Press Release (Mar 31,2011)
The detection of radioactive materials in the water on 1st basement of turbine building at the site of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station

---

On March 28th 2011, we received advice from Nuclear Safety Commission of 
Japan to conduct sampling survey of the water on the first basement of 
turbine building of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station as well as to 
reinforce the sampling survey of seawater in order to secure safety and to 
monitor the leakage of the water on the basement into underground and/ or 
sea. 

On March 30th, 2011, we conducted nuclide analysis of radioactive 
materials, the sample of which was collected from the water on 1st 
basement (sub drain) of turbine building at the site of Fukushima Daiichi 
Nuclear Power Station. Because radioactive materials were detected as a 
result, as shown in the attachment, we reported the result to Nuclear and 
Industry Safety Agency as well as to the government of Fukushima 
Prefecture today.

1. Te-129?

Half life of 70 minutes. 1.2 x 10(3) Bq/CM(3).

Isn't this evidence of an ongoing fissile reaction?

2. Meh - there are radioactive bananas in the turbine building from someone's lunch

There is no criticality in the molten mass of fuel seeping through the dry well in Unit 1

All this talk of "neutron beams", bursts of heat and radiation, and the presence of short-lived fission products is junk pseudoscience.

so we have been told....
