In the rest of the world, doses were below 0.01 mSv or less, including neighboring Indonesia, the Philippines, South Korea, far eastern parts of Russia, and southeast Asia.
But what about the ocean taking 100,000 ton of radioactive water from the reactor leaks and spills?? okay, contaminated foodstuff is bad.

I've been away for two weeks and nothing has changed. I was hoping to read some positive news but I guess that was wishful thinking.
What is Mayor Sakurai trying to say? If you can't see it, it can't harm you? Where has this man been for a year and two months. He has learned nothing, nothing at all. It is just shocking
Incinerators in Japan have to go the way of the Dinosaur. Incinerators are extinct. Waste to Energy power plants that can capture the harmful radiation is what needs to be used today.

Looking at the underwater photos of SFP 3 of the twisted metal and knowing that a 35 ton piece of machinery dropped into it JapanGal maybe right about No 3. But for SFP of No 4 it maybe do-able. I think I remember reading the workers were looking for space at one time to store the spent fuel assemblies so Areva sounds like a knight in shining armor.

I think the person who drove to the mountains with the child's possible dead body at the time, in order to bury her did the killing. So why lie and say the child was abducted? She was only protecting herself from the punishment of killing her baby girl. She belongs in a padded cell for life.

It is sick, A two year sentence for cold blooded murder is just saying it's okay to kill your children, your mom, your husband etc. It does not make sense, now a 15 to 20 year sentence with some serious psychological attention thrown in maybe after 20 years she could get out

Being a person of African descent here in the US I have had to deal with racism and prejudice from people of African and European descent. I personally try to ignore it cause there is no changing ignorance with the knowledge of man's beginnings or the migration of man on this planet. Racists prefer to ignore the truth, but if we take off our clothes, we have all the same parts all men / all women perspectively so I don't really see what all the fuss is about. When a litter of kittens are born they are all different colors, thank goodness cats are not prejudice.

Yes, waste to energy power plant with a cesium capture installed. This is fabulous, okay there are 7 waste to energy plants in Japan so far and they could be upgraded to capture cesium too if they need to be. Heck I hope they build like 15 of the waste to energy power plants cause they will generate Lots and Lots of electricty.

I can not believe my eyes gogogo you said it. Someone actually put vinyl tape into a worker (s) hand and said fix the leak. Highly Radioactive Water is too dangerous to handle I thought. I hope against hope that the workers are okay this stuff is just too dangerous to play with.

This has been happening off an on for over a year now,
April 5, 2011: Tepco says it is continuing to pump millions of gallons of contaminated water, overflow from efforts to cool the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, into the sea. The move is to help cooling efforts as workers attempt to slow a major leak of highly radioactive water from the plant. Japan says dumping radioactive water in ocean doesn't violate law
April 6, 2011: Tepco says it has succeeded in slowing leaking water from the No. 2 reactor. Emergency workers have managed to stop the radioactive water, measured at 7.5 million times the legal limit, from leaking out of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant's reactor No. 2 and into the ocean, say officials.
There have been many incidents of leakage since April, 2011

should not an alarm go off if something fails in the equipment in Onagawa and Fukushima, can not alarms have a separate energy sources while monitoring systems equipment.

The ministry said local municipalities will be responsible for carrying out testing and that any item measuring above the set standard will not be permitted to be sold.
But how is it possible to do?? I'm just imaging how many food testing machines you would need to test all the products in any given supermarket or convenience store or bakery, restaurant supply stores etc.

Crap, TEPCO has been using the same references of a whole reactor for those crippled reactors there can be NO cold shutdown like state and NO decomissioning / dismantling of high radioactive scrap metal and goo. Bury it now and stop wasting time.

as far as I know there have been 2 previous incidents involving NPP's where meltdown has occured, Daiichi where 3 meltdowns happened last year need to be taken care of.
Originalusername,
the Soviets Did Indeed consider a melt through when dealing with Chernobyl.
