Concern: Radioactive water was found to be leaking in the Fukushima power plan as workers worked on stabilising the plant
Less than two months ago the crippled Japanese nuclear power plant at Fukushima was declared stable.
Yet now it has emerged that radioactive water is continuing to leak at the stricken site. These were spotted by workers at the reprocessing areas and were found to release enough beta rays that can lead to radiation sickness.
A series of nuclear meltdowns at the power plant were triggered by the Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami on March 11, 2011.
The organisation charged with keeping the site under control is the Tokyo Electric Power Company, and their spokesman Junichi Matsumoto said that no one was injured and the leak stopped after bolts were tightened on a tank.
Matsumoto said TEPCO also found that 8.5
tons of radioactive water had leaked earlier in the week after a pipe
became detached at Unit 4, one of the plant’s six reactors.
The company
earlier had estimated that only a few gallons had leaked.
He said officials are investigating the
cause of that leak, but that it was unlikely the pipe had been loosened
by the many aftershocks that have hit the plant.
The structural integrity of the damaged Unit 4 reactor building has long been a major concern among experts because a collapse of its spent fuel cooling pool could cause a disaster worse than the three reactor meltdowns.
Cold winter weather has also caused water inside pipes to freeze elsewhere at the plant, resulting in leaks in at least 30 locations since late January, Matsumoto said.
Devastation: The tsunami struck Fukushima back in March 2011 causing mass panic – and evidently problems still persist

Officials have not detected any signs of radioactive water from the leaks reaching the surrounding ocean. Sandbag walls have been built around problem areas as a precaution.
More than 100,000 people around the plant fled their homes after the disaster due to radiation fears.
The government announced in December that the plant had reached “a cold shutdown condition” and is now essentially stable.
On Monday, six inspectors from the government’s Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency will begin an inspection of the plant to ensure its continued stability.
They will study the reactors’ cooling functions and measures to prevent explosions and nuclear chain reactions, among other steps to keep the plant under control, officials said.

It is tragic that Nuclear energy was ever discovered, to allow mere humans to fool around with such power is like giving a Monkey a Gold Watch.

The plant is definitely not in cold shutdown. Three reactors are in melt-thru (below the ground) and Unit 4 which contains more radiation than Units 1,2 and 3 combined is ready to fall down.
Tokyo is uninhabitable and will get worse over time. Parts of Russia, China, South Korea, the U.S. West Coast and Europe are highly radioactive and also getting worse over time through bio-accumulation (and biomagnification).
Fish are not safe to eat in the Northern Hemisphere, and they weren’t safe before the disaster either.
The truth is a little hard to bear, especially for the nuclear industry and their shills.
The real data is available from Pachube (Citizens Radiation Monitoring Network) and discussed at length on various news aggregator sites, like enenews.com. The real story: hot particles, and over 1,000 different isotopes – constantly streaming into the air from these open melt-thrus for almost a year now . Fairewinds.com explains this well.

I was in Tokyo 2 months after the disaster and every morning whilst there I was blowing blood.- ni, na, 04/2/2012 15:13
If true then you should have gone to the hospital to see what was wrong with you. Fukushima is over 170 miles away from Tokyo, and at that distance they could have set off a nuclear warhead and you wouldn’t suffer any radiation sickness. There is no possible way you had enough radiation to cause you to “blow blood”.

I was in Tokyo 2 months after the disaster and every morning whilst there I was blowing blood. I wonder how many people had similar symptoms or any other symptoms we were not told about. Of course, the government and even the Japanese contributors on TripAdvisor kept saying how safe and back to normal Japan is. One even bullied me for telling my experiences there.

First an earthquake, then a tsunami, then fires, explosions, failure etc and the nett result? No deaths directly attributed to the nuclear power station. If nuclear power stations can survive disasters such as the Fukishima plant did – and, let us not forget that this power station wasn’t exactly ‘state-of-the-art’ in the first place – what possible objections can environmentalists have to us building more? I would suspect more people have died putting up/operating wind farms than have ever died because of a nuclear power plant.

Another good continuous source of information about the ongoing situation
(compared to our own media) is the Japanese broadcaster NHK, which is available
on Freesat HD in English.

What language is this: “Yet now it has emerged that radioactive water is continuing to leak at the stricken site. These were spotted by workers at the reprocessing areas and were found to release enough beta rays that can lead to radiation sickness.” – it certainly isn’t English. ‘water’ = ‘these’? Beta particles or beta rays?

With testing being done deep below the earth’s crust along with scientific genetic experimentation, one wonders how long before this world is no more. The fragile ecco system finally atuned as mother nature intended is being put at risk, talk of part animal human research said to be experimental wonder if that is what is savaging the animals …………..terrifying thought.

What they need is a jumbo sized carpet, large enough to sweep the whole lot underneath, or has TEPCO already tried doing that?
