Hot Particles From Japan to Seattle Virtually Undetectable when Inhaled or Swallowed Fairewinds via Rense. Video at link.
Original estimates of xenon and krypton releases remain the same, but a TEPCO recalculation shows dramatic increases in the release of hot particles. This confirms the results of air filter monitoring by independent scientists. Fairewinds' Arnie Gundersen explains how hot particles may react in mammals while escaping traditional detection. Reports of a metallic taste in the mouth, such as those now being reported in Japan and on the west coast, are a telltale sign of radiation exposure.
This is not limited to Japan or the West Coast. It started here in Missouri on March 22. It was still cold, or cooler, and almost no one else was outdoors, outside. I was jogging three to five times a week, and March 22nd was the first day I remember tasting the metallic.. edge to the air. This taste lingered in the air until mid April, and has happened infrequently since. Between the running and the yard work, I have tasted metallic for quite a few days. I got a little freaked out when I became aware of the taste, but then I figured I was over-reacting.
This is a little disconcerting.
TEPCO reprimanded over 2 workers' high radiation
Japan’s nuclear safety officials reprimanded the operator of Japan’s tsunami-damaged power plant Friday and demanded an investigation of how two workers were exposed to radiation more than twice a government-set limit.
The government also ordered the utility to reduce workers’ risks of heat-related illnesses as concerns grow about the health risks faced by the people toiling to get the Fukushima Daiichi plant under control.

TEPCO releases photo showing damage to No. 4 reactor building Mainichi Daily News via Rense.
Earlier the company had released footage showing work to remotely measure the temperature of the pool for spent fuel at the No. 4 reactor, but the latest photo marks the first time since the March 11 earthquake and tsunami for the company to release a picture showing the inside of the reactor building.
The No. 4 reactor was hit by a hydrogen explosion on March 15, as well as fires on two occasions. The generator in the structure was used for a reactor recirculation pump and is thought to be the source of the fires.

Japanese back nuke free future - poll
ALMOST three-quarters of Japanese respondents to a newspaper poll favour a gradual phase-out of nuclear energy in the wake of the Fukushima atomic accident.
The Asahi Shimbun daily said in its weekend opinion poll that only 14 per cent were against such a gradual reduction.
The poll also showed 64 per cent of respondents believed "natural energy" such as wind and solar power would replace nuclear power in the future, while 24 percent said they did not think so.
