400 tons per day.

Some cooling is still needed to remove residual decay heat (heat that comes from radioactive decay, not from nuclear fission), but there is no overheating. I don’t think “hundreds of tons … each day” of water are used anymore.

Why is it necessary to pour hundreds of tons of cooling water on the fuel each day?

There were not “multiple” but 2 faulty sensors, and yes, they both failed in a way that showed maximum temperature. This is very old news. There is no overheating or nuclear reactions right now, it’s physically impossible.

Multiple faulty sensors? Going in the same direction?

What’s causing the apparent heat increases in Unit 2?

“this will continue to be needed for as long as the nuclear reaction continues”
There are no nuclear reactions occurring in Fukushima right now.

The red areas have activity of 1000 Bq/m3. A typical human has a volume of around 0.065 m3 and contains 7000 Bq of natural radioactivity, or around 107,000 Bq/m3. In other words, even the red areas are many times less radioactive than a typical human.

Note that the map shows only the contribution from the radioactive release. Normal seawater has activity around 12 Bq/m3 from potassium and rubidium, so cyan areas and everything below would have basically the same activity as normal seawater.

Our country has a big investment in people having cancer. Multi billion dollar business. And since business is the way we roll, then we really can’t expect much to be said about things that increase it.

I worry that this data has taken so long to be published and will generally be ignored by the media. We know so very little about the oceans, this is tragic and we and our habitat will suffer the consequences. For any researcher(s) to claim to understand concentration levels and effects on the food chain is a mistake. We have no history of such an occurrence so all this is pure computer generated speculation. I am sure this model was made with many “underlying assumptions” to make it easier to generate.

Please look carefully at those images. Note that they (and thus the study) assume no further releases from Fukushima. The world will see that nothing could be further from accurate over the next few decades

“But needless to say, there is some debate on this matter…”

Apparently not …at least according to your article.

What people don’t realize is the “safe” levels of anything are quite HIGH. It only seems safe to say that .1% will be impacted but when you expose millions of people a tenth of a percent becomes a sizable number. This radioactive waste is going to increase odds of cancer for many people and it won’t ever be connected, just like smoking only increases odds and doesn’t clearly and directly do it’s damage.

The leaks that are happening right now are worse than they had been saying. And the radiation will probably continue to leak for decades *at least*.

They have to continue to use water to cool the destroyed nuclear cores, and that water has to be stored in tanks on site – and this will continue to be needed for as long as the nuclear reaction continues.

It is those storage tanks that have *already* had massive leaks. They are making mistake after mistake – and I think that even if they we not making mistakes, that it would likely still fail. Fukushima is a fuster cluck.

I presume that doesn’t include the release(s) which seem to be in the offing as a result of leaking tanks and contamination of the groundwater.

Obviously, it doesn’t include potentially much larger releases which could eventuate:
