2011 Fukushima Fallout: Aerial Deposition on the Sea Ice (scenario) ...Wildlife Health Implications to Ice-Associated Seals

Doug Dasher, John J. Kelley, Gay Sheffield, Raphaela Stimmelmayr, University of Alaska Fairbanks, School of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences 

Hot Particles Exposure Not Addressed

Conclusions: Tissue C^134,137 concentrations and models suggest the 2011 fallout even does not reprepresent acute or chronic radiological risks to Northern Pinniped populations. Exposure to hot particles was not addressed. Cannot rule out that increased radiological exposure in combination with a mixture of other contaminants represented an immunotoxic and thyroid gland diseass risk during the period the animals were living on the ice. Ionizing radiation associated risk for skin defects (i.e. epilation, skin lessions) due to contact and external exposure can also not be excluded. Marine transported Fukushima radionucles entering the Bering and Chukchi Seas in the future may represent a new stressor to the ecosystem.

Poster for Alaska Marine Science Symposium, Jan. 20, 2014: Based on modeled radionuclide concentrations the dose to Northern Pinnipeds on ice was less than the ERICA risk assessment no-effects level of 10 uGy/hr with the following caveats: 1) Source terms for the Fukushima nuclear accident release vary greatly creating uncertainty in the models. 2) Knowledge gaps exist on extrapolating radiation dose to marine mammals. 3) Exposure to hot particles was not addressed. 4) Cannot rule out that increased radiological exposure in combination with a mixture of other contaminants represented an immunotoxic and thyroid disease risk during the period the animals were living on the ice. 5) Ionizing radiation associated risk for skin defects (i.e. epilation, skin lesions) due to contact and external exposure can also not be excluded. *Marine transported Fukushima radionuclides entering the Bering and Chukchi Seas in the future may represent a new stressor to the ecosystem.

Nome Nugget, Jan. 2 2014: Hunters still report hairless seals — A Nome subsistence hunter reported the harvest of an oogruk showing symptoms of the disease that broke out in 2011 and left hundreds of seals hairless or dead. The breakout of the disease is still under federal investigation as an “unusual mortality event”. Symptoms of the disease included bald seals, skin sores and apathy.

NOAA, Feb. 2014: [...] seals reported with abnormal hair growth and healing skin ulcers are likely survivors of the initial disease. Hunters may continue to see hairless seals during spring 2014 [...] no specific infectious disease agent or process has been identified. This may suggest that the underlying cause of this disease is most likely complex, involving a variety of factors. [...] Scientists are investigating the possibility that radiation could have been one of many factors [...]

Nome Nugget, Apr. 10, 2014: [Gay Sheffield, Univ. of Alaska] has so far counted nine whale strandings, 25 dead walrus strandings, two sea lions and 18 seals. She also still collected data on Unusual Mortality Event suspected seals, showing hair loss, skin sores and delayed molt. Of those, she counted 10 spotted seals, eight ringed and six bearded seals. [...] [Officials] heard and adopted a resolution [...] that “the potential for pollution events includes oil spills, cargo or fuel spills, novel disease, invasive species, radiation [...] contaminants which can impact wildlife and can potentially be transferred to consumers is of high concern.” The resolution demands [...] research be conducted in the context of human health [...]

Sellafield and Fukushima Discharges of Ionizing Radiation as Global Distribution Points

CS137 is transported northward into the Arctic Ocean to the North Pole (Sta. 4) and Canada Basin (Sta. 1)

Cs¹³⁷ comes from Sellafield: a nuclear fuel reprocessing plant and the only global point source for radioactivity discharges to ocean comparable to Fukushima. Fukushima = 15-30 PBq (2011. Sellafield = 40 PBq (1955-2012). CS¹³⁷ is transported northward into the Arctic Ocean to the North Pole (Sta. 4) and Canada Basin (Sta. 1). Red water depth profiles show arrival of peak (inset) inputs. Comparison with input function used to estimate circulation time scales, eg. 10 yr to North Pole.

How do Fukushima model predictions conform to our actual results?

How do Fukushima model predicutions conform to [our] actual results? Behrens et al. (2012) Global Ocean Circulation Model (Cs¹³⁷): Based on Nemo (0.1 horizontal mesh size) and estimates an arrival time of the Cs¹³⁷ plume at Sta. P26 of 3-5 years by current transport. Rossi et al. (2013) Ocean Circulation Model [results compared]. Both models show progression of Cs¹³⁷ surface water plume across Pacific for 2012, 2014, 2016 and 2021. [Green symbol is for Sta. P26.] By 2016, major component of Cs¹³⁷ inventory has been transported from western to eastern North Pacific.

