Minamisoma is 122 times more contaminated than mandatory evacuation zone in Belarus

Mr. Oyama, a Minamisoma city councilor measured cesium 134 / 137 of the soil of Minamisoma city.

南相馬市議会議員の大山こういち氏が南相馬市内の土からセシウム134、137を検出しました。

The analysis was done by a laboratory of Minamisoma local government.

分析は市の研究所によって行われました。

The result is like this graph below.

結果は以下のグラフの通りです。

The most left “bar” is the doubled limit of mandatory evacuation zone in Belarus. (2*1,480,000Bq/m2). It was needed for the 2 reasons.

一番左の”棒”は、ベラルーシの移住義務ゾーンの基準(148万Bq/m2)を2倍にしたものです。 この理由は以下の2点です。

1. Otherwise it is too small to recognize on this graph.

2倍にしないと小さすぎて見えない。

2. Because the limit of 1,480,000Bq/m2 is only cesium137. By doubling the figure, it gets close to the total of cesium 137 and 134.

ベラルーシの基準がセシウム137のみであるのに対して、今回検出されたサンプルはセシウム134と137の合算であるため、ベラルーシの値を2倍にすることでセシウム134と137の合算に近づけた。

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.
