SPEEDI予測「公表できない」 文科省文書に記載
2012年3月3日 02時23分
東京電力福島第1原発事故5日目の昨年3月15日、緊急時迅速放射能影響予測ネットワークシステム(SPEEDI)による放射性物質の拡散予測について、当時の高木義明文部科学相ら政務三役や文科省幹部が協議し「一般にはとても公表できない内容と判断」と記した内部文書が作成されていたことが2日、同省関係者への取材で分かった。
文科省は「事務方が作ったメモだが不正確。公表の具体的な判断はしなかった」と内容を一部否定している。
事故直後のSPEEDIの試算公表をめぐる文科省の議事録などは公表されていなかった。

About this site

This website updates the latest news about the Fukushima nuclear plant and also archives the past news from 2011. Because it's always updated and added live, articles, categories and the tags are not necessarily fitted in the latest format.
I am the writer of this website. About page remains in 2014. This is because my memory about 311 was clearer than now, 2023, and I think it can have a historical value. Now I'm living in Romania with 3 cats as an independent data scientist.
Actually, nothing has progressed in the plant since 2011. We still don't even know what is going on inside. They must keep cooling the crippled reactors by water, but additionally groundwater keeps flowing into the reactor buildings from the broken parts. This is why highly contaminated water is always produced more than it can circulate. Tepco is planning to officially discharge this water to the Pacific but Tritium is still remaining in it. They dilute this with seawater so that it is legally safe, but scientifically the same amount of radioactive tritium is contained. They say it is safe to discharge, but none of them have drunk it.
