More Strange Emissions


The strange emissions persist despite dry streets at the Futaba cam intersection. The emissions are not visible in the daylight, although they may explain the generally distorted view in the right hand lower corner of the bottom screenshot:



 





Fukushima Diary reports that TEPCO acknowledges a significant contaminated water leak at the waste incinerator plant:

2,029,900,000 Bq of Cs-134/137 leaked as contaminated water in Fukushima plant at the waste incinerator plant, http://fukushima-diary.com/2016/03/2029900000-bq-of-cs-134137-leaked-as-contaminated-water-in-fukushima-plant/

However, comments left at my blog suggest the emissions are not from the new incinerator, which would not be visible in the cam view.

I don't know what is causing the increased emissions but I do know that the webcam evidence continues to cast doubt upon TEPCO's allegations that melted fuel is cool and contained.

  1. I think that decay heat is responsible for a lot of the emissions you see at fukushima Majia.

    Decay heat is the heat released as a result of radioactive decay in radioisotopes like iodine 131, st90 and cesium 137. This heat is produced as an effect of radiation on materials like in the overheating water tanks with cesium in them noted at hanford. The storage tank for cesium atbhanford have to be periodically cooled off withbwater and have water added.

    The radioisotope decay heat is the energy of the alpha, beta or gamma radiation that is converted into the thermal movement of atoms as a radioisotope loses electrons, protons, or neutrons.
    It is not fission. It is a property of radioactive elements and accounts forbnuclear wate dump fires and explosions in other waste facilities in spite of what some amateurs proclaim. Its known to exist by any freshman taking a physics course.

    Bobby 1 posted an article on radionucleides raising surface heat of pacific ocean after fukushima blew-up.
    http://optimalprediction.com/wp/fukushima-radioactive-contamination-is-rapidly-warming-north-pacific-seawater/
    His data may have not been perfect but, considering 80 percent of the radionucleides ininially released by fukushima went into the pacific and the sequesting effect of the islands of garbage in the pacific it has merit.
    There is also on going release of cesium 137 and other radionucleides into the pacific.

    Bobby1 raised some good points about radionucleides ability to create energy in the form of heat through radioactive decay.
     Cs137 decays by β emission, with minor γ emission. While its half life of 33 years is much shorter than that of 238Pu, it also has a lower decay energy with a power density of 0.46 watts per gram. Because the energy output is lower it reaches lower temperatures than  than say
    Pu238
    Plutonium-238 has a half-life of 87.7 years, reasonable power density of 0.54 watts per gram.



    Cs137 is a high yield waste product of nuclear fission and qas one is one of the major radunucleides released from fukushima.

    wikipedia.com

    Cesium 137 releases .46 watts per second of heat energy through radioactive decay heat, which is 5 calories/gm/second. There were and are at least 100000 lbs of cesium137 in the ocean now from the explosion,  meldowns, and fuel pool fites.  At 450gm/lb x100,000lbs = 4.5x10 to the eighth gms of cs137 x 5 calories/gm/sec  or about 22 billion calories/sec of heat released from cesium 137 alone into the ocean Thats a lot especially considering large islands of plastic in the ocean which can sequester rnucleides causing much higher decay heat. The plastics and organic that get hot by decay heat can also get hot and generate gases or even small fires making even more heat.

    Certain people have hassled Bobby1 one about this and have come up with simplistic spread sheets ingnoring radiosotope decay heat and claiming to debunk his article. They have also used a very simplistic two dimensional spread sheets to deny global warming in spite of ice sheets melting which I have witnessed for myself in alaska. Climate change and global warming are mutiple variable events that are least three dimensional phenomenon mathematically and stumps even super computers. They used the spreadsheet trick to try to debunk bobby1s suppostion. The spreadsheet trick is biased because they are obviously trying to quell concerns about global warming and climate change or have some other agenda.

    1. It may be decay heat or it may be something else. Fukushima Diary recently reported that:

      650Bq/Kg of I-131 still measured from sewage sludge of Fukushima. http://fukushima-diary.com/2016/03/650bqkg-of-i-131-still-measured-from-sewage-sludge-of-fukushima/


      Did that I-131, with its approximately 8 day half-life, derive from fission or did it derive from medical isotopes being used to treat the skyrocketing incidents of thyroid cancer in Fukushima's children?

  2. Lung cancer in nonsmokers will jump. May be it already is up.

  3. Thankyou for all you do Majia. You are a light. Hope everything is going well for you and your family

  4. Polonium210 has an amazingly high heat density from radioactive decay whereby a half gram can heat up to 900 degrees centigrade, which is 9 times the boiling point of water, quickly when in a small amount of water. a small amount of water. A 1/2 gram pellet of Po can cause a gallon of water in 3 minutes. It is a contaminant at Fukushima. Residual strontium 90 , cesium 137 , uranium , and plutonium from the original meltdowns are present in tokyo and at fukushima. The more concentrated theses radiositopes are the more heat they generate especially in Water. There are many dozens of different radioisotope contaminants at fukushima and in the water that is pouring into the pacific. They are not the necessarily the result of recent fssiong. They each have different heat decay coefficients per gram and heat densities. Some of them have very high heat densities. This of course has not been brought up much, except by bobby1 and I. Same thing for the media in the poisoning of life in the pacific with high radionucleide contamination. If it were pronuclear people would poo poo it because of their bias.

  5. thanks majia. I highly respect your intelligence and obective mind. Heat decay is effecting the Fukushima site because of old contaminants and new meltdown contaminants at fukushima.

    Some of the radionucleides, new and old could be sequestered in the island sized heeps of garbage and plastics in the pac ocean.

    Many and high quantities of poison occured from the initial fuku event.

    I think the initial event did create a large warm blob. I think there are many smaller warm blobs now in the pacific from sequestering.

    There are pools and streams of hot, highly radioactive water around the fuku plant from old contamination and new contamination. New contamination from the ongoing neltdowns.

    The storage tanks at fukushima are calorically hot from radioactive heat decay like the tanks at hanford.

    Fukushima is about as big a mess as there could be. No use denying it.

    Fukushima continues leaking tons of radionuleides into the ocean daily.

    There was much radionucleide contamination before fuku in the ocean from waste dumping and continental runoff.

    The nuc industry has and continues to lie about everything. they say we cannot prove radionucleides have killed people in japan from fukushima. Pronucs say that radionucleides are not killing the ocean yet we know radionucleides and heavy metals are deadly.

    They know heat decay exists and it is destructive yet they have hidden the manmade effects of heat decay in the environment from the getgo.

    They will say that the heat in magma in the earth is from heat decay and yet, deny heat decay from more potent and refined radioactive elements that are the spawn of man.

    Another killer spawn effect from the death machinations of the nucleoapes.
