“The number of children and grandchildren with cancer in their bones, with leukemia in their blood, or with poison in their lungs might seem statistically small to some, in comparison with natural health hazards. But this is not a natural health hazard—and it is not a statistical issue. The loss of even one human life, or the malformation of even one baby—who may be born long after we are gone—should be of concern to us all. Our children and grandchildren are not merely statistics toward which we can be indifferent.”

N-levels increasing in TEPCO well water

FROM: THE JAPAN NEWS

The amount of radioactive substances in groundwater samples collected from an observation well at the crippled Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant has increased, operator Tokyo Electric Power Co. said.
The company detected 2.4 million becquerels of strontium-90 and other materials emitting beta particles per liter of groundwater collected from the well on Monday, the highest level on record, it said Tuesday.
The well, about 40 meters from the seawall, is located near the turbine building of the No. 2 reactor, one of the three reactors at the nuclear plant that experienced core meltdown in March 2011.
