45 Bq/Kg of Cs-134/137 detected from farm soil in Chiba prefecture

A citizen’s radiation measurement station named “Fujimi-ru” reported they measured 44.7 Bq/Kg of Cs-134/137 from farm soil. The sample was collected in Kimitsu city of Chiba prefecture (0 ~ 10cm deep). Sampling date was this November.

Cs-134 density was 15.8 Bq/Kg, Cs-137 density was 42.8 Bq/Kg.

The analyst comments the reading did not significantly change from last year to suggest the decreasing rate is very slow.

 

All kinds of the agricultural products are allowed to be shipped from this city partially except only Shiitake mushroom.

45 Bq/kg de Cs-134/137 dans le sol d’une ferme de la préfecture de Chiba

 

La station privée de surveillance de la radioactivité “Fujimi-ru” rapporte avoir relevé 44,7 Bq/kg de Cs-134/137 dans le sol d’une ferme. L’échantillon a été pris dans la commune de Kimitsu de la préfecture de Chiba (de 0 à 10 cm d’épaisseur). Il a été ramassé en novembre dernier.

La radioactivité en Cs-134 est de 15,8 Bq/kg, celle du Cs-137 de 42,8 Bq/kg.
L’analyste déclare que les lectures n’ont pas significativement changé depuis l’an dernier ce qui suggère que la diminution est très lente.

Cette commune a l’autorisation d’expédier tous ses produits agricoles, les champignons Shiitake mis à part.

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.
