New Data Supports Previous Fairewinds Analysis, as Contamination Spreads in Japan and Worldwide

(embedded video)

Newly released neutron data from three University of California San Diego scientists confirms Fairewinds' April analysis that the nuclear core at Fukushima Daiichi turned on and off after TEPCO claimed its reactors had been shutdown. This periodic nuclear chain reaction (inadvertent criticality) continued to contaminate the surrounding environment and upper atmosphere with large doses of radioactivity.

Whistleblowers proven right again.

1. Amazing the lack of interest in what is going on in Japan

even on DU. This is an enormous on going disaster. I suggest everyone check www.enenews.com on a daily basis for the latest news (much like we have come to rely on DU for getting news the MSM won't report).

2. Thanks for that link! MSM here has "moved on" regardless of dire situation in Japan. n/t

3. :( and R n/t

4. "Man who sees Virgin Mary in tortilla sees her again in pancake... 'proving' he was right."

What a shock!

Unsurprisingly, the "neutron data" (sic) "confirms" nothing of the sort.

5. Enlighten us oh wise one. n/t

9. Ok.

On the first issues, off the top of my head. He screws up where radioactive sulphur comes from... but that hardly matters because even if the authors of the study knew what they were talking about and were accurate (something very much in doubt), the number they came up with for the neutron flux is not high enough to represent recriticality. It sounds like a really big number, but Arnie should know better. It isn't.

6. Where's the corium now!?!?!

We use a Lagrangian particles dispersal method to track where free floating material (fish larvae, algae, phytoplankton, zooplankton...) present in the sea water near the damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power station plant could have gone since the earthquake on March 11th. THIS IS NOT A REPRESENTATION OF THE RADIOACTIVE PLUME CONCENTRATION. Since we do not know how much contaminated water and at what concentration was released into the ocean, it is impossible to estimate the extent and dilution of the plume. However, field monitoring by TEPCO and modelling by the Sirrocco group in University of Toulouse, France both show high concentration in the surrounding water (highest rate at 80 Bq/L and 24 Bq/L for respectively I-131 and C-137) . Assuming that a part of the passive biomass could have been contaminated in the area, we are trying to track where the radionuclides are spreading as it will eventually climb up the food chain.

The dispersal model is ASR's Pol3DD. The model is forced by hydrodynamic data from the HYCOM/NCODA system which provides on a weekly basis, daily oceanic current in the world ocean. The resolution in this part of the Pacific Ocean is around 8km x 8km cells. We are treating only the sea surface currents. Particles in the model are continuously released near the Fukushima Daiichi power plant since March 11th. The dispersal model keeps a trace of their visits in the model cells. The results here are expressed in number of visit per surface area of material which has been in contact at least once with the highly concentrated radioactive water.

8. Thanks for those. nt

10. Unreasonable...

Do you not see how unreasonable you are being by posting simulations and data and info by scientists that fly in the face of the facts as delivered by FBaggins?
Where is the corium now Baggins, where is the corium now?!!

[FBaggins]

11. Hilarious. Can you point to one of those facts?

Or would that spoil your riff?

You didn't happen to note that "highest rate", now did you? If you need help with it, just let me know.