Measure: Time series of measured Line P Cs¹³⁷ sections illustrate the continuing onshore transport and descent of the tracer signal: Rossi et al. (2013; 2014) model simulations for Line P Cs¹³⁷ sections are in good agreement with the measured time series. Fukushima Cs¹³⁷ in surface water at Stas. P4, P16 and P26. Fukushima Cs¹³⁷ was below detection limit in 2011, but measurable at Sta. P26 in 2012 and measurable at Sta/ P26 at all stations in 2013. In Feb 2016, levels of Cs¹³⁷ were still increasing over the shelf, but had begun to decline at Sta 26 in the interior of the subpolar gyre. Model results are for Rossi et al. Model Cs¹³⁷ results are comared to historical record for Cs¹³⁷ fallout levels in North Pacific Ocean.

Why do we care about data agreement with models?

Total inputs from Fukushima still poorly constrained. DFO results indicate that Rossi model may be correct if input function is ~15 PBq rather than 22 PBq; use monitoring and model to constrain overall discharges. Total discharge (~15 PBq esstimated from comparisons of DFO monitoring and model results.

Fukushima Monitoring Summary (2015-2016)

(1) Fukushima radioactivity levels continued to increase on Line P through 2015 with Cs¹³⁷ levels increasing to 10 Bq / m³ compared to fallout background of 1.5 Bq / m3. (2) In Feb. 2016 levels of Cs¹³⁷ were still increasing over the shelf, but had begun to decline in the interior of the subpolar gyre. (3) Circulation pattern of the Fukushima signal was similar to that of the "Warm Blob" which was governed b a ridge of high atmospheric ressure that persisted over NE Pacific through 2014. (4) High pressure system limited convective mexing through 2014 which reduced the deepening of the Fukushima plume; it finally descended todepths beflow 200 m on Line P in 2015 as oceanographic conditions normalized.

How Is Fukushima's Fallout Affecting Marine Life?

By David Pacchioli — Originally published online May 2, 2013

(excerpts, emphasis added) In one experiment measuring uptake of Americium, worms exposed to contaminated sediments took up significantly more of the radioisotope than clams did. But both worms and clams took up much more of the radioisotopes from Pacific sediments, which contain relatively high amounts of silica minerals, than they did from Atlantic sediments, which contain more carbon minerals. 

Food is another pathway into marine organisms and “may be in some cases the most important factor in uptake,” Fowler said. Consumed radioisotopes are assimilated internally through the gut, potentially a far more efficient route than if they are absorbed externally from the environment. Marine invertebrates, such as bottom-dwelling starfish and sea urchins, are particularly proficient at absorbing a wide range of ingested radioisotopes, he said, but fortunately, they lose that incorporated radioactivity over time, via excretion. 

What’s puzzling to Fisher, Buesseler, and many other scientists is the persistence of these low but significant levels of radioactivity in the ocean. Jota Kanda, an oceanographer at the Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology, has extensively studied coastal waters off Fukushima and calculated the amount of cesium still present in coastal waters shallower than 200 meters (660 feet) and in sediments on the seafloor. By his reckoning, what remains is less than three percent of the total discharge, with the rest long since flushed out to the open ocean.

Yet levels of the cesium radioisotopes are still being measured at several tens to hundreds of becquerels per cubic meter in this area, Kanda noted, considerably higher than the levels prior to the Fukushima disaster. More importantly, levels measured in coastal sediments and in some species of fish are higher than those in the surrounding water. 

As Kanda sees it, there are three sources responsible for this stubborn presence. One is river runoff — the fallout washed by rainfall into nearby rivers that drain to the sea. He also suggested that a small amount of contaminated water from basement compartments in the reaction unit housing is continuing to leak from the plant itself. But the biggest culprit —the only plausible explanation for the steady levels of radioactive cesium being measured in fish tissue— is continuous input through a food source. And that, he said, points to sediments.

Kanda has estimated that a total of 95 terabecquerels of cesium (1012 becquerels) is present in coastal sediments. The question, he maintained, is how it got there. It could have drifted down to the seafloor in the fecal pellets of plankton that consumed it at the surface — and in fact, plankton in shallow waters sometimes showed elevated levels of cesium. It could also be arriving with organic bits and pieces carried along by river water. It could have adhered to clay particles that came in contact with contaminated water; such radioactive cesium is tightly bound to clay particles and may not be easily transferred to marine life.

Sediment is complex stuff, he explained. Viewed up close, a single grain of what looks like sand is likely a mélange of mineral, organic matter, and pore water—the liquid trapped in the tiny gaps between particles. How contaminants are taken into these agglomerations is not well understood. Echoing Scott Fowler, Kanda noted that the composition and properties of sediments can vary dramatically.

