☢ Gundersen Radioactive Sulfur-35 = Nuclear Chain Reaction at Fukushima Daiichi Reactors ☢

Related to:
☢ Massive Amounts of Steam Video Aug 14 2011 During Daytime at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Reactors ☢
☢ Radioactive Steam Escaping - The Ground at Fukushima Facility is Cracking ☢
☢ Intense Fire and Smoke at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Reactors 22 Aug 2011 ☢
☢ Fukushimas China Syndrome With Radioactive Steam and Media Blackout ☢

Arnie Gundersen came out with a new video yesterday. People have been talking a lot about the smoke and steam that comes out from cracks at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Plant. Like today if you were to look at the live cam you would notice that the fog / steam around the reactors are so thick that the reactor units are not even seen on the cam.

The talk going around is that the nuclear core have melted through the containment and is now in contact with the groundwater, causing the smoke and steam that we see. Russia Today asked Mr. Gundersen to comment on this and he declined. Because to him there isn't good solid engineering data to make any conclusive remarks on the situation, Gundersen says he don't think there is enough data to either support or refute it. And I would probably do the same if I where in his position at this point.

Gundersen goes on to talk about much more important issues, like the finding of radioactive Sulfur-35 in the atmosphere in California. The finding have been confirmed but why there was radioactive Sulfur-35 have been left out. It turns out that when saltwater is radiated with neutrons it turns into Sulfur-35. What this means is that a nuclear chain reaction is still going on to some extent and continue to contaminate the surronding environment and upper atmosphere with large doses of radioactivity. TEPCO on the other hand have stated that it's reactors have been shutdown. But this can't be the case if Sulfur-35 is found in the air.


This is the text from Fairewinds site.

Newly released neutron data from three University of California San Diego scientists confirms Fairewinds' April analysis that the nuclear core at Fukushima Daiichi turned on and off after TEPCO claimed its reactors had been shutdown. This periodic nuclear chain reaction (inadvertent criticality) continued to contaminate the surrounding environment and upper atmosphere with large doses of radioactivity.

In a second area of concern, Fairewinds disagrees the NRC's latest report claiming that all Fukushima spent fuel pools had no problems following the earthquake. In a new revelation, the NRC claims that the plutonium found more than 1 mile offsite actually came from inside the nuclear reactors. If such a statement were true, it indicates that the nuclear power plant containments failed and were breached with debris landing far from the power plants themselves. Such a failure of the containment system certainly necessitates a complete review of all US reactor containment design and industry assurances that containments will hold in radioactivity in the event of a nuclear accident. The evidence Fairewinds reviewed to date continues to support its April analysis that the detonation in the Unit 3 Spent Fuel pool was the cause of plutonium found off site.

Third, the burning of radioactive materials (building materials, trees, lawn grass, rice straw) by the Japanese government will cause radioactive Cesium to spread even further into areas within Japan that have been previously clean, and across the Pacific Ocean to North America.

And finally, the Japanese government has yet to grasp the severity of the contamination within Japan, and therefore has not developed a coherent plan mitigate the accident and remediate the environment. Without a cohesive plan to deal with this ongoing problem of large scale radioactive contamination, the radioactivity will continue to spread throughout Japan and around the globe further exacerbating the problem and raising costs astronomically.

☢ 6.8 Earthquake Hit Japan With Epicenter off Fukushima Prefecture Very Quiet At Reactor Units Since☢

☢ Fire and Smoke at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant Aug. 6 2011 ☢ UPDATE ☢
☢ Gundersen Radioactive Sulfur-35 = Nuclear Chain Reaction at Fukushima Daiichi Reactors ☢

You can read the news below but I want to share something with you first. The earthquake that hit August 19, 2011 14:36 Local Time can be seen here on the live cam of the Fukushima reactor units. Around 1:46 min into the video we see  the whole camera shake from the earthquake. Because the 1 hour video is compressed to 3 min the earthquake goes by quick on cam. However I read a very interesting thing from Sickputer on enenews. He noted that since the earthquake the whole plant was very quiet. And this is true. There have not been any "burning" going on. Or the normal fog / steam coming from the reactors. It's been quiet. Very quite.

To me this confirms some of the things that we have been seeing on the live cam. That TEPCO is indeed burning the radioactive material on site. But because of the earthquake the work with burning the radioactive material have come to a halt. For the moment it's quiet, I guess we only have to wait and see if they continue to burn the nuclear waste.

Published: Friday, Aug. 19, 2011 - 1:00 am

TOKYO - A magnitude-6.8 earthquake jolted north-eastern Japan on Friday and a tsunami warning was issued, the Meteorological Agency said.

