More honest Cs-137 map

PNAS-2011-Yasunari-1112058108

Apart from the radiation map of Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, the international team of USRA, Nagoya university, and Tokyo university simulated the spreading of cesium-137 from 3/20~4/20.

Though there are some questions, such as why it’s from 3/20, not 3/11, and it has already happened so, it’s not even a “simulation”, they calculated the whole amount of cesium-137 which fell on Japanese island from 3/20 to 4/20 is only 1,000 Tera Bq or a bit more.

They stated it spread out to western Japan and Hokkaido too because of the storms.

There is nowhere to escape in Japan.

The video below is when a person measured radiation at the furthest and remote northern point in Hokkaido, Soya misaki.

The counter showed 0.431 micro Sv/h at the maximum. It might have been affected by granite, but actually even when the counter is in the air, it showed about 0.14 micro Sv/h, which is as high as in Tokyo.

The reporter guesses it might be because of the tourist to take to plume on their shoes.

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.