Solving the mystery of the ongoing radioactivity will require a thorough analysis of the seafloor off Fukushima’s coast, he stressed. “Local communities are concerned. They want to know ‘When can we resume fishing?’ We scientists will have to answer this question.”

The key may be how long cesium stays put and the pathways for its uptake into the food chain. Given the 30-year half-life of Cesium^137, the sediments could be a possible source of contamination in the food chain for decades to come.

On July 22, TEPCO (Toyko Electric Power Company) announced it believes radioactive contaminated groundwater was leaking into the ocean because the water level fluctuation of contaminated groundwater in obervation holes was seen to be linked with the tidal level. Radioactive substances had been detected in the groundwater at observation holes as early as May. TEPCO began taking countermeasures to prevent these waters from flowing into the ocean in late June: (a) Injection of chemicals (liquid glass) into the ground to create impermeable wall-like structures; (b) Cleaning and sealing trenches; (c) Construction of impereable wall on the ocean side. Longer term plans being considered, include: (d) Installation of impervious wall ont he land side using soil freezing method; (e) Pumping up groundwater on the mountainside and discharging it to the ocean, creating a sort of a bypass. However, these measures have faced criticisms. For example, in the case of measure (a), such walls could not be created near the ground surface, and this raised concerns groundwater could go over them and reach the ocean. The effectiveness of plan (d) has also been questioned by civil engineers.

Highly Contaminated Radioactive Waste Flowing in Aquifers below Fukushima Reactors

Ocean Sciences Meeting, Woods Hole marine chemist Matt Charette, Feb. 24, 2014: Submarine groundwater discharge as a source of radioactivity to the ocean from the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant – [Cs-134, -137] have remained elevated over ~two years and exceed background values in the coastal ocean off Japan. [...] groundwater is infiltrating the NPP reactor buildings at several hundred tons/day and being transformed into highly contaminated radioactive wastewater [...] TEPCO has acknowledged ongoing direct radionuclide inputs to the local aquifer with the potential for transport to the coastal ocean via submarine groundwater discharge (SGD). We present results from a May 2013 survey [...] key radionuclides of concern (Cs isotopes, 90-Sr) will be presented [...]

Oceanus Magazine, published by Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Nov. 2004:

Contaminants may be introduced into groundwater [...] flow underground toward ocean [and] can influence [sea life] abundance. Groundwater often flows for long distances. Submarine groundwater discharge [will] often carry a substantial amount of [...] pollutants. Water at the bottom of the ocean — [Scientists try to determine] where groundwater is entering the sea, how much is flowing out, and how fast. Infrared cameras on planes [...] detect thermal contrast and see where groundwater is discharging. [Radioactive] radium and radon [are] useful indicators of groundwater discharge [since] they are not cycled or decayed as much as they would be in exposed seawater. Automated seepage meters [...] allow researchers to track flow of groundwater continuously [and] obtain high-resolution, long-term records of submarine groundwater discharge. NSF, WHOI, Cove Point Foundation, and NOAA provide funding for this research.

(below) At Fukushima Diachi, three nuclear reactors (with inherent design flaws and misleading or otherwise erroneous horizontal and/or vertical earthquake survivability resistance figures) malfunctioned during an earthquake because they were designed incorrectly then it was covered up. The faulty design had been designed and marketed by General Electric, and faulty reactors were sold and built in about 14 places in the U.S., and in Japan, and likely many more around the world. 

At Fukushima, one reactor destroyed itself with a nuclear explosion, two others perhaps had hydrogen explosions.

At Fukushima, at least one reactor destroyed itself with a nuclear explosion, and two others perhaps had hydrogen explosions. But, in all three, reactors blew up into the atmosphere contaminating it practically, forever ...and the nuclear cores melted down into radiocactive molten lava, remaining molten; they will remain lethal practically, forever. The radioactive molten lava soon burnt thru the thin concrete walls of the containers that were supposed to contain the lava.

Then, the molten lava radioactive cores — which will remain radioactive and lethal for about 250,000 years or so, burnt down thru the Earth far below beneath the reactors, into underground rivers (called aquifers) flowing from the mountains to the sea. The aquifers came down from the mountins, ran underneath the nuclear reactors, then continue running out into the Pacific Ocean. 

Since March 2011, hundreds of tons of water every day pass by the radioactive lava cores.

Since March of 2011 (3/11–Fukushima, not 9/11-WTC), hundreds of tons of water every day pass by the radioactive lava cores. They poison the water with radionuclides, and the water, now carrying hundreds and thousands of tons of radioactive materials every day ...and itself, immediately becoming radioactive 24/7/365, all flows underground under the seabed of the Pacific Ocean. Then it bubbles up into the ocean, up to the surface. When the water travels underneath the floor of the ocean then bubbles out from underground, out into the sea, coming up in it from underground, out into the the sea, coming up from sub-marine (under the water) freshwater springs and rises to the surface of the ocean, it carries radionucles in solid, liquid and gas form.