The warning was issued for the coastal areas in the prefectures of Fukushima and Miyagi.

No immediate casualties or damage were reported.

The quake occurred at 2:36 pm (0536GMT) with its epicenter off Fukushima prefecture at a depth of 20 kilometers, the agency said.

No immediate new damage was found at the damaged Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, public broadcaster NHK said, citing operator Tokyo Electric Power Company.

The same region was hit by a magnitude-9.0 quake and tsunami on March 11, causing damage to the plant, which has been leaking radioactive material ever since.

☢ Tokyo Radioactivity Extreme Sample Higher Than Chernobyl Exclusion Zone ☢

Earlier related posts:

Christopher Busby visiting professor at the University of Ulster’s school of biomedical sciences and scientific secretary of the European Committee on Radiation Risk talks to RT about the saftey of the reactors. Due to the fact the Fukushima units were in meltdown before the tsunami hit.

Prof. Christopher Busby goes on to say "There’s a very, very high level of contamination even as far south as Tokyo. For example, we found one sample in Tokyo that had levels of radioactivity higher than levels inside the Chernobyl exclusion zone. a Very serious matter."


RT: Now in Japan the government and the plants operator TEPCO have come under heavy criticism from many quarters for the reliability of the information they have been releasing about this disaster. Do you think that we now know the true extent of this crisis?

Prof. Christopher Busby: No, I know that we don't, because I have actually visited there and I have taken quite sufisticated radiation measuring equipment. And I have been able to satisfy myself that the concentrations of radionuclides on ground even as far as 100 and more kilometers away from the plant are very much higher than they have been saying. 

And indeed some measurements that I have been making on airfilters from vehicles from as far away as Tokyo show that the concentrations of caesium 137 for example in these filters is more than 1000 times higher in terms of air concentration than the air concentration that the peak of the weapons fallout in 1963. So we are talking about serious, serious levels of radioactive nuclides. And the problem is that this is effectively being ignored by the authorities concentrating on the external dose rates. So they say, so long as the external dose rate is not more than so many Micro Sieverts Per Hour or whatever it happens to be, everybody is going to be safe.

In some sense they are comparing it with natural background radiation. But actually it can not be compared with natural background radiation. There a very high levels of contamination even as far south as Tokyo. For example, we found one sample in Tokyo that had levels of radioactivity higher than levels inside the Chernobyl exclusion zone. It's a very serious matter.

RT:  So professor Busby how serious are these new cracks to the structure of the Fukushima plant. Should we be alarmed?

Prof. Christopher Busby: Well the fact that steam coming out, and we know from measurements made in California that the steam contains the Isotope Sulfur 35. This Isotope is associated with neutron radiation of chlorine and so what we got here is a cituation were you got fission taking place, an enormous neutron concentration, neutron flux and seawater. And effectively we are producing very large quantities of radionuclides all the time and they havn't been able to deal with that. I was told by somebody who had heard this from a TEPCO official who was talking to the prime minister of Japan who said that the releases from the plant now in the order of 10 to the power of 13 becquerels every hour. So (laugh) we are talking about something that is absolutley ongoing and it's just being ignored. It's not being adequipley reported by the authorities in Japan or in the International Atomic Energy Agency

RT:  M'kay more in time, Christopher Busby scientific secretary of the European Committee on Radiation Risk, many thanks for speaking to us this evening.

☢ Massive Amounts of Steam Video Aug 14 2011 During Daytime at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Reactors ☢

UPDATE Prof. Christopher Busby:
☢ Tokyo Radioactivity Extreme Sample Higher Than Chernobyl Exclusion Zone ☢
UPDATE RT NEWS:
☢ Radioactive Steam Escaping - The Ground at Fukushima Facility is Cracking ☢
I did a post earlier about this
☢ The Reason Behind the Fog at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Reactors ☢

11:30 Local Daytime on August 14 2011 the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Reactors Units were again engulfed in fog. What makes this video special is it's during daytime. So we really get so see the steam coming out from the reactor units this time.

The crane is at work and in the beginnig of the video we can clearly see the crane working. By the end of the video though, the crane has almost disappeared in steam. There have been that same flashing light going on these last couple of days also, so this could also mean that this is the Common Spent Fuel Storage Facility that's blowing steam. Then by the end of the day there were some more steam going out at 18:00.

