今日、福島市のご自宅の線量を計った方から連絡が。雨樋の下の数値の写メ。先月は9.6μSv/hだったのが、14.3μSv/hに上がっていたという。降雪の影響か、都市濃縮か。。。(Source)

Translation:
got a message from a person who measured radiation in Fukushima. The picture is the ground under the gutter. It was 9.6 microSv/h last month but it was increased to 14.3 microSv/h this month. Maybe it’s because of the snow or city concentration..

Whether it is from rain / snow or city concentration, it means radiation does not go away.

If it keeps accumulating at this pace it would be around 20 microSv/h next month.

We must keep our eyes on the situation.

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.
