in the industry depends on them not disclosingthis. Anyone not toeing
the line and finding that Fukushima was morethan 10% of Chernobyl,
loses their source of funding, their jobpotential in the industry or
they are fired.
The
money chokehold in the nuclear industry controls the 'acceptable'
results inscientific research and what is reported officially through
bothnational and international nuclear 'agencies', such as the IAEA,
WHO,UNSCEAR and NRC, just to name a few. It is easy to control the
flowof information, because there are so few nuclear experts
globally.For more about this corruption and deception, click on

Science Of Deception; Global Corporations And The 1%
Themoney
choke hold is why almost all nuclear 'experts' will keep sayingthat
Fukushima released no more than 10% of Chernobyl. Because thenuclear
industry toes the glowing radioactive line, this alsoexplains why the
mass media is so silent about the Fukushima meganuclear disaster.
Through massive advertising budgets and noinvestigative reporters,
the nuclear industry effectively controlsthe mass media reports about
Fukushima as well.
There
noinvestigative journalists and nuclear experts from other
countries researching these damaged or destroyed and melted down
Fukushimanuclear plants and their associated spent fuel pools.
Reportersmerely repeat what they are fed by TEPCO. No independent
outsideneutral nuclear agency exists to demand answers and
accountability.The nuclear agencies that do exist are all more or
less 'captured' orcorrupted organizations, who are mostly biased or
totally corruptedby the profit motivated nuclear industry through the
money and powerties of the global nuclear industry.
Why
is there still nodefinite answer about the current state of these 14
reactors and 14or more spent fuel pools at all of these nuclear power
plants,approximately 3 years (2014) after the mega nuclear
disasterhappened?
Where
are the coriums that melted out of thebuildings and containments, and
what are they doing today? Thenuclear industry does not want to know
where they are, so as oftoday, no one knows where the coriums are,
and no one cares to know,despite being able to do so within a month
or less.
AfterChernobyl,
a whole team of nuclear scientists were assigned the taskof finding
out what happened to the corium by the then Sovietgovernment. These
scientists found the Chernobyl melted out coriumfairly quickly, with
many of them sacrificing their lives in theprocess due to the
extremely high doses of radiation that theyreceived.
In
Japan on the other hand, no one has been assignedthe job, no one is
interested, and there is no goal of ever evenfinding out where they
are. It is very easy to conclude that there isa huge coverup around
the Fukushima mega nuclear accident, because ifit was known what
happened here, it would cause all nuclear powerplants to be shut down
immediately. The evidence of the cover uparound Fukushima in great
detail is available via the followinglink.

Thescientists
will not go to the above conclusion, and the best they cando is to
admit that Fukushima released 10 to 100 times more radiationthan
Chernobyl, into the ocean, as per Ken Buessler below.
“In October,
a U.S. study – co-authored by oceanographer Ken Buesseler,a senior
scientist at the non-profit Woods Hole OceanographicInstitution in

Ofcourse,
the radiation releases from the melted out coriums continuethrough
leaks from the basements of Fukushima. The radiation releasesfrom the
Fukushima site is only getting worse over time, and theradiation
amounts per liter of water are only going up, from 3/11 topresent
day. There is no total amount of radiation released yet,because the
Fukushima mega nuclear disaster is not over yet and theout of control
release of radiation is still happening from theFukushima plant, with
unknown amounts ending up in the ocean. Theamount being released is
being totally covered up, largely due topressure from the nuclear
industry, and the complicity of the massmedia and the Japanese
government, which passed a secrecy law, makingit illegal to talk
about nuclear disasters.

Thereis
also the matter of what happened to the nuclear fuel that gotblown
out of Fukushima Reactor and/or spent fuel pool #3.
Theradiation
from these highly radioactive rod pieces is entering theocean even to
this day, polluting and contaminating the oceancurrents going by
Fukushima, for potentially millions of years.
Theauthorities
cemented over the underwater part of the man made bayright next to
the plant, so this cut down on the amount of radiationreleased from
these highly radioactive pieces of fuel rod toxicity.Until the pieces
of rods blown out into the ocean beyond the bay areall found,
gathered up and properly stored away from all livingthings, they will
probably continue to cause problems with oceanradiation for tens of
thousands of years, if not millions of yearsinto the future.
Could
these fuel rods be the reason for thehigh radiation readings found by
very recent ocean monitoring 20-400miles off the coast of Fukushima?
The
rivers all up and downJapan are also adding unknown radioactive
amounts to the ocean, asradiation washes down the rivers from the
mountains and farms fromall over Japan. The Japanese are also burning
radioactive debris allover Japan, and this airborne radiation source
also ends up in theocean. Radioactive ashes are dumped into Tokyo
Bay, and reports havealso come in about radioactive soil and debris
being dumped into therivers.
Recently,
TEPCO got permission to dump radioactivewater into the Pacific,
instead of storing it on site.
Bottomline,
groundwater, rivers, bits of spent fuel rods and airborneradiation
that ends up in the ocean continues to release massiveamounts of
radiation into the Pacific on a constant, never endingbasis.
The
Pacific ocean was already dying from globalwarming, acidification,
and marine pollution such as plastic andchemicals. This just puts
another stress on the ocean, which willcause the death spiral to
accelerate even faster and further.

