Fukushima Nuclear Plant Back Into Recriticality

From the article:

“The future of this blog is bright.”


Breaking News: Fukushima in recriticality (Fukushima Diary, Sep. 9, 2011):

At four different places in Japan, Iodine 131 was detected between 15th-25th August.

The half life time of Iodine 131 is about 8 days.

It’s natural to think Fukushima got into the recriticality state.

1) Between 8/15?16,they detected 150 Bq/kg of Iodine 131 from sewage sludge in Tokyo.

2) Between 8/25?9/6,they also detected 2,300 ? 4,800 Bq/kg of Iodine 131.

Sludge sampled on August 25th from Maesawa sewage clarification center in Oshu city, marked 2,300 becquerel in iodine131. bit.ly/p5LmGI What the heck is this…

Klärschlammproben vom 25. August aus der Maesawa Kläranlage in der Stadt Oshu weisen 2,300 Becquerel Iod 131 auf. . bit.ly/p5LmGI Was zum Teufel ist das…

3) and today,they announced they detected Iodine 131 in Niigata and Nagano.

Having Iodine 131 detected in four different places nearly at once,it’s very likely that Fukushima nuc plant has got into recriticality state again.

For now,no public announcement was made as always.They will announce it when it’s too late.

Now it is not sure that in which reactor the recriticality is starting,but from a source,it might be in the spent fuel pool in the third reactor or the forth reactor ,however it’s still an unconfirmed information.

It has been 6 months,but nothing has been improved. Still even a temperature indicator is not properly set at each reactor.It’s almost 100% sure that fuel rods have melted out and started sinking into the ground in some of the reactors.

It’s rational that recriticality will keep happening continuously for decades ,until all of fuel rods are taken out and kept safe.

The future of this blog is bright.