☢ The Battle of Chernobyl - Best Documentary of the Nuclear Disaster of Chernobyl ☢

This documentary of the Chernobyl disaster is a MUST SEE! The Battle of Chernobyl is the best made movie so far. The Battle of Chernobyl contains rare original footage, pictures and good re-enactments. This along with interviews with political leaders, scientists, soldiers, journalist, photographer and several military personnel and real footage of the damaged nuclear reactor.

There are some very good comments made in this movie from the people involved. And this documentary is something you must watch to better understand the extent of the Fukushima disaster. The things the Russians did to prevent a second explosion is something many can't really grasp. The Battle of Chernobyl tells this story very well.

Movie Player


The Battle of Chernobyl tell us many important things about the situation at Fukushima Daiichi. We get to hear from a worker at reactor unit 4 about the beautiful colors going up into the night sky 1000 meters during the reactor explosion. The cover-up and Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachev the former Soviet statesman. Also rare footage from the town Pripyat the day after where we get to see the flashes on the camera during filming caused by radiation.


We get to hear from the brave workers called Bio-Robots recieving 1700 rads or 17.000.000 Millisieverts/Hr radiation levels when working on top of the reactor. They could only work for 45 sec at time before the radiation would be to much. Working with 30kg makeshift lead suits. Some had nosebleeds coming down afterwards. They felt like they had been sucked dry by a vampire. When their eyes started to hurt and they started to taste a metallic taste of lead in their mouths they knew that they had reacherd their limit. But they did their job even picking up the 15.000.000 Millisieverts/Hr contaminated concrete blocks with their hands trowing it of the reactors roof. In the end they had reduced the radiation levels with some 30%. Got a $100 bonus and a certificate. The Bio-Robots can't work anymore because the high radiation levels they were exposed to. Many not even in their 50s now are unable to make a living because of this.


The Bio-Robots were used because the radio controlled equipment, looking like something you would send to the moon that should do the job malfunctioned because the extreme radiation affected the electronics. Before this six hundred (600) helicopter pilots were employed to drop lead over the open reactor to help cool it down and put out the fire. All the pilots were exposed to lethal doses of radiation, and “all” six hundred pilots died.  

Not only did the pilots die, but as the lead vaporized with the heat, many people, including children in the city, inhaled high doses of lead. Since there was concern that the meltdown would contaminate the water table below, 2,500 miners were dispatched to manually dig below the plant to make way to encase the reactor core.  Half of those miners died, and many others became very ill with radiation sickness.

The work done and the cost of 18 Billion Dollars in todays money was important not only to limit the radioactive material from spreading around the world but also to prevent a second nuclear explosion. An explosion with the potential of rendering all of Europe uninhabitable. Some would say that the lead dropped in the reactor to try and cool it down were the wrong thing to do. But with the severity of the disaster it was the only right thing to do.

In all, it was said that 500,000 people (other accounts claim 600,000 people) were dispatched to the Chernobyl plant to contain the reactor, half of whom have died since then as a result of radiation exposure and today about 200,000 are on permanent disability due to sicknesses from their radiation exposure.

Again this is a must watch for anyone. Really well done documentary about the Chernobyl disaster. And I really hope you take what is said to heart. And look at what the Russians did in 1986.

Another MUST SEE documentary about the Fukushima disaster is this NHK Special.

What exactly was the extent of contamination caused by radiation from the Fukushima nuclear accident?

What is happening in the contaminated areas? This is a record of a two month survey conducted by scientists working close together.

☢ Fukushima Fires Continue with Lightning and Thunder Aug 8 2011 ☢

I did not watch the livecam yesterday of the Fukushima Nuclear Plant that close. But today looking at the videos taken there is a few things that I need to point out.

The last ☢ UPDATE 3 ☢ about the fires going on, I was talking about the possibillity that TEPCO is now burning the radioactive waste on the site causing the fires and smoke that we see on the livecam. Tell me what you think about that. The reason for this is to try and get rid of the more deadly radioactive hotspots on site so that the workers can continue to do what is needed.

There were alot of flashes on the livecam going on yesterday Aug. 8 2011 watching the live cam. So bright that it light up the sky and entire area. At first I thought that this was explosions caused by the fires but then I saw lightning on the webcam so I think that this is what was going on at the time. Now there was one thing that caught my eye. There seems to be another light source coming from the left. It's bright enough to cast a shadow on reactor 1. But then after a while it went out. Have a look at the red circle drawn.


There were alot of smoke coming from the fires this time also. You can't see it on the pictures but it's there on the live cam. I don't know if there were any reported thunderstorm on Aug. 8 2011 in the Fukushima area. So this is my take on the things going on now. I can be totally wrong, but hear me out.

