10,000 million Becquerels an hour?

10,000 million Becquerels an hour? Does that figure include both atmospheric and ocean emissions?

TEPCO just admitted that “work” at the Fukushima Daiichi site is producing significant emissions.

(I believe this admission is limited only to atmospheric emissions but I’m not sure)

One trillion Bq released by nuclear debris removal. (2014, July 23) NHK, available, http://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/english/news/20140723_37.html

The operator of the damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant says more than one trillion becquerels of radioactive substances were released as a result of debris removal work at one of the plant's reactors….

….removal work discharged 280 billion becquerels per hour of radioactive substances, or a total of 1.1 trillion becquerels….

….The plant is believed to be still releasing an average of 10 million becquerels per hour of radioactive material….[end]

Majia here: I take every estimate made by TEPCO and multiply it by ten because I have documented in my scholarship that TEPCO has repeatedly been found guilty of manipulating radiation readings.

I’ve also seen emissions on the webcams that belie TEPCO’s unwavering stance of “cold shutdown.” It is not unusual for these emissions to coincide with reported accidents and work at the site.

Please see the attached pdf document that documents a correlation between scientifically detected radiation readings and webcam observations:

Readers at Enenews provide additional evidence and also point to May 20, 2014 as a significant emission event, although no 2014 monitoring data are available.

Majia, going back into archives, for the August 2012 period. Its mainly started with the black smokes over R3. https://www.dropbox.com/s/0635guollxxjuxs/japan%2008062013%20jnn%20black%20smoke%20r3.JPG

This continued. Then I noted they were removing something..using robots and coming from R3.So into water storage, via crane..then robot pickup up to barge. Something nasty going on. And lots of rads floating around in the smoke events and fires.

My theory is Reactor3 had issues, or events/criticalities, and as much as they could they tried to haul out fuel rods..or maybe the haul out CAUSED the events….but black smokes and removal happened together.

The other events that really stick out other than the smoke events over the past years ..the 'orange' object of 05202014 which was called FIRE. Now, not to pick my fight, but that was an event as well and the dosimeters jumped up..until taken offline at the site. The Iodine131 really tells it all. Experimental animals being used in Japan..are humans.

Yes the Fukushima nuclear complex fire (or no fire if you believe Tepco) starts about 1:16 in this nighttime clip:

Tepco: Radiation fire? No… We were just cremating a few things in the incinerator. (Just kidding)