These forms can vary, some are more lethal than others, and some kill you faster, and some kill you slower. These lethal accumulations can be referred to as a 'hot spot'. Some hot spots kill you faster, some kill you slower. They all destroy you and your body's immune system, some instantly ...cause you're melted and fried, some slower, gifting you hundreds of immune deficiency diseases and cancers and leukemias of the eye, and brain, and breast, and prostate, and skin, and bones, and other organs ... some just rot your body slowly, over a period up to 30 years to manifest, and some destory your heart, for example, upon contact, or otherwise weaken it to destroy you over time and Time, again.

It doesn't matter how old, or how young you are, if you reside in your mother's womb, or ovum or father's sperm

And, it doesn't matter how old, or how young you are, or if you currently reside in your mother's womb, or her ovum or in your father's sperm. If nuclear industry radionuclides touch your life, or what will become of your life, you are instantly marked for malformation (mutation), disability, deformity, and up to hundreds of immune deficiency diseases leading to cancer and leukemia. If you, or any living thing such as a tuna, or salmon, or herring, or plankton, or whale, or dolphin, or seal, or turtle were next to this emerging radioactive spring of solid, liquid and gaseous radioactive water riotious with hot particles, you would instantly die.

These hot spots, which is what collections of lethal radioactive radionucldes in solid, liquid or gaseous forms are called (that is, collections of hot particles) ...and that remain lethal from a few seconds to a few hundred thousand years, or billion years practically, forever ... flow in oceanic currents from Japan all the way across the ocean to the west coast of America, and then around the world from depths of the bottom of the sea to the top. Like a slice of Life ...or, in this case, a slice of death. At the same time, atmospheric depositions also occur.

If you were a whale or dolphin or other sea mammal swimmng & eating in radioactive currents with plutonium or iodine radionuclides, you would instantly die or your flesh start to burn off

If you were a whale or dolphin or other sea mammal, and you were swimmng and eating in that radioactive current of plutonium or iodine radionuclides, you would instantly die or your flesh would start to burn off. If you were farther away you'd get burnt and poisoned and your rotting flesh would fill with bacteria and viruses which would then mutate from radionuclide exposure into new forms of viruses and bacteria then form new and mysterious diseases not seen before and consume your body. If you swallowed some contaminated water, because you were fishing for food, or plankton, you would be poisoned by the food you ate, or by the plankton you ate ...and your insides would burn you alive in slow motion. 

Sometimes, a hot spot can kill you instantly, but if it was a tiny amount, like one atom, it might take a lifetime of being slowly burnt alive and rotting inside piece by piece, moment by moment, from the 1,000 or so radionuclides and their transmuting decaying daughters released by the Fukushima meltdowns into the air, and sky, and water, and rain, and sea, and earth, and Earth ...different radioactive elements target different parts of you; based on their chemical compounds, they instantly seek out different body organs that metabolize (utilize) non-radioactive forms of those chemical compounds ...and instantly replace, displace and/or destroy those compounds or convert them to radioactive forms which then proceed to target then destroy your heart, breast, bones, skin, and can either burn them up forever and eat you alive, till you get all kinds of immune-deficiency diseaes, organ failures, strokes, heart attacks, seizures, cancers, leukemia and all of your wounds rot and diseases and viruses set in and your goose is cooked — or, they can kill you instantly. However, if you were in your mother's womb at the time, or even an ovum in your mother that was't yet fertilized by your dad's sperm and the ovum or sperm was exposed to nuclear industry radiation your DNA could be mutated, burnt thru, severed or torn or otherwise mutated; then you could end up different than the others of your species.

All life forms, all animals of every kind, all plants of every kind & bacteria & viruses

But that's if you're a mammal in the sea like a whale, or dolphin; or, if you're a fish or a turtle or any thing that is alive, in the sea ... . However, this also applies to, and includes all life forms, all animals of every kind, all plants of every kind, and bacteria and viruses.

If you're a girl marine mammal

Also, if you're a girl marine mammal, all your ovum can get shredded by the microscopic radionuclde fireworks from sparklers to sky rockets, so that if you even have a baby for the rest of yor life, it turns out like nutty putty or wet clay, which people do not find desireable, as miscarriages occur for ocean mammals who ate or drank anything poisoned by the nuclear industry byproducts.