Question
about totalradiation … at Fukushima
http://enenews.com/nikkei-sievertshr-beta-radiation-emitted-single-liter-leaked-water-contain-large-amount-strontium/comment-page-1#comment-198740
Afterthe
tsunami and reactor meltdowns at Fukushima, they ran out of
freshcooling water, so they brought in a huge amount of water via a
barge,that was then used up, and filled with radioactive waste water
comingout of the reactors. The Japanese injected 10-15m³ per hour of
freshor sea water at 8 points in 4 reactors plus 4 spent fuel pools.
It isnow down the road several years. The total amount of water
injectedcalculates out roughly to 300 day`s x 24 hours x 30000- 50000
litersper day. By these calculations, what is the total amount of
waterused?
"The
tanks were installed to contain an increasingamount of water with
…radioactive substances. About 1,000 tankscontain an estimated
120,000 tons of contaminated
water.“ http://www.yomiuri.co.jp/dy/national/T120227004796.htm
InONE
YEAR, TEPCO accumulated 1,000 tanks with 120,000 tons of water.If
this keeps on going like this for thirty years, that will mean30,000
tanks... Are they all earthquake proof? How long will theylast? How
much radiation is in those? What happens if they leak? Arethey
guarded? What happens if a terrorist blows up some of them, or aplane
crashes into them?

Whatis
their volume, and what kind of radiation does this water
contain?There is one estimate of beta radiation in at least one tank…

sieverts/hr of beta radiation emitted from a single liter ofleaked
water
http://enenews.com/nikkei-sievertshr-beta-radiation-emitted-single-liter-leaked-water-contain-large-amount-strontium
So how
much radiation does that calculate out to onsite in these
storagetanks, given the above facts?
A
worker at Fukushima disclosedthat the tanks were built with no
warranty and were designed to lastonly one year. At the one year
point, the site contained 1,000 tanks.At the two years point, how
many additional 'temporary' tanks wereadded? Two years in, reports
come in almost daily about leakingtanks. This problem will get much
worse.
How
long can theycontinue to do this? They cannot release any cooling
water to theocean, because the reactor cores are all leaking and the
coolingwater is coming in direct contact with melted corium, which it
is notsupposed to be doing in a normal reactor.
Everything
runningthrough the reactors and/or spent fuel pools is highly
radioactive.Plus, all of the Rube Goldberg plastic pipes are
leakingcontinuously, and the tanks are leaking as well.

not being built, where the original projections were thatthey would
have to build 1,000 tanks per year to handle the 'leaking'water from
the reactors.
The
total amount of water on site intanks is decreasing, not
accumulating. Despite what TEPCO claims,they are dumping everything
into the ocean or evaporating it via thehigh temperature incinerator
building, and the clampdown plus secrecyact is preventing any news
about this from escaping.
The TEPCO
page above shows a couple of things. First, the reactors areall
leaking directly from very 'hot' core material inside thereactors
directly into several reactor buildings basements, marked inred
(liquid). These reactor buildings are connected via
undergroundconnecting pipes, tubes and channels to other buildings on
the site,and to the ocean. Since all building foundations are damaged
andcracked, this highly radioactive liquid leaks out of these
channels,basements, tubes and cracks into the groundwater, which then
goes tothe ocean. Of course, TEPCO does not show that part, as that
would beconsidered a 'harmful rumor'.
This
highly radioactive liquidfrom the building basements is then pumped
through a number of otherbuildings, and an evaporation building, and
then it is put back intothe reactor within multiple buildings. What
happens to all of thewater that leaks out of these buildings, with
cracked up basements?That is not shown in the very neat picture
above. At the abovewebsite address, the figures also show that the
TOTAL amount of wateron site being stored has been dropping over the
last three months,maybe much longer. There are no new tanks being
build anymore threeyears into this mega disaster. Why not? Nothing
has changed as far asthe leaks, the amount of water they are pouring
over the brokenreactors and the amount that is leaking out of them.
The undergroundcoriums are still there, contaminating all the
groundwater they arein contact with.
The
leaks from the basements, the leaks fromthe reactors, the leaks from
the tanks, all continue on without anyattempt to stop them. The
underground coriums continue to interactwith the groundwater, and
that highly radioactive water continues toflow into the ocean, non
stop. There is no attempt to even find outwhere they are. As of 2014,
things are getting much worse and aregoing backward, as far as what
is going into the Pacificocean.

