Estimation of radionuclide emission during the March 15, 2011 accident at the Fukushima-1 NPP
(Atomic Energy Journal Volume 112, Issue 3), July 2012:

“According to estimates made by the present authors, the following
radionuclides entered the atmosphere on March 15, 2011 (PBq): ~400 iodine,
~100 cesium, and ~400 inert gases.”

Wikipedia’s entry on Chernobyl states, “20 to 40% of all core caesium-137 was released, 85 PBq
in all.” The source cited is Chernobyl: Assessment of Radiological and Health Impact -Nuclear
Energy Agency (NEA)
The same source gives another amount for the Chernobyl release that is considerably less,
“However, more deposition data were available when, in their 1988 Report, the United Nations
Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR) gave release figures based
not only on the Soviet data, but also on worldwide deposition. The total 137Cs release was
estimated to be 70 petabecquerels (PBq)” -Nuclear Energy Agency’s 2002 assessment of
the Chernobyl disaster
According to the Committee on an Assessment of CDC Radiation Studies, National Research
Council: “35 PBq of Cs-134 and 70 PBq of Cs-137 were released into the atmosphere” at
Chernobyl.
Fukushima’s total cesium releases are considerably higher than the 100 PBq stated in the July
2012 study, as that included only atmospheric releases and none of the plant’s record
discharges into the ocean (up to 47 quadrillion becquerels)… and it is only based on the amount
from a single day.

Japan owes that data to THE WHOLE WORLD. And don't know if the U.N.
has any spine these days, but if it does it needs to condemn Japan as an
outlaw nation, and issue arrest warrants to drag people off to The Haag.
Killing millions of people (animals, plants, everything) now and in the future is just "fine"
because Japan is "the third largest economy in the world"?? That in itself is a complete
accounting fraud by now. That nation is GONE!! And any claim to MORALITY is gone.
This is an outlaw nation and sanctions should be applied.
Unfortunately, the United States will in no way be taking the lead. To the contrary. In
fact, what we fear is some new deadly diversion because "people were going to die
anyway, and now we don't even have to talk about it." it's becoming dangerous for a lot
more reasons than just radiation.

FUKUSHIMA SOLUTION 1: Stop Inflowing Groundwater
Build the Impermeable Wall inland from where it starts beside Reactor1.
Run inland to a place well behind Reactor1.
Turn left, and extend Wall behind (inland from) Reactors1-4.
Completed Impermeable Wall will form a rectangle completely surrounding Reactors1-4.
This will block the groundwater from entering the area under the reactors, where it becomes
contaminated.
The 1,000 tonnes of uncontaminated inflowing groundwater per day that enters the FDNPP
will be diverted by the Impermeable Wall into the harbor.
This will take the place of the Frozen Wall, which will no longer be necessary.
This is not rocket science. This is water.

FUKUSHIMA SOLUTION 2: Move Water Storage Offshore
Oh, and while we're at it, bring in double walled barge tanks. Park them in
harbor, and transfer ALL the contaminated water from those tanks and ponds to the
barges. Take the filled barges out to sea, filter out the nuclear nasties, and dump them
into the Trench. Probably, you will want to pump the filtered water deep down in the
Trench, rather then have it float on the ocean surface, where it will cause trouble. You
will need a separate barge for the filtration operation, and probably a small ship to
serve as crew quarters. Couple of tugboats to move the barges around. Let's get right
on this one. OK?
Report comment

scottyji
Good ideas.
However, fresh water is less dense than sea water. If you pump it down,
its tendency will be to rise to the surface. Mixing it first with some sea water and
then pumping it down will have more of the desired result you propose.
I appreciate your "solutions-based" comments in this forum.

FUKUSHIMA SOLUTION 3: Closed Loop Heat Sink
Install two lines of groundwater wells inside the Impermeable Wall
Rectangle, in a line along the harbor, with a second line of wells running behind
(inland from) Reactors1-4. (The line of wells behind Reactors1-4 is already in
place.).
Cooling towers for this system can go where the tank farm is currently located.
Cooled water can be circulated into Containments1-3, as needed.
Excess cooled water can be injected using the line of wells behind Reactors1-4.
Of course, the line of wells along the harbor extracts groundwater for cooling and
filtration.

