As you said, the water in the trenches seems to be the same water that was there back in March 2011 (just less Cs-134 because of decay), so that one is isolated to some extent from the one being treated and recirculated to cool the reactors.

The degree of contamination is one or two orders of magnitude lower than the water that's been sitting in those trenches.<br /><br />There is no formal report, as far as I know, of all-beta including strontium in the contaminated water that leaked in 2011. Since the trench water is the same as those early contaminated water, the measurement of all-beta or strontium of the trench water may give you an idea. In the Reactor 2 cable trench, all -beta was 750 million Bq/L (750,000 Bq/cm3). Cesium-137 was 1.6 billion Bq/L (1.6 million Bq/cm3).

Do we have reports of strontium levels from the early days too?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1765307840677473617.post-87390919755590054452013-08-12T13:41:33.295-07:002013-08-12T13:41:33.295-07:00Is the Torus of Unit #1 cracked?

We took a break when TMI II Melted its core, and I watched the lies from Metropolitan Edison, and felt sincere sorrow for those folk who worked so hard on the nuclear dream only to see it become a nightmare threatening to kill us.<br /><br />Now, we have a creaked Torus in Unit 1. They had 32 years to fix that problem. Unit #4 with something like 17,000 fuel rods in the spent storage pool is sinking.<br /><br />The Fukushima Tragedy is just starting.<br /><br />- George KamburoffAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1765307840677473617.post-82862623520455054532013-08-12T02:19:48.799-07:002013-08-12T02:19:48.799-07:00Nice work on reported TEPCO numbers.

Next numbers to help would be the new water levels created by the seaside underground dam combined with the elevations of the bottom of the trenches containing highly radioactive waters and the elevations of the the first three units base mats or even the bottom of the torus rooms.<br /><br />If anything has been disturbed by recent construction, it would be the water tables (rising) and interacting with any melted core materials.<br /><br />In the meantime, my guess is that any M6+ strike in a 30 mile radius will cause liquefaction at the site due to the rise in groundwater levels created by the underground dam construction and any subsidence will vary greatly depending on where the ground is saturated the most at the beginning of a quake that large.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1765307840677473617.post-53929944299875344142013-08-12T02:02:12.137-07:002013-08-12T02:02:12.137-07:00Hey, but everyone argues that drinking all of that...Hey, but everyone argues that drinking all of that cesium is exactly the same as eating a banana or riding an airplane, so it's absolutely safe!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1765307840677473617.post-40676980256694935452013-08-12T00:09:42.864-07:002013-08-12T00:09:42.864-07:00Please explain your use of the word "yet.&quo...Please explain your use of the word "yet."
