15 Billion Bq of Tritium flows from Fukushima plant area to the sea every single day. Tepco reported it in the handout submitted to Fukushima fishery cooperative on 8/25/2014.

In the press conference of the same day, Tepco announced it was 1 Billion Bq, which is 1/15 times much as the actual amount.

  • Gentilly reactor [in Quebec, Canada] releases 200 trillion becquerels of tritium every year
  • Tritium is a chronic problem
  • No way it can be filtered out of [drinking] water
  • Becomes a part of all living things
  • Beta particle goes ripping through nearby molecules
  • Sometimes manifests itself as cancer

Description:

Dr. Helen Caldicott: If Spent Fuel Pool No. 4 collapses I am evacuating my family from Boston.

Few people know that the Pacific Northwest got whacked hard by fallout from the Fukushima disaster with radiation rates hundreds of thousands of times higher than normal background radiation.

The damage from this is not something that the corporate media or the government is talking about.  It mysteriously disappeared from the radar almost immediately.

Dr. Caldicott referred to this as a process of “cover-up and psychic numbing.”  Looks like it may be working.

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission just approved two new nuclear power plants this week (4/2/12) in South Carolina in addition to the two approved earlier this year in Georgia.

Dr. Caldicott talks about the dangers and hidden costs of nuclear power then tells the awful truth in minute detail about the actual scale of the Fukushima disaster and compares it to the nuclear disasters of Chernobyl and Three Mile Island.

Recent studies estimated that a million people have died so far from Chernobyl.

Dr. Helen Caldicott is a physician, Nobel Peace Prize winner, noted author, anti-nuclear power advocate and has founded numerous national and international groups which oppose nuclear power & weapons, including Physicians for Social Responsibility.

Fukushima: Water Containing 2,600 Bq/Liter Tritium Sprayed In Plant Compound

#Fukushima I Nuke Plant: 2,600 Bq/Liter Tritium in Water Being Sprayed in the Plant Compound (EX-SKF, Oct. 27, 2011):

On October 24, TEPCO quietly released the analysis of the water being sprayed in the plant compound, supposedly for fire and dust suppression.

The water comes from the basements of Reactors 5 and 6, and is treated, apparently, by the system that uses reverse osmosis. TEPCO assures us the water is safer than the seawater cleared for ocean bathing, though it does exceed the WHO standard.

One notable nuclide that does remain after the RO treatment is tritium (H3). From TEPCO’s handout for the press (10/24/2011):

In fact, the treated water is so safe that a cabinet officer of the Noda administration has vowed to drink up the water (link in Japanese) to appeal safety. Seriously.

Apparently, TEPCO at Fuku-I plant is getting ready to shoot the video of water collection for the officer, according to the tweet from a plant worker. The worker is a bit cross with this performance by the politician and TEPCO’s willingness to accommodate him.

I hope this officer knows that tritium is a beta emitter, and not really recommended for ingestion.

Michigan: Radioactive Steam Release At Palisades Nuclear Plant

Electrical problems trigger radioactive steam release at Palisades (Sep. 26, 2011):

Entergy’s Palisades nuclear plant near South Haven is venting radioactive steam into the environment as part of an unplanned shutdown triggered by an electrical accident.

This shutdown, which began Sunday evening, came just five days after the plant restarted from a shutdown that was caused by a leak in the plant’s cooling system.

US: 75 Percent Of Nuclear Plants Have Leaked Radioactive Tritium (AP)

75 percent of nuke sites have leaked tritium (AP, June 17, 2011):

BRACEVILLE, Ill. (AP) – Radioactive tritium has leaked from three-quarters of U.S. commercial nuclear power sites, often into groundwater from corroded, buried piping, an Associated Press investigation shows.

The number and severity of the leaks has been escalating, even as federal regulators extend the licenses of more and more reactors across the nation.

Unknown Amount of Radioactive Water Pumped Into Mississippi River

How does the government determine an unknown amount of radioactive water to be safe???

There is no such thing as safe levels of radiation.

Are There Safe Levels of Radiation? How Much Radiation Is Safe?


Radioactive Water Pumped Into Mississippi River (WJTV – May 2):

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is investigating a radioactive release into the Mississippi River from the Grand Gulf Nuclear Plant in Port Gibson.

A spokesperson from Grand Gulf tells News Channel 12 that they found standing water in an abandoned unit.

In an effort to remove the standing water, Entergy began pumping the water out and into a drain that emptyed into the Mississippi River.

A censor went off detecting the chemical “tritium” in the standing water.

NRC officials say the River has diluted the radioactive material and is not causing harm to the people.

Right now the incident is under investigation by the NRC.

Entergy officials tell News Channel 12 they are not sure of the source of the tritium.

There’s no word on how much Tritum was pumped into the river.

Radioactive water released into river at Grand Gulf (The Natchez Democrat – May 4):

PORT GIBSON — An unknown amount of radioactive water was released accidentally into the Mississippi River late last week at the Grand Gulf Nuclear Station.

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is investigating the incident, but suggests the release poses no public health hazard.

US: Tainted Water From Oldest Nuclear Power Plant Reaches Major New Jersey Aquifer

LACEY TOWNSHIP, N.J. – Radioactive water that leaked from the nation’s oldest nuclear power plant has now reached a major underground aquifer that supplies drinking water to much of southern New Jersey, the state’s environmental chief said Friday.

The state Department of Environmental Protection has ordered the Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station to halt the spread of contaminated water underground, even as it said there was no imminent threat to drinking water supplies.

The department launched a new investigation Friday into the April 2009 spill and said the actions of plant owner Exelon Corp. have not been sufficient to contain water contaminated with tritium.

Tritium is found naturally in tiny amounts and is a product of nuclear fission. It has been linked to cancer if ingested, inhaled or absorbed through the skin in large amounts.

“There is a problem here,” said environmental Commissioner Bob Martin. “I am worried about the continuing spread of the tritium into the groundwater and its gradual moving toward wells in the area. This is not something that can wait. That would be unacceptable.”

The tritium leaked from underground pipes at the plant on April 9, 2009, and has been slowly spreading underground at 1 to 3 feet a day. At the current rate, it would be 14 or 15 years before the tainted water reaches the nearest private or commercial drinking water wells about two miles away.

But the mere fact that the radioactive water — at concentrations 50 times higher than those allowed by law — has reached southern New Jersey’s main source of drinking water calls for urgent action, Martin said.
