Is a matter of forging through the tough times and keeping the real point/purpose in mind which is the nuclear emergency at Fukushima. Is just speed bumps... Is unusual for someone to check out with at least a post saying so. Maybe some of you long timers (pc, q, matador, silverlok, etc.) should exchange contact info - just in case?
I hope the quality of contributions will continue here. This is the only source I use to keep up with this and it's up to the contributors to keep on keeping on. Especially at this (new) critical time when they're going to start playing with the rods.... of one facility... but what about the other 3?
I still don't understand why the facilities aren't buried and forgotten for a few hundred thousand years. Tepco talks about 40(!) years to clean it up, we'll all be glowing well before then. If it's buried isn't it at least 'stopped' on the surface? Anyone?
75% of seawater samples around Fukushima port still “under analysis” for Strontium-90
Tepco publishes the seawater analysis data on the daily basis. They take samples for Strontium-90 at 16 locations around the port. However, the data is still “under analysis” in 12 of 16 locations. This means, Strontium-90 analysis of the samples from those locations has never been completed since this June. Especially, Tepco takes seawater samples only at 5 locations near outside of the port. However Tepco doesn’t even analyze the samples from 3 of 5 locations for Strontium-90. Japanese Prime Minister Abe stated to IOC that the contaminated water is blocked within the port, but the reality is they block the data or don’t even take samples. www.tepco.co.jp...

The last Thing i know about the Measurement of Strontium-90 is that it need
a very long Times, like a few Weeks.
(3-4 Weeks?)
So it is very difficult to provide such Data ad Hoc!

For me this Data (of a specific Isotope like Strontium-90) is not that important
but i understand the problems of "Delay" and the creation of a Priority Line!

so the releasing of radioactive isotopes and subsequent reporting of said isotopes into the environment is not important to you, i see. well i'm glad you told me now since this seems to be what this thread and everyone's concern is but yours. i will no longer consider your thread contributions as relevant then, thank you for your time and have a nice day.
i think it's safe to say the place is still under analysis. if they cannot even take simple samples and report them, how does any government in the world think they can lift rods out of #4????
these japanese workers seem either incredibly dumb, probably, or telco is lying once again, more than likely.

So the charts available through the IAEA link show mostly ND, below the limits of detection. Considering how sensitive the new instruments are, how can dangerous levels of radiation ever turn up thousands of miles away, California for example, if they can't detect anything in the sea right outside the reactor site?
