Hot particles blown up

Following up this article..130μSv/h in Minamisoma

In Minamisoma, where the highly radioactive black substance was found, seasonal wind is blowing from the west.

Hot particles are taken into lungs, eyes and ears cause serious internal exposure.

This is why measuring atmospheric dose is not useful.

In this video, radiation level is not measured but I think it is important to see how soil and dust are blown up by the wind.

↓ The soil blown from farms to the city area.

 

↓ Dust blown up in play ground of a junior high school.

黒い物質が発見された南相馬市では、西からの強い季節風によって田畑の乾燥した土が舞い上げられ市街地に吹き込んでいます。

中学校の校庭でも同様の巻き上げが見られ、黒い物質を吸い込むことによる内部被曝が懸念されます。これらの巻き上げは深刻な内部被曝を引き起こすにもかかわらず空間線量にあまり影響を与えないため、観測が難しくなっています。

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.
