14,210 Bq/Kg of cesium beside school in Chiba

 

Noda city Chiba measured 14,210 Bq/Kg and 8,650 Bq/Kg of cesium from soil taken in street gutters beside schools, announced on 4/24/2012.

On 4/17/2012, Noda city took samples from street gutters beside 6 elementary schools and 2 junior high schools. They measured 14,210 Bq/Kg and 8,650 Bq/Kg of cesium at 2 of 8 locations but it is not announced where those 2 locations are.

Noda city government built temporary storage facility to stock contaminated soil, which contains more than 8,000 Bq/Kg of cesium in the area of city hall. One storage facility can contain 20m3 of soil, they are going to prepare a few of them and accept contaminated soil from next month.

Noda city did not decontaminate street gutters because they don’t have final disposal site.

 

 

千葉県野田市は4/24、セシウム14,210 Bq/Kg と 8,650 Bq/Kg を市内の学校近くの道路側溝の汚泥から検出
したと発表しました。

野田市は4/17、市内の6つの小学校および2つの中学校の付近の道路溝の側溝の汚泥を調査しました。高濃度のセシウムが検出された2箇所がこのうちのどこかは明らかにされていません。

野田市は8,000Bq/Kg以上が検出された汚泥を収容できる仮置き場市役所の敷地内に設けることに決めました。この容器は一つ20立法メートルを収容でき、市は数十基の容器を発注して来月から一時保管を受け付ける予定です。

市はこれまで、産業廃棄物処理業者が最終処分場を確保できないため、道路溝の除染や清掃を行ってきませんでした。

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.
