Rather bad news, but no surprise for my part,
L'Usine Nouvelle wrote:Fukushima: areas prohibited for several years
August 22, 2011 Usine Nouvelle

The aftermath of Fukushima could last for several decades. This is what the Japanese media suggest on August 22.

Relying on official sources, the Yomiuri newspaper estimates that "the areas within a radius of three kilometers around the Fukushima Daïichi plant will probably be kept out of access for a long period". This situation could lead to the government buying back certain land from residents in order to store radioactive waste, including debris and contaminated sludge from the plant..

These announcements confirm recent analyzes carried out by the Ministry of Science and Technology. They pointed out that the radioactivity rates were five times higher than the legal limit of 20 millisieverts per year in 15 of the 50 observation stations installed within this perimeter.

"I cannot deny the fact that it may be difficult for residents of some areas to return home for a long time, confirmed government spokesman Yukia Edano. I deeply apologize." After the Fukushima disaster, the Japanese authorities demarcated a compulsory evacuation zone within a radius of 20 km around the plant. In total, more than 85 people had to leave their homes for reception centers or prefabricated housing.

Prime Minister Naoto Kan is scheduled to visit the Fukushima region on August 27 to apologize to the evacuees. Due to his unpopularity since the tsunami of March 11, he must then leave power and will be replaced next week by the sixth Prime Minister in five years in Japan.

that's it, the truth begins to emerge.

We will remember in France the speeches of the state-industrial lobby "no Japan is not going through a nuclear disaster" when the coriums and other gutted roofs were already stacking their infamous curls.

To die of laughter, or something else :?

Thanks Remondo,
I notice that at 21 km from the power stations, there is no more radio activity.

A European directive adopted at the end of July requires European states to speed up their deep burial programs for radioactive waste. The Bure (Meuse) site could thus receive waste from neighboring countries.


It is true, we do not have enough sea.es in France which we do not know what to do, it is absolutely necessary to store that of others at home ...... As usual, a handful of corrupt bastards s' put their pockets in it by putting the safety of the population at stake .... that's normal, we live in a democrackto you.

First signs of stabilization for the Fukushima reactors

September 05, 2011 by Barbara Leblanc



Almost six months after the Japanese earthquake occurred, the electricity company managing the Fukushima power station estimates that the situation is improving

The temperature of reactors 1 and 3 of the Fukuhisma nuclear power plant is now below 100 degrees Celsius. A major step towards stabilizing the site, according to Tepco, in charge of managing the plant.

It is indeed the first time that the temperature measured in reactor 3 has dropped below the symbolic bar of 100 degrees since the start of the nuclear crisis on March 11. The operator ensures that its cooling method, which consists of directly showering the fuel in the reactor with cold water, is effective. It should apply the same system to reactor number two.

Cooling and maintaining the temperature of the four reactors below 100 degrees Celsius is a fundamental condition for stabilizing the site situation. A goal that the government intends to achieve by January 2012. In addition, there is also the control of releases of radioactive materials and the reduction of surrounding radioactivity.

This announcement comes on the same day that the new Japanese Minister of Industry reveals that the country will seek the opinion of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) before relaunching the nuclear reactors stopped as a precaution after the earthquake. Yoshio Hachiro also said that he hoped for a quick recovery of the reactors shut down for maintenance. Companies must file reports on reactor stress tests as quickly as possible, just to be able to take stock of the nuclear industry. Of 54 reactors, four fifths are currently shutdown.

"it goes away and it comes back ...."

http://www.romandie.com/news/n/Fukushim ... 110811.asp


The operator of the damaged nuclear power plant in Fukushima announced Wednesday that he had started injecting a mixture of water and boric acid into one of the reactors. The fuel could have melted there.

"We cannot rule out the possibility of a localized merger"

If at least by this sentence they meant that the place where the molten fuel is (more than 7 months after the start of this accident) is known precisely ...

But no, obviously, we do not know where the fuel is and we are unable to say in what state it is. As far as controlling it :|
