What a shock
Indeed they found cesium-134 off the coast shortly after the 3/11 event.
Yep... and very quickly it was too small to identify again (some measurements from the time). Ooh! I know! Perhaps... just like homeopathic theory... it's the "memory" of that radiation that's harming the starfish, eh?
The basis for the estimates from WHOI, are based on the releases from the days shortly after 3/11. But the pollution is Ongoing indeed, it may even be worse every day
All evidence to the contrary.
As before... "ongoing" simply doesn't mean what you claim it means. The releases are ongoing... but at several orders of magnitude below the initial release.
Hint... if things were getting worse every day... the readings all around would be getting higher instead of fading away. The fish caught off Fukushima (and the waters tested off Fukushima every day) would be getting higher... instead of orders of magnitude lower. More areas around the plant would become off limits instead of entire sections being reopened as dose rates decline.
The limited testing done by the Japanese indeed show that radiation levels are rising.
You're not entitled to your own facts. That's simply wrong. The testing widespread and ongoing... and the levels continue to fall in the vast majority of cases. You're falling for the old cherrypicking fallacy that the ENENews nuts pump so often. When 99 readings stay low or fall, but one well hits a new high (because contamination from elsewhere in the plant is washed there by heavy rainfall... or just because underground contamination had just reached that point)... they pump a dishonest title like "Radiation levels have surged at Fukushima plant 100,000% of previous record high" and the low-information crowd reads that (as they were intended to) as "Fukushima is putting out more radiation than ever!"
Robots stop working when they get close it is such a highly radiated area.
I just love how you keep coming back to that gem. It doesn't matter how many hours of video footage you're provided of robots going all around the reactors... you still continue to claim that they can't get close.
