Alert: Listen very carefully to the narration of this first video clip. ThisJapanese news anchoris referring to exposed spent nuclear fuel rods, and the steam is rising from the pools where those rods are located in at least 4 locations. The USnews media has now moved on to other stories, but this story IS NOT OVER. The danger for clouds of radioactive steam, mixed with weather precipitation, to float over the USAvia the jet stream, in successive waves, over days to come, is not over. Here is the video clip:

Poised for major growth before the earthquake and tsunami in Japan, the U.S. nuclear power industry now faces its greatest PR challenge since the partial meltdown at the Three Mile Island plant in Pennsylvania 32 years ago. In an attempt to allay fears of a catastrophe on American soil, power companies have mounted an aggressive PR campaign — running print ads, sending letters to residents and making frequent media appearances, AdAge.comreports.

Entergy Corp., which owns the Indian Point nuclear plant about 40 miles north of New York City, is running newspaper ads declaring that the facility was designed with a margin of safety beyond the strongest earthquake anticipated in the region. The plant sits at the intersection of two active seismic zones, and New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has said he wants it shut down.

Anti-nuclear activists are relying on free media appearances and a letter-writing campaign to push for the shutdown of 23 U.S. reactors, which they say are identical in design to those now releasing radiation in Japan. Adam Mendelsohn, a partner with the PR and crisis management firm Mercury, said that the incident in Japan threatens to undo years of effort by the U.S. nuclear power industry to define nuclear energy as a safe alternative to fossil fuel. — Greg Beaubien

Crowdsourced Radiation Map Of Japan.

I have discovered at least two groups which are setting up independent radiation measurements around Japan. The groups have no connection to any government agency, TEPCO, or any other agency. This will at least give independent measurements and in my opinion is something very needed in the current serious crisis at the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant.

The www.rdtn.org website allows people to submit their own radiation readings and maps them alongside official data.

Another website, http://japanstatus.org/, also offers similar information.

To contribute to the RDTN site people will have to purchase a radiation detection device and the site directs people to four sources of such equipment.

Readings submitted to the site suggest that radiation levels of between 0.178 – 0.678 microsieverts per hour can be detected in and around Onuma Hitachi City that lies south of Fukushima.

Other efforts to pool advice on how to cope with the disaster include new pages on The Global Innovations Commons, a site which compiles out-of-date patents.

http://www.tepco.co.jp/en/nu/monitoring/index-e.html

We too have been watching events unfold in Japan. We have created this site in an effort to display the reliable data readings as they become available. Although we are careful to evaluate new data sources, we welcome new reliable data from those on the ground in this crisis.

To submit readings

1) Purchase a radiation detection device.

First food ban issued in Japan nuke crisis.Radiation and Food Safety.

Prime Minister Naoto Kan placed an indefinite ban on spinach and another local vegetable produced by Fukushima and neighboring prefectures Monday after samples were found to be abnormally radioactive. He also suspended Fukushima milk.

The food ban, the first since the nuclear crisis began, is certain to alarm a public already anxious about radioactive fallout from the troubled reactors at the Fukushima No. 1 power plant.

Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano appealed for calm after the announcement.

“What I want people to understand is that the amount of (contamination) will not pose a risk to public health even though the figure exceeded government standards,” Edano said.

http://search.japantimes.co.jp/mail/nn20110322a1.html

The announcement Saturday that radiation has popped up in milk and spinach made in areas near the Fukushima No. 1 power plant has cast a shadow over food safety.

The milk, collected Thursday in the town of Kawamata, Fukushima Prefecture, contained 1,510 becquerels of iodine per kilogram, about five times the new standard.

If one were to drink the contaminated milk for an entire year, the accumulated radiation would equal that of one CT scan, based on the average amount of milk consumed by a Japanese, Edano said.

The spinach, from Ibaraki Prefecture, contained 15,020 becquerels of iodine, about seven times the standard, but only 524 becquerels of cesium, or just slightly higher than the standard of 500 becquerels per kilogram.

According to the government, eating the contaminated spinach every day would be the same as absorbing one-fifth of the radiation from a CT scan.

Michikuni Shimo, visiting professor at Fujita Health University, said people should not worry about the radiation detected in the foods. Although it is better to wash vegetables before eating them, there is no immediate need to stop consuming these foods, Shimo said.

“The most troubling thing to me is the fear that’s out of proportion to the risk,” Dr. Henry Duval Royal, a radiologist at Washington University Medical School, told the Associated Press.

It is possible to cover vegetables, fruit and animal feed with plastic sheets or tarpaulins, according to the FDA. Livestock can be moved into barns.

How much radioactive material is permitted in foods?

The World Health Organization has established limits that serve as guidelines for governments. But there are no hard and fast rules in the United States, said George H. Pauli, a retired food safety official who spent 29 years at the FDA.

“You don’t want people to slide up to the limit,” he said. “It’s treated on a case-by-case basis when there’s a problem.”

Radioactive material in food is measured in becquerels, or Bq. The limit for iodine-131 is 55 Bq per kilogram for infant food and 300 Bq per kilogram for other foods regulated by the FDA. For meat and poultry, which are regulated by the Department of Agriculture, the limit is 55 Bq per kilogram. The limit for cesium-134 and cesium-137 for all foods is 370 Bq per kilogram.

In Japan, some milk was reported to contain 1,510 Bq of iodine-131 per kilogram.