Have you ever seen a erupting volcano? If you have you might have noticed lightning going on in the ash cloud. This is a fenomena not really understood. 

How lightning forms in general is still debated among scientists, and volcanic lightning is even less well understood. What is mostly agreed upon is that the process starts when particles separate, either after a collision or when a larger particle breaks in two. Then some difference in the aerodynamics of these particles causes the positively charged particles to be systematically separated from the negatively charged particles. Lightning is the electrical flow that results when this charge separation becomes too great for air to resist the flow of electricity.


This photo of lightning going on in the volcanic ash cloud from Redoubt Volcano were taken by Bretwood Higman. The camera was mounted under the yurt where he lives in Seldovia, Alaska, and was set to automatically take a 30 second photo every two minutes. Seldovia is 80 miles from the volcano, on the far side of Cook Inlet.

So what if the continuing fires and smoke with radioactive fallout going up into the air at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant are causing this same fenomena? Instead of volcanic lightning caused by ash we get nuclear lightning caused by the radioactive dust. I could be way off so I would really appreciate some input. Comment or come and chat with us.

And if you happen to live in the Fukushima area or Japan for that matter, please come in and chat with us. Many people including me would be very grateful if you do.

☢ Strange Fires at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant Aug. 6 2011 ☢ UPDATE 3 ☢

This is a follow up on the earlier:
☢ Strange Fire at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant Aug. 6 2011 ☢ UPDATE 2 ☢

I got some good comments about my last post trying to pinpoint the location of the Fukushima Fires going on. Some have put forth a very dark theory about what is happening. They claim that the Centralized Radiation Treatment Facility (area located behind the reactor 4 building) is in use to burn radioactive material on site. Another teory would be that they have built a facility next to reactor 3 to do the same. Burning radioactive waste sounds crazy, but the sad thing about this is that it is in use all over the world. There have been actions against this to little effect. Because it is considered safe when they use $200.000 filters made in Germany to capture the "fallout".


I can't say for sure this is what's going on because the location of the fires are still to me in the same area as the Common Spent Fuel Storage Facility. Looking at the pictures there is a hill in the background. If we take this hill and the tower drawn out in red into reference then to me it looks like the fire is in that area. But it's hard to say for sure, and with news of how radioactive material is indeed being burned around the world. Who knows what they really are up to. One thing is for certain, something is burning at the plant.

Why Fukushima’s “spent” fuel rods will continue to catch fire

By: Kirk James Murphy, M.D. Tuesday March 15, 2011 4:26 pm


Six of the spent fuel rod pools  are (or were) located at the top of six reactor buildings.  One “common pool” is at ground level in a separate building.  Each “reactor top” pool holds up to 3450 fuel rod assemblies.  The common pool holds up to 6291 fuel rod assemblies.  [The common pool has windows on one wall which were almost certainly destroyed by the tsunami.]  Each assembly holds sixty-threefuel rods. This means the Fukushima Daiichi plant may contain over 600,000 spent fuel rods.  The fuel rods once stored atop reactor 3 may no longer be there: one of the several explosions at the Fukushima reactors may have damaged that pool.
Now that we have partial meltdown in the reactor vessels – the part of the reactor where nuclear reactions are supposed to happen – in at least three of the Daiichi palnt’s six reactors, why bother with swimming pools for fuel rods?  Simple. Even after they are no longer usable to drive nuclear fission in the reactor vessels, the “spent” fuel rods are still highly radioactive.  Part of that radioactive energy is emitted as heat.  That’s no surprise: heat from radioactivity is the how the reactor core vessels generate the heat that drives the nuclear plant’s turbines to generate electricity.  The fuel rods don’t know whether they are in the core or in the pools: they keep emitting heat and radioactivity until the radioactive material decays into non-radioactive elements.  That process can take years, which is why spent fuel rods are still dangerous years after they leave the reactor core.
How can we prevent the spent fuel rods from bursting into flame once they’re out of the reactor core? The Fukushima plant – like many other reactors – keeps the rods in water, which absorbs the heat energy.  But the pools – like the water in a teakettle – will boil away unless new water is added.  After the Fukushima plant lost power in Friday’s 9.0 earthquake and got hit by the tsunami, the plant was no longer able to keep the pools topped up.

