Former Tepco employee, “470Bq/kg from child’s clothes, 130Bq/Kg from hair in Minamisoma”

Mr. Yoshida, a former Tepco employee held a press conference on 1/18/2013.

He stated 470 Bq/Kg was measured from the clothes of children, and 130 Bq/Kg was measured from hair in Minamisoma.

It’s converted to be 0.8μSv/h. Children in Minamisoma Fukushima are exposed to 0.8μSv/h in addition to the atmospheric dose and internal exposure.

 

On Jan 18th, prior to the third trial of the Sendai Supreme Court、the Fukushima Evacuee Trail Group held a press conference at the Council Hall. In the conference Kunihiro Yoshida, who lives in Minamisoma Fukushima north of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, and who directs the Relief and Safety Project, reported the result of his research on the contamination of the children’s clothes.

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.
