[Jap gov uses inferior radiation counter on purpose]

国が使用している計測器は、元々「ガンマ線」しか検知できない測定器。しかしチェルノブイリ事故後に市販されてるウクライナ製の測定器は、内部被曝に注視しなければならない地表面の「ベーター線やアルファー線」も検出が可能だ。つまり国は原発事故用の測定器を使っていない。ここが非常に不信感。

When it comes to internal exposure,we need to be more careful about alpha ray and beta ray.Strontium emits beta ray,which causes leukemia.Plutonium emits mostly alpha ray.
After Chernobyl,Ukraine gov used radiation counter which can detect those two types of ray,but current Japanese gov only uses the lowest class of the counter that can check only gamma ray.

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.
