(Before It's News)

Asahi Shimbun, Dec. 7, 2013: Record outdoor radiation level detected at Fukushima plant — [Tepco] said Dec. 6 it detected the highest estimated radiation level for an outdoor location at the crippled Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant. The reading of 25 sieverts per hour was taken on steel piping near an exhaust stack for the No. 1 and No. 2 reactors, TEPCO said. [...] A TEPCO official said radioactive materials derived from melted fuel likely entered the piping during venting soon after the accident [...]

NHK WORLD, Dec. 6, 2013: Highest radiation levels measured outside reactor — Tokyo Electric Power Company says radiation levels are extremely high in an area near a ventilation pipe at the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. TEPCO found radiation of 25 sieverts an hour on a duct [...] The estimated radiation level is the highest ever detected outside reactor buildings. People exposed to this level of radiation would die within 20 minutes. [...]

Well this isn’t good.  How are they suppose to or on getting those things out if they will die in 20 minutes.  This is a disaster.  I wish this had never happened. TEPCO and the Japanese government should be all tried for crimes against humanity and put in prison for the rest of their lives.  -Mort

  • we are in the sheit, with this where is the government, on holidays

  • I did not realize radiation was a problem from a nuclear plant unless there was fusion.
    Hmmmm. What is nuclear waste, PLUTONIUM hmmm that is not a waste. What type of radiation are you referring to? Was there a nuclear explosion which caused radiation or a hydrogen explosion? Is the radiation coming from the Uranium seems to me that engineers used to kick it around with their feet and played with it. hmmmm Just thinking out loud.
    So whats in the barrels of the so called nuclear waste? Has anyone taken a look?