The groundwater level inside the Impermeable Wall can be controlled by adding or
removing water.
Filtration of the water in the Closed Loop Heat Sink system may be necessary to
keep it from fissioning.
The need for a Closed Loop Heat Sink has often been mentioned by Arnie
Gundersen, BTW. Great idea, Arnie!

MoonlightEmpire
Though I'm sure a better system can be built, the ALPS system for
filtering/decontaminating water at Daiichi has been an utter failure. At
perfect conditions, it can only filter about half of the nuclides from the water, the
rest stays. ALPS is a very expensive system, and hasn't even come close to
operation, let alone peak efficiency.
So the idea of filtering the water on the barges is out until a tested and proven
system can be developed.
Further, no water must ever be pumped into the ocean, filtered or not. That type of
thinking just perpetuates the mentality that got the world into this situation. The
Earth is not humanities dumping ground. The plants and animals of the planet are
not here for humanities whims. We are supposed to be symbiotic. The fact alone
that anyone would consider dumping anything into the trench off the coastline
shows poor judgement and lack of understanding.
All contaminated water–every last drop–must be brough INLAND and managed
thoroughly and appropriately. Hey, if it takes five thousand acres of tanks to hold
F-Daiichi's contaminated water for 100K years, then so be it. Then, and only then,
will the people wake up and realize what they have done. Then we will see change.
If you dump this water in the ocean, there will be no evidence of what has
happened. The perpetrators will go free. Over time, billions-not millions-of people
will die from this. Humanity: Face the consequences or seal your fate.

Do you know how much uranium & thorium was put into seawater by Mother
Nature ??
please take a moment and read this…
http://web.ornl.gov/info/press_releases/get_press_release.cfm?
ReleaseNumber=mr20120821-00
the ocean's estimated 4.5 billion tons of uranium. Although dissolved uranium
exists in concentrations of just 3.2 parts per billion, the sheer volume means
there would be enough to "safely store the entire world inventory of radcrap, if
properly mineralized into chemically stable vitrified compounds"
[my quotes]
since the beginning of time, all life on earth has evolved in balance with a
really scary amount of naturally occurring radioisotopes
..no, I'm not in favor of sloppy ocean dumping, I'm a fisherman and own
waterfront oyster clam kelp-beds holothurian stichopus aquaculture, and
demo'd the original method of geoduck clam aquaculture.
The uranium mining industry knows how to extract the radwaste out of
Fukuradwater..
the technology is getting better every week..
A crash program building a bunch of bigger breakwaters outside the small
existing one at Fuku is extremely important.
The ocean is more resilient than you think, it's not HolyWater.

21st: I'm aware of the huge amounts of naturally occuring
radioactive elements on the planet, but thanks for the
interesting link, though I wouldn't ever support the idea it presents…If
there is 3.2 ppb of naturally occuring uranium in the oceans, then good,
so be it….leave it there. These companies are again looking at the
natural resources of the Earth as things to be exploited for personal
gains. As long as we keep this mentality, we will not succeed. Imagine
how much water you have to "skim" through their "filters" in order to

accumulate the quantities of uranium they are talking about in the article.
That's a lot of water to be squeezing through a fine mesh. There are
billions of living organisms in a teaspoon of rich compost…and similar
with ocean water.
If the technology is so good and getting better all the time for extracting
radwastes from Fuku-like water, then that's all the more reason for every
last drop to be stored inland on TEPCO owned property if necessary
until it is all made pure and drinkable by infants according to pre 1800AD
standards. I don't believe the technology is that good. If it is, then what
are we all fussing about?
I do support your mention of multiple breakwaters. They need many, and
they need to be very large. The one they have is barely still there (the
tsunami destroyed it).
And yes, the ocean is resilient, but again, that is no excuse for
admonishable behaviors.

