Cs137 in Pacific ocean 500~800km from Fukushima, “10 times higher than norm”. The Voice of Russia, via Fukushima Diary.
Russian scientists find radiation off Fukushima coast
Russian scientists have detected radiation in the north-west of the Pacific Ocean at a distance between 500-800 km to the east from Japan’s troubled Fukushima-1 nuclear power plant.
The expedition of the Russian geographical society has detected that the concentration of cesium-137 in that area exceeds the norm 10 times.
This is the first time when concentration of cesium 137 was found in the local sea waters while the air is clean.
The level of radiation near the Russian coast is normal.
In March 2011, a powerful earthquake and tsunami caused a nuclear disaster at the Fukushima-1 NPP.
More than 1000Bq/Kg was measured in 99.4% of a village area in no-man’s-zone. Now that's thorough coverage! Also from Fukushima Diary.
It’s desperate to try to restart farming in Fukushima, especially in 30km area.
They measured more than 1,000 Bq/Kg of cesium from more than 99% areas in Katsuraomura Fukushima.
Katsuraomura is in Futaba gun, no-man’s-land in Fukushima, where is 26km from Fukushima plant.
The local government divided the village area into 1038 of 100m×100m areas, took 5 samples from each 100m×100m area to calculate each average. The measurement was done from May to July of 2012.
Hazard area and highly radioactive areas were excluded.
The result was like this below,
~ 1,000 Bq/Kg : 6 locations
1,000 ~ 4,999 Bq/Kg : 626 locations
5,000 ~ 9,999 Bq/Kg : 354 locations
10,000 Bq/Kg ~ : 52 locations
Min : 742 Bq/Kg
Max : 18,890 Bq/kg
In 99.4% of the village area, they measured more than 1,000 Bq/Kg from soil.
They measured more than 5,000 Bq/Kg in 39% of the village area, which they need to remove the surface soil.
However, the village headman still thinks it can be resolved by decontamination to state like this below,
「村内の広範囲が汚染されている。国に農地除染をしっかり行うよう要請する」
Yukio "There is no immediate effect on health" Edano, Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry who will have technically lost his portfolio on nuclear issues come September 19 (when the new Nuclear Regulatory Commission under Goshi Hosono's ministry takes over the nuclear regulatory oversight from NISA), approved the resumption of construction of two new reactors.
So much for the Noda administration's "pledge" to have zero nuclear power plant operating in 2030. (We're just shocked. Shocked, aren't we?)
Good to see Edano's concern is with his fellow countrymen, not his stock portfolio..
Fukushima Worker Tweets: No progress has been made — We don’t know what is really going on inside Reactors 1, 2 and 3 Enenews:
“I offered a silent prayer for the 18th time today. A year and a half has passed but we don’t know what is really going on inside the R1, 2 & 3. No progress has been made.”
Let's end things on a high note: Crowd Gasps as Mother of Fukushima Worker Speaks: Many young people are passing bloody urine at plant — “I want you to know this truth” (VIDEO) Enenews. Video at the link..[]

Mother of Fukushima Worker: [...] Because of my son and other young workers who commute everyday to Fukuichi and evacuation zone to decontaminate. You are able to live today. Don’t forget!
My daughter’s friend is continuing to work at Fukuichi even though he is passing bloody urine.
[Crowd Gasps]
There are many children like that [on site].
I want you to know this truth.
Enjoy your weekend..