If you're a human mammal

And, if you're a human mammal, not living in the sea but on land, and you are exposed to airborne radionuclides, or you breathe air with airborne fallout, or you drink water exposed to airborne fallout, or eat vegetables exposed to airborne radionuclides or eaten a bug or plant or any life form with external or internal exposure to airborne or waterborne radionuclides ... you are instantly marked for disease then death. And, the nuclear industry byproducts can go on killing for hundreds and thousands and hundreds of thousands of years ...some, for billions of years, according to the experts.

If you're an animal or plant that lives on the Earth

But, guess what, if you're an animal or plant that lives on the Earth, on land ... owls and eagles and birds flying through nuclear industry waste die and fall from the sky onto the earth, they have seizures, just like the seals and walrus and whales and get cancer like they do, too and diseases just like the fish, and squirrels, and rabbits, and dogs, and cats, and cows and horses ... and people, too. And trees, and hay, and eggs, and milk, and leafy vegetables, and non-leafy vegetables, and root crops.

Currently, there are insane men and women and straights, lesbians, bi-sexuals, trans-sexuals, queers and hermaphrodites (LGBTQ+) running the world who teach children and adults that nuclear energy is safe and clean.

Look at the animals that nuclear industry tortures and destroys, the people nuclear industry tortures and destroys ...you decide foryourself if nuclear is safe and clean

Scroll thru theses pages [of the two-volume companion book series and this website], look at the animals that nuclear industry tortures and destroys, the people nuclear industry tortures and destroys ...you decide foryourself if nuclear is safe and clean ...or, not. If it's not, then you will understand why all the sand and tortured life form in these e-books and website are visiting you, telling you, sharing and showing their story ...so you can help them...

...then, you have to decide what to do with the leaders of the nuclear industry, who have deceived you because they are as evil as evil can be .. they have known how dangerous nuclear is since they created it and /or had it created for them almost 100 years ago.

When we use nuclear power, we create something nature tried to destroy to make life possible

"Until about two billion years ago, it was impossible to have any life on Earth; that is, there was so much radiation on Earth you couldn't have any life — fish or anything. Gradually, two billion years ago, the amount of radiation on this planet — and probably in the entire system — reduced and made it possible for some form of life to begin. Now when we go back to using nuclear power, we are creating something which nature tried to destory to make life possible. Every time you produce radiation, you produce something that has a half-life, in some cases for billions of years. I think the human race may wreck itself; it is important that we get control of this horrible force and eliminate it. Nuclear power is not worth it." — ADMIRAL HYMAN G. RICKOVER, U.S. NAVY OFFICER, ENGINEER, AND DRIVING FORCE BEHIND NAVAL NUCLEAR POWER.

"For this other death — not by plague, this time, not by poison, not by fire, not by artificially induced cancer, but by tghe squalid disintegration of the very substance of the species — this gruesome and infinntely unheroic death-in-birth could as well be the product of atomic industry as of atomic war." — APE AND ESSENCE, BY ALDOUS HUXLEY (1949)

[Editor's note:] His nerdship Bill Gates wants to finish you off by spreading the cancer of sodium reactors killing you with (while robbing you of) your own taxdollars - (when did we ask Bill to rule Earth & run our lives?)

open letter from Arnie Gundersen, Fairewinds Energy Education (original text) ... to Bill Gates, (here)

Note: Excerpts - an an open letter from Arnie Gundersen — Fairewinds Energy Education (original text) ... to Bill Gates:  Mr. Gates, during fifty years of developing nuclear power expertise, I learned that sooner or later, in any foolproof system, the fools are going to exceed the proofs …it’s time for you to face the music (and the facts): marketing hype associated with your latest “brainchild” ignores 70-years of fails using liquid-sodium- based reactor coolant. 

— Mycle Schneider, Politico E.U.:  “All they have are PowerPoint reactors ...far from an operating pilot plant.” 

— Union of Concerned Scientists , Advanced Isn’t Always Better: Is different better? The short answer is, no.” 

— Forbes Magazine:  “Wyoming To Lead Coal-To-Nuclear Transition: Interest for nuclear plants growing beyond Wyoming as Montana, Nebraska, Utah, Idaho and North Dakota [explore] advanced nuclear reactors …brainchild of Bill Gates …has developed a 345 MW sodium-cooled fast reactor with a molten salt-based energy storage system.” — Scientific American, liquid sodium “dangerous as it is captivating … On contact with air, it burns; plunged into water, it explodes." 

— Bulletin of Atomic Scientists: “Private industry tried in the 1960s to operate its own commercial-sized  fast-breeder, Fermi I; benefits were negative. Barely three years after Fermi 1 came online, a partial fuel meltdown in 1966 brought it down.” — In the book. We Almost Lost Detroit, other sodium-cooled reactor fails in U.S. and worldwide.