MoonlightEmpire: We don't have time to argue over

OK fine, if you want to be stubborn about not one drop in the ocean,
you can go ahead and begin your upland campaign.
Yeah, your plan is a better plan if we had 5 more years to fiddlefuk
with it you might get your project completed..
I have fought a few fires in my time, forest fires, house fires, vehicle
fires, shipyard fires in drydocks, vessel fires at sea in a storm, and
large industrial foundry fires..
TEPCO failed in their upland campaign, their collection of tanks are
too heavy for the ground support on that hillside parkinglot.
Any kind of upland water project is riddled with nearly as much risks
of spillage into the ocean as just putting it on good solid inspected
double hulled chemical tanker ships guarded by the Navy.
Putting it on tankerships could be done in a week..

each minute that goes by without another damaging event is a

Cofferdam IS being constructed right now, David. Which is good news.
They call it the "Impermeable Wall".
http://ex-skf.blogspot.com/2013/07/fukushima-i-nuke-plant-contaminated.html
The bad news is that they are building it only half way around Reactors1-4.
The bad news is that as they build it, groundwater backs up behind the wall, and
begins to flood the buildings.
(Perhaps they should have started building this wall behind and uphill from
Reactors1-4, then worked on the harborside part last.)

would someone please take him out behind one of the reactors and knock
some sense into him, preferable with something large and blunt.

PhilipUpNorth, you are obviously a smart guy, but why be so Johnny-OneNote about impermeable walls? The one they built already
CATACLYSMICALLY FAILED!!!The water goes UNDER the wall to the sea. It is also
about to go OVER the wall. And what the wall held back has hyper-saturated the land
to the point that what is left of the complex will all fall down.
Impermeable Wall is not good news, Philip! It is BAD news! It is VERY bad news! Please
stop pushing it!

Yea, but it will cost lots and lots of money do all of this..
There is no money.
They barely have enough $$ for used metal/plastic tanks, duct tape and baling wire as it is.
Who wants to dump money into a black hole.
It is much easier and cheaper to ignore it, deny it is happening, and walk away from it.
Plus very profitable, because as people get sick, the medical side of the nuclear industry
makes $$$$ mucho mucho…

Good idea by the way…
Then tunnel underneath and seal off from below.

"Seal off from below." Great idea. You could use the Frozen Wall
technology to seal off the reactors from below. Drill, using a slantwise
drilling machine, and freeze the ground underneath the reactors, perhaps put a
horizontal frozen wall at the very bottom of the Impermeable Wall. Freeze the
corium, too, if any remains within reach.

Repost from The Blue Light, who recommends using epoxy to
create the hirizontal barrier at the bottom of the Impermeable Wall:
"October 3, 2012 at 7:17 pm · Reply
"Hi Anne, hope you are well.
"I didn't explain it too well. We can steer the cutting head on a drilling rig to
drill in the horizontal. As for the epoxy barrier when the oil companies do
frakking they pump in fluid, at pressure, to fracture the rock. In this case the
fluid is epoxy, we pump it in and then leave it to set, job done. you then move
forward ten feet or so and do it again until you have gone 'all around the
houses' so to speak. If you want a thicker barrier then you just drill ten feet
further down. Think concrete but held together with epoxy instead of cement.
"As for finding the cores, seismic mapping has been used for finding ancient
ruins, water, oil, gas, ore bodies etc. for decades, you could also use thermal
terrain mapping. Its not down some mile deep hole there is nowhere near
enough energy in the, once melted now solid, coriums to do that. If they did,
the whole building would have fallen in after it by now. Speaking as a physicist
who's specialism was criticality my bet would be that the coriums are 15 feet
under the containment, +/- 5 feet and +/- 10 feet north, east, south or west.
Sadly we wont find out for some time. Perhaps we could start a pool on its
where abouts.
"Good night all."
Many thanks, The Blue Light.