TOTAL
RADIATION RELEASED INTO GROUND WATER
UNKNOWN
-There are no estimates, no one is studying it, no one is
monitoringit. So far, no one seems to care.
There
are two mainconcerns. First, the 3 or more melted100 ton blobs of
highlyradioactive corium went out of the 1-3 reactor buildings and
they arenow underground, in contact with groundwater.
The
Fukushimasite is turning out to be much like Hanford with all of its
cover-upsand secret spills, leaks, and underground aquifer
contamination.

NO
ONE is counting the total of ALL OF THE ABOVE. No one iscounting or
tracking ongoing radiation releases. We are NOT countingwhat is in
the large radioactive water storage tanks on site.
NOONE
is counting radioactive water that went underground. NO ONE
iscounting the radiation released from and still being released
intothe air, groundwater and ocean from the two nuclear explosions at
#3reactor and spent fuel pool.. Both of these sources of
radiationrelease have way more tonnage of highly dangerous Plutonium
andUranium MOX fuel.
MOX
fuel is about 1 million times moredangerous than plain old Chernobyl
style fuel, and this MOX fuel wentup into the air and down into the
ground, where the coriums areleaking their radiation into the ocean,
directly.. This FACT is NOTin any calculations or guesses, as far as
how much radiation is goinginto the ocean, but the amounts are
massive and will go on forever.

Under- Reporting Of Fukushima Radiation
Cesium
has beenfound at 1,000 times higher concentrations in places like
Tokyo thanthe air concentration at the peak of nuclear weapons
testingfallout.. This is serious fallout, but is being ignored by
Japaneseauthorities, who are looking only at exterior dose rates, and
nothingelse. For more information about radiation levels in Tokyo
Japan,click on the following link.
Tokyo;
Is It Safe To Visit or Live In?
Thereis
a very serious radioactive contamination in Tokyo. There was aplace
in Tokyo that has higher levels of radiation than in theChernobyl
exclusion zone, but Japan is covering this up completely.
……………….
AGRP
has not seen any counts yet,that total ALL radioactive emissions from
FUKU, based on realisticscenarios. NO actual data from monitoring
equipment has been releasedyet.
The
dangers from just ONE spent fuel pool at FukushimaDaichi that is in
very serious trouble, boggles the mind. If SpentFuel Pool #4 falls
over, it will cause a cascade effect that may verywell result in the
extinction of all life on the planet.
Again, mostmass media news
outlets are not covering this danger and Japan'sinaction around it.

This nuclear
disaster site is threatening the world's population, but (sofar) no
other world government seems to be interested in learningwhat the
truth is, or even in helping to control and clean up thesituation
there. Much could be done, but so far, very little is beingdone.
There
are NO battery or solar powered communitycontrolled radiation
monitors downwind, and none on the ‘vent’stacks at any of the 400
nuclear power plants around the world, eventoday. All nuclear
reactors and nuclear power plants are nuclearbombs, barely controlled
and slowed down by 'experts'.

Whenaccidents
happen, what typically happens is that these monitors'fail' or turn
off. Thus, no one can really tell how much radiationwas released, and
the company can claim it was 'only a small amount',because no one can
prove otherwise.

ONE has yet even attempted to TOTAL ALL OF THE ABOVE,much less what

Reporting anything
less is NOT SCIENTIFIC. Those who have declared with greatcertainty
that Fukushima is only 10% of Chernobyl are making hugefools of
themselves and their reputations, because there is noaccurate and
completely scientific information about the total amountof radiation
that has come out of Fukushima from 3/11 to present day.The
scientists that use 'computer models' to downplay this megadisaster
are
This
mega disaster with 3 China Syndrome coriumsis just starting, and it
will get worse from here. Follow the dramaand see how it will play
out, despite the huge global coverup in progress. Mother Nature has a
way of teaching lessons. It may takeawhile, but AGRP believes that
the truth will eventually come out viathe consequences that will
affect human, animal and plant populationsnot just in Japan, but all
around the world. AGRP just hopes that thetruth comes out and this
sad situation is dealt with.
Why isn't
TEPCO even trying to find the 'missing' coriums?
