Breaking News: Radioactive plume is still falling

According to the research of Tokyo metropolitan institute of public health, there has not been radioactive plume detected since 5/14,but they detected 5.3Bq/㎡ Cesium134,5.1Bq/㎡ cesium137 on 8/5, 4.5Bq/㎡ cesium134,3.93Bq/㎡ cesium137 on 8/6.

There was no certain wind direction from 8/5 to 8/6 but you can tell the plume came from Fukushima.

Extremely high radiation level was detected at D/W last week.

Taking the huge steam/smoke and the light around the reactors into consideration,it might be rational to think the situation might have changed again.

In Autumn,dead leaves and the dust will be blown off,they are highly likely to contain cesium and other radioactive particles.

Also,contaminated rice will be mixed with less contaminated rice and come to the market for sure.

It will be harder and harder to live in Japan.

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.
