Sawdust. It's not the first thing most people would choose to put between themselves and highly contaminated radioactive water. But a mixture of sawdust — ogakuzu in Japanese — with chemicals and shredded newspaper is precisely what nuclear safety authorities and power plant officials turned to...

The operator of the crippled Fukushima complex begins releasing 11,500 tons of radioactive water into the Pacific to make room in storage tanks for even more highly contaminated water. The government says the release does not pose an immediate threat to humans. Like a thief in the night the...

THERE is a lake so radioactive you will die if you just LOOK into it for a few hours - and it's 130km from Ireland. Below the surface lies material so unstable it will explode if the air gets at it. It is so toxic it pollutes the wind that blows over it. So lethal that seagulls must be shot if...

Japan: TEPCO to release 11,500 tons of nuclear radioactive water into the Pacific Ocean declaring the water to be dumped contains only low levels of radioactivity. In reality the water about to be dumped is highly radioactive as I point out below. Breaking from Kyodo News: TOKYO, April 4, Kyodo...

So now they are not even bothering to try to store the radioactive water just dump it straight into the ocean !

Independent scientists are warning, contrary to statements from the talking heads on corporate media outlets who say Japan is not Chernobyl, the levels of radioactive material being released in from Japan’s nuclear fallout already rivals Chernobyl Levels. News of the high levels of radioactive...

TOKYO — Workers’ desperate struggle to plug a gush of highly contaminated water from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power station, using sawdust, shredded newspaper and an absorbent powder, appeared to be failing early Monday as the radiation threat from the crippled plant continued to spread...

All across this nation. Such a strange radiation. It's not just this generation. Stuck with this contamination. People in motion. What a commotion. Run for the hills. Start popping them pills. Start checking your friends. See if there hot. Before you can bop. If there hot then better not...

Link RemovedMembers of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force spray water onto the wharf of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. Workers pumped concrete into a leaking pit holding power cables near reactor No. 2 Saturday in an attempt to stop a leak of radioactive water. (Japan Ministry of...

The soil samples should normally be 100 Bequrels. The Japanese governments safety standard is 500 Bequrels. If the soil is contaminated with 20000000 Bequrels of radio active isotopes this is 19999500 Above the government safety standard. If as NHK is reporting this is the number detected, the...

Radioactive water is leaking into the sea from a 20-centimetre (8-inch) crack in a containment pit at Japan's quake-hit Fukushima nuclear plant, its operator Tepco has said. The crack under reactor 2 may be the source of recent radiation in coastal waters, Tepco officials said. Tepco is...

Radiation in seawater at new high Radiation 4,385 times higher than the legal standard has been detected in seawater at a location 330 meters south of the troubled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant. Tokyo Electric Power Company says 180 becquerels per cubic centimeter of radioactive iodine-131...
