2040 Bq/kg from officially uncontaminated disaster debris

 

In the end of July, 2040 Bq/Kg of cesium was measured from disposal ash of power generating facility “Yamagata green power”. They accepted 1400 tones of wood debris from Kesennuma city Miyagi through waste disposal company in Yamagata, “Yamagata green cycle” which is for woody biomass fuel.
They didn’t detect cesium from the wood debris.

 

去年7月末、やまがたグリーンパワーの発電施設での燃えかすから2040Bq/Kgのセシウムが検出されていたことがわかりました。これはやまがたグリーンサイクルを通して受け入れた気仙沼市の木くず約1400トンで、木質バイオマス燃料として活用されたものですが、搬入時には放射性物質は不検出だったということです。

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.