American Nuclear Society, Admiral Rickover, founder of the nuclear Navy, testified to Congress in 1957: “We went to full power on the Seawolf ... on August 20 of last year.  Shortly thereafter, she developed a small leak. It took 3 months, 24 hours a day, to locate and correct the leak." Rickover killed Navy’s sodium-powered reactor due to leaks, volatility, repairs and radiation exposure. — After failed attempts to use liquid sodium on the Seawolf and Fermi 1, nuclear zealots convinced U.S. Congress to subsidize a sodium- cooled reactor at Clinch River in Tennessee.

Rise and Demise of the Clinch River Breeder Reactor  in Scientific American: “In 1982 …Energy Department videotape safety tests how molten sodium can react in contact with a reactor’s concrete containment. Concrete contains water crystals. Molten sodium reacts explosively with oxygen, including oxygen contained in water. The test demonstrated and video showed concrete exploding in contact with liquid sodium."

— Monju sodium reactor ... After cancelation of the Clinch River fiasco, those nuclear zealots continued to pursue the fantasy of a sodium-cooled fast breeder reactor at the Monju site in Fukui Prefecture, Japan. After 4-months, plagued by inevitable sodium leaks and sodium fires , Monju reactor had an emergency shutdown! The Monju sodium reactor took ten years to construct, ran intermittently for one year, and failed to operate for twenty years. Japan government's subsidized costs, exceeded $11 Billion.

Reuters: “With Monju’s shutdown, Japan’s taxpayers are left with at least 375 billion yen ($3.2 billion) to decommission its reactor, on top of 1 trillion yen ($8.5 billion) spent.” — Reuters, France has decided to cancel its sodium-cooled reactor designs for at least half a century!

Mr. Gates, during my fifty years of developing nuclear power expertise, I have learned that sooner or later, in any foolproof system, the fools are going to exceed the proofs … it’s time for you to face the music (and the facts): the marketing hype associated with your latest “brainchild” ignores 70-years of fails using liquid-sodium-based atomic reactor coolant. — Arnold "Arnie" Gundersen, Chief Engineer, Fairewinds Energy Education

Radiation Alert: Super typhoon hagibis hits japan, redistributes radioactive soil & waste (story, here)

Fukushima Daiichi’s radioactive waste is on the move again as Hagibis, the worst typhoon to hit Japan since 1958, dropped 30” of rain in 24 hours and millions of people were forced to evacuate due to flooding

by Maggie Gundersen, October 14, 2019

From the minute we learned of this Super Typhoon threat, we were gravely concerned for the people of Japan and the tons of highly radioactive debris sitting on the edge of the volatile Pacific Ocean on the former site of the six Fukushima Daiichi atomic power reactors. Three of those nuclear power plants had meltdowns in March 2011 leaving more highly toxic radioactivity than anyone ever anticipated having in one spot. Some of that poisonous debris has been raked up and confined to thousands of giant 1-ton jumbo plastic bags that were right in the path of Hagibis.  As we watched the news of the approaching Pacific super typhoon (tropical cyclone) with its 150 mile per hour (mph) winds, we worried for the people of Japan who have already faced the worst nuclear disaster on the planet. Since these events are just beginning to unfold, the amount of radioactive material released into the Pacific Ocean and surrounding environment is unknown as of Monday morning, October 14.

Maggie Gundersen, Chiho Kaneko and Caroline Phillips of Fairewinds Energy Education discuss the nuclear risk concerns for children not only near the nuclear disaster sites of Fukushima-Dai-ichiin Japan and Chernobyl in Ukraine, formerly the Soviet Union, but globally where areas near all nuclear power plants are contaminated with radiation. Since mothers in Japan especially bear the responsibility to protect children, they experience greater hardships in an environment where just expressing one’s concern about radiation is seen as a treasonous act. Even 30 years later, the Belarus government recognizes the merits of relocating children away from radiation contaminated areas but the children of Japan are socially forced to stay put in highly contaminated areas.

Maggie Gundersen, Chiho Kaneko & Caroline Phillips of Fairewinds.org interviewed by Margaret Harrington of CCTV Channel 17 in Burlington, Vermont, June 20, 2016: (here) .

Do children suffer worldwide from atomic power? Absolutely. CCTV host Margaret Harrington anchored a panel with Maggie Gundersen, Caroline Phillips, and Chiho Kaneko from Fairewinds Energy Education to discuss the health risks to children around the world from operating nuclear power reactors and their burgeoning waste. In the aftermath of the nuclear meltdowns at Fukushima Daiichi, mothers in Japan especially bear the responsibility to protect their children. As a result, they experience greater hardships in an environment where just expressing one’s legitimate concerns about radiation contamination is seen as a treasonous act. Meanwhile in Ukraine, 30-years following the atomic disaster at Chernobyl, the repercussions of massive radioactive contamination and government zoning continue to severely impact children living within 50 miles of Chernobyl’s epicenter. The United States is not immune to these worries and contentions as Tritium, Strontium-90, and Cesium 137 are radioactive releases that threaten the health of children living nearby leaky atomic power reactors and nuclear waste dumps.

Fukushima triggers jump in airline pilot & passenger heart attacks, cancers, rad symptoms

Flight emergencies — we analyze daily ...doors fall off, pipes break, babies have heart attacks — by Christina Consolo (RadChick)

When I did this interview with Alfred in Feb of 2014 I thought I was done with the plane stuff for awhile, and would continue to collect data and maybe revisit this topic in a year or so – and see how flight crews were faring flying another year through fallout. A close friend I have known since childhood (who is a nuclear decommissioning specialist) reviewed my data and told me he would be much more concerned with the planes "falling apart" from Wigner, than the pilots passing out - as that is 'recoverable' in most cases. Shortly after this meeting, MH370 happened.

Then another crash, then MH17...then another crash...and on and on...I recently told my daughter, I feel like I have been cramming for finals since February. I never expected there to be so many crashes, missing planes, planes shot down, ALL the flight emergencies we now analyze on a daily basis, doors falling off, pipes breaking, babies having heart attacks, passengers being out-of-control...but this...THIS newest one... AirAsia flight QZ8501... has my head spinning.

This was very unexpected, and I am very very disturbed by it. Already there is weirdness happening over and above the event itself. I have already been asked "When will you do an interview about AirAsia" and it hasn't been even 24 hours yet. One of the most important things we can do right now is collect every single story, tweet, and post about this, to save for perusal later. Early into events like these there is a LOT of disinfo but there is also a lot of truth, that may be scrubbed later (as in the case of MH370 & MH17). I hope to see Alfred cover this with Leuren Moret, because the work they have done with MH370 & MH17 is some of the most mind-blowing yet sensical stuff ever covered as far as aviation accidents, and the politics behind some of these events. In the meantime, let's hope they find this latest missing plane. I can not even begin to imagine how hard this is for the families of the passengers, and those who are STILL waiting to hear about their loved ones and MH370.

Alaska Marine Science Symposium (pdf), Jan. 20-24, 2014 (emphasis added): 2011 Fukushima Fall Out: Aerial Deposition On To Sea Ice Scenario And Wildlife Health Implications To Ice-Associated Seals (Dr. Doug Dasher, John Kelley, Gay Sheffield, Raphaela Stimmelmayr) - On March 11, 2011 off Japan’s west coast, an earthquake-generated tsunami struck the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant resulting in a major nuclear accident that included a large release of airborne radionuclides into the environment. Within five days of the accident atmospheric air masses carrying Fukushima radiation were transiting into the northern Bering and Chukchi seas. During summer 2011 it became evident to coastal communities and wildlife management agencies that there was a novel disease outbreak occurring in several species of Arctic ice-associated seals. Gross symptoms associated with the disease included lethargy, no new hair growth, and skin lesions, with the majority of the outbreak reports occurring between the Nome and Barrow region. NOAA and USFWS declared an Alaska Northern Pinnipeds Usual Mortality Event (UME) in late winter of 2011. The ongoing Alaska 2011 Northern Pinnipeds UME investigation continues to explore a mix of potential etiologies (infectious, endocrine, toxins, nutritious etc.), including radioactivity. Currently, the underlying etiology remains undetermined. We present results on gamma analysis (cesium 134 and 137) of muscle tissue from control and diseased seals, and discuss wildlife health implications from different possible routes of exposure to Fukushima fallout to ice seals. Since the Fukushima fallout period occurred during the annual sea ice cover period from Nome to Barrow, a sea ice based fallout scenario in addition to a marine food web based one is of particular relevance for the Fukushima accident. Under a proposed sea ice fallout deposition scenario, radionuclides would have been settled onto sea ice. Sea ice and snow editor’s note - index: snow  would have acted as a temporary refuge for deposited radionuclides; thus radionuclides would have only become available for migration during the melting season and would not have entered the regional food web in any appreciable manner until breakup (pulsed release). The cumulative on-ice exposure for ice seals would have occurred through external, inhalation, and non-equilibrium dietary pathways during the ice-based seasonal spring haul-out period for molting/pupping/breeding activities. Additionally, ice seals would have been under dietary/metabolic constraints and experiencing hormonal changes associated with reproduction and molting.

Radiation from Fukushima, APRN (Alaska Public Radio Network), Jan. 24, 2014: They’re having trouble sealing up the leaking nuclear power plants in Japan and they’re also having trouble disclosing what is going on there. Is this a reason to distrust Alaska seafood?

