Tokyo Electric Power Company reporting that almost 20 tons of strontium-90 has flooded into the groundwater around the contaminated water storage tank farm near reactor Unit 4! The cause: Snow storms and the idiotic way they tried to raise the height of the ridiculously short barrier wall around the tank farm.
Japan has been hit with record level snow. Fukushima Daiich is literally hot with radiation so it all melts.
Last year TEPCo feebly tried to raise the short height of flood barrier walls, around the tank farms, by simply clamping a new section of wall on top of the old one. The clamps are just sections of steel plate bolted to the walls. Throwaway workers found at least seven massive leaks coming from the join between the top and bottom walls around the tank farm near reactor Unit 4. The water contains 23 becquerels per liter of strontium 90.
More big snow storms are forecasted to hit Japan.
It turns out the March 2011 Fukushima Daiichi disaster has resulted in crashing uranium prices. Several uranium mining operations have actually stopped digging for the radioactive rock (Paladin Energy lost $255-million USD in the last half of 2013). Uranium prices are below $36-per pound.
Former president and CEO of Ontario Hydro International, Thomas Drolet, says the official estimate for the cost of ‘cleaning up’ Fukushima Daiichi is a lie. He says it will cost at least $120-billion, and taxpayers are going to pay for it!
For weeks now, native Americans (aka First Nations) in Canada have been demanding action by the evil British empire government in Canada. They want the government to begin official radiological testing of food sources along the Canadian Pacific Coast.
The Korean edition of Maxim men’s magazine is getting Japanese all hot and bothered. That’s because it has an article claiming to tell men how to find and date women not contaminated by radiation! Here’s how one Japanese responded: “I’ve gotten tired of looking at these ridiculous stories day after day. I’m begging you, please just ship everyone off to Mars.”