The best way to build your solid concrete wall cofferdam is to use 2-parallel
ice-walls to be the cement forms. You will run into time delays if you try to use
traditional hardware cement forms.
The best way to supply sustained refrigeration over a long period of time is to
use the icewalls for LNG-regasification.
Fuku1 is an ideal location to rapidly develop into a LNG import and
powerplant facility.
#1-a priority is drain the onshore tanks into barges&ships for treatment and
deep drilled injection disposal. Pressurewashed but still contaminated solid
materials can be carefully planted in discrete piles in the bottom of Japan
Trench, then covered & backfilled with electronic monitor fiberoptic telemetry.
#1-b priority is build another outer breakwater-seawall adding another ring of
water-dam offshore. Keep building seawalls building an outer harbor.
HDD-drilling can install Flexsteel pipe in a grid-work floor underneath the
reactors. Flexsteel standard-pipe is earthquakeproof down to -100F subzero
cold. Modified HDPE copolymer-resin can make it shatterproof down to -260F
LNG-cryogenic service.

Flexible insulated cryopipe is easy to use too…

Might as well dump all of the reactors down in the Trench too, while we are at it,
plus all of the stuff from the SFP's. Just get a big sky crane helicopter or big fleet
of them, lift the whole mess up and dump into the trench. Basta, done.
Bottom line, this is ILLEGAL, per international agreements.
Sorry no can do on this dumping radioactive water in the trench idea either.
The nuke industry has been dumping stuff in the ocean for decades..

We know this much…Fukushima Daiichi's six reactors and the Common Spent Fuel
Pond contains millions of pounds of nuclear fuel, including pure plutonium in the
French MOX fuel rods and the massive amounts of plutonium created over 40 years of
operation . Some has flown the coop. An enormous amount remains in buildings and the
ground around the island and probably all of it is going to be beyond human efforts to get it
contained. At best they might with a 10 trillion dollar effort stop the ocean releases. Maybe.
Looking long-term the other nuclear plants in Japan hold new horrors just like so many in
America, Russia. France, UK, China, India, and dozens more wannabes who fell prey to the
allure of "electricity too cheap to measure".
For example:
"As of the end of 2011, Japan had a stockpile of about 44 tons of separated plutonium: nine
tons in Japan and 35 tons in France and the UK…. Japan could,in a decade or so, be the
owner of about 100 tons of separated plutonium. Today, the total global stockpile of
separated civilian plutonium is about 250 tons. Including weapons
plutonium, about 70 tons of which has been declared excess, raises the total to about 500
tons.

A scientist estimates that FDNPP lost 40% of its load.

Using his figure, I calculated the full load for Reactors1-3 to be 690PBq of Cs-137. Since
Containments1-3 were breached, And since Corium1-3 may sit under the reactor buildings in
the ground, I suggest that it is accurate to say that there has been a 100% loss of the reactor
cores of Reactors1-3, putting emissions from the plant at 690PBq Cs-137.
Of course, this scientist gives no estimate for the amount of Plutonium and other nuclides that
blew up with Reactors1-3.
Nor, did the scientist guess at what burning spent fuel pools contributed to the emmissions.
Anyone care to attempt a calculation for total emissions of Fuku to date?
And, it ain't "over" yet, folks.
Biggest nuclear accident in history? Yoooooooou betcha!

So far, every last microgram of fuel on the entire site (all reactors, sfps,
common sfp, dry cask, water storage, and all contaminated equipment) will
be liberated into the air, water, and soil. How many PBq would that be?
As of this moment–the year 2 P.F. (Post-Fukushima)–there is nothing stopping this.
There is no such thing as unemployment.

The total release is whatever happens to 3 melted cores and all the
surrounding nuclear facilities. When the hydrogen builds up in the bottom of
containment is a matter of how long, not weather or not it happens. Then you ask, "will
the plant be clear of all other radioactive material of it explodes again?". If it has a
critical mass under containment due to concentration can it be controlled? The total
276 Quadrillion number relating to 1 isotope is just a sample of a isotope soup that
emits upwards of 25mSv at the plant. The instruments go wild frequently. They wont
give data on the entirety of a full core melt for isotopes they refuse to admit were in the
reactor in the first place. It's a MOX reactor with minimal containment. Disgusting fail
regulation.

Fukushima will not be referred to as the biggest disaster in history until quadruple

atmosphere and sea for more than 2 1/2 years.
Only then, maybe, will Fukushima be referred to as the largest catastrophic global event ever.