Researchers: Skin ulcers on Alaska wildlife after Fukushima were never observed before -- Also reported in seals from Japan -- We couldn’t document fallout pattern when plumes hit and animals were on the ice (AUDIO 

Little animals suffer, too

03:14 PM May 15, 2014 -8232- Butterflies: Death and mutations increase from exposure to Fukushima contamination; small level of cesium from Fukushima toxic to butterfly populations

Seals & walruses suffer

01:26 PM May 6, 2015 -8627- U.S. university testing animals in Pacific for Fukushima radiation - bodies riddled with tumors, eyes bleeding, covered in lesions - Some are missing testicles, eyeballs - Skin disintegrates, peels off, turns yellow - Mammals affected by diseases never seen in species (Photos)

10:03 AM May 16, 2014 -8233- Alaska, Bering Strait: Seals, walruses - livers crumble - hearts enlarge, lymph nodes yellow, blood-filled lungs; 300 seals found suffering hair loss, skin sores, lethargic behavior; dozens of walruses found with similar sores (PHOTOS) (AUDIO)

(1) Liver may crumble easily and discharge blood — (2) The heart is frequently enlarged and pale - granular, dry, and soft/decaying tissue —  3) Tissues may be congested, and blubber underneath lesions may be fluid-filled or have focal areas of inflammation — (4) Lymph nodes are often enlarged and swollen with an excessive accumulation of fluid. Lymph nodes may also look yellow and/or mottled. This shows the typical look of the lungs, which is very consistent between cases.

VOA transcript, Sep 1, 2015 Sharp Rise in Whale Deaths Being Investigated (here)

Sharp Rise in Whale Deaths Being Investigated - Since May, 30 dead whales have washed ashore on the Gulf of Alaska. (Deborah Fauquier, NOAA): ‘And the average for the whole year generally is 8, so it’s definitely significantly elevated and for us that was a reason for concern.’ The Extreme Mortality Event, as scientists are calling it, has triggered an investigation.

Huffington Post, Sep 1, 2015: Radiation in the Ocean - The West Coast of the United States seems under siege by negative environmental news… and numerous accounts of unusual coastal events: algae blooms, whale strandings, cancer in seals, collapse of fish stocks, and more… One argument has been the effect of radiation leaking from the [Fukushima] nuclear power plant reactors… and has been thereafter distributed by ocean currents; indeed there is evidence of a plume of increased concentration of Cesium-134, and other radioactive elements that have been observed at unprecedented levels, spreading out some 5,000 miles into the Pacific… In April of this year, there were headlines declaring that Fukushima radiation has reached the North American Shore and concerns were raised, spread through the Internet and press, that this was surely the cause of these otherwise inexplicable anomalous natural events. There is no Federal agency that funds monitoring of radiation in coastal water… So, yes, and no. No definitive conclusion, no clear argument that radiation is the cause of those coastal events which distress us so… The question is immensely important…

VOA, Sep 1, 2015: While President Barack Obama is in Alaska, he might have this question: Why have 30 dead whales washed ashore…   [NOAA's] Fauquier said the extreme mortality event was complicated… Fauquier noted that in the ocean, toxins move up the food  chain. Some of the whales actually filter the phytoplankton and the zooplankton… they get the toxins through that method... as you go higher up the food web, more toxin gets concentrated.... NOAA hopes to explain why whales died and why they perished in such great numbers.

Cordova Times, Aug 28, 2015: Whales..Thirty dead whales ….And no one knows why… when thirty of them die in four months, three times the usual rate, something is not right…. between 700 deaths over the years, scientists have managed to perform two full necropsies. For this particular event, they’ve done one limited necropsy… While they keep an eye on algae, they have been testing all possibilities. Possibilities like fallout from Fukushima, and while they did radiation testing as part of the limited autopsy, it came back with background levels that would occur normally in Alaska, said Julie Speegle, speaking on behalf of NOAA.

Newsweek, Aug 27, 2015: Over last few months, dead whales are appearing regularly on beaches along  Northern California coast. And, 30 whale carcasses washed up along the coast of Alaska, puzzling scientists.

Washington Post, Aug 30, 2015: Concerns mount as whales are found dead in Gulf of Alaska - Researchers are scrambling to determine what’s behind the death of 30 whales… Other dead whales have been reported off the coast of British Columbia…. starvation or disease could be behind the deaths… The more likely culprit is unusual water conditions.

NPR, Sep 1, 2015: Researchers say record low oxygen levels in Hood Canal are causing marine life to die off. Marine life is struggling to survive… We have been seeing lots and lots of dead fish on beaches, said Seth Book, with the Skokomish Tribe’s Department of Natural Resources… This is really the worst year in terms of the oxygen, said Jan Newton, an oceanography professor at the University of Washington… .