☢ Fire and Smoke at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant Aug. 6 2011 ☢ UPDATE ☢

UPDATE 2 Location of the Fire with google earth:
☢ Strange Fire at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant Aug. 6 2011 ☢ UPDATE 2 ☢

Following up on my earlier post about the ☢ Strange Lights Flicker at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant Aug. 6 2011 ☢

There seems to be something going on at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. FrankSnapp on the chat showed a video from Aug. 4 2011 the live cam show some strange things happening.Youtube Video 2011.08.04 19:00-20:00 / ふくいちライブカメラ (Live Fukushima Nuclear Plant Cam)

What's going on there? Did the spent fuel pool dry up and catch fire? Now it seems to me that the people in charge of the live cam turned it to black and white about 55 sec into the video. Probably to keep down the dramatic effects going on. There are clearly massive amounts of smoke / steam coming from the Fukushima reactors or spent fuel storage pool.

And today Aug. 6 2011 19:00 Local time, the exact same TIME 19:00 and the exact same thing happend. The strange lights I saw was the aftermath of the event it seems. We clearly see on the photos that something is burning. And the funny thing is the split second after that last image about 50 sec into the video the live cam goes black and white again. 


What we see after that is only white glowig and flashes going on. But still, something is very wrong at the Fukushima Daiichi Reactors. Or it could also be the Common Spent Fuel Storage Facility if you have a look at the map of the Fukushima Daiichi power plant below and how the camera is angled.




Here are the links to the live cam videos starting from 20:00 Local Time. 

Watch at 1:45 min into this video 22:00-23:00 how a very strong light appears.



Watch 20 seconds into this video between 01:00-02:00 how a very strong flash occures and then at 50 seconds it's like it's lights out. Everything dies down. From now on it's just the strange flashes you see.

Geiger Counters - Radiation Detection Meters - Handheld Radiation Detector



When it comes to radiation detection meters you really have a wide field of gadgets to choose from, however radiation detectors are the most common to use. First of all if you need to know what type of radiation you are looking for. There are Alpha, Beta and Gamma radiation detectors. And also there is neutron emission of nuclear radiation. And all these different types of emissions have radiation detectors for a specific type of radiation that you can buy radiation detector for. Some also measure both Alpha and Beta. Others detect Alpha, Beta and Gamma. While others let you measure Beta and Gamma radiation.



What most people have use for though are Dosimeters you can buy a handheld radiation detector pretty cheap that are good addition to a survival kit. There are different kinds that you can use that will detect radiation. There are radiation badges that will tell you when radiation become high. Workers at nuclear power plants use these to inform them of how much radiation they have been exposed to. Now also children in the Fukushima prefecture have each been given a radiation badge so they know if they are exposed to radiation. Some come in the shape of a pen that you can carry in your pocket while other are made more compact so that you can attach them to your keychain. And then you have what is called a personal radiation monitor. These are also called Dosimeters and also normally called Geiger counters. Although not all use the Geiger-Muller Tube for the radiation detection some use a semiconductor instead. These and mostly the older geiger counters seen are pretty big to carry around, so they might not be best suited for a survival situation where you only need to carry the most important things. However if you have land and want to check radiation around the property and drinking water then these are the geiger counters to get because they are very well built units.

These are the once that you normally see people use. They have different units of radiation detection, because when it comes to radiation there are many standards used. some give the measurements in Rads, while other use Sieverts. Some have the maximum radiation value for the measured radioactivity quite low but they will still give you an idea of the amount of radiation in the area. With the units ranging from between background radiation 0.001 mSv/hr all the way up to 10 Sv/h. Normally a dosimeter will measure radiation in micro siverts per hour. If you were to walk into one of the reactor units at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Plant you probably would get an error reading from your dosimeter because the radiation levels are so high there.

Note that some places outside the exclusion zone in Fukushima that are too radioactive for people to live in have areas where the radiation levels are above 30 Sv/h. So if you are in a area that have high radiation the radiation detectors would also there go off the scale. However Geiger counters or radiation detectors are still favored as general purpose alpha/beta/gamma portable radiation detectors and radiation detection equipment, due to their low cost and robustness. Most come with an LCD Display that show you the radioactivity in the area. Nowdays you will even get alarm sound and the possibility to connect the device to a computer. Either with a Infrared, Bluetooth or USB connection.

So if you look at the radiation detectors for sale that have this, then these radiation detection meters will allow you to make maps of contaminated areas that show where the radiation is high and low. This also will help you to see which areas are becoming more contaminated over time. With several nuclear reactors in the US and around the world located near fault zones that makes it a danger if a big earthquake would hit the area there is always a good choice to have a radiation dosimeter avaliable. I'm sure many in Fukushima would have been grateful to have dosimeters avaliable at the time of the disaster and I am sure you to would be grateful to have a geiger counter handy when you need one.
