RADSAFERS - do any of you know how to change messages to plain text using
GMAIL.  I used to do that before posting to RADSAFE, which I do not think
does well with HTML.  Here is claim by "professor" in Japan about Plutonium
in the water that is leaking from Fukushima.  Is this claim valid?

Thanks.

A MBS radio interview with Prof. Koide: the repeated leaking problems at
Fukushima Crippled Plant. Additional report: Plutonium should be in the
leakage! 汚染水問題に関する小出先生のコメント、報道するラジオより。 追加報告:プルトニウムも汚染水に混じっているはず!
 (Source) http://hiroakikoide.wordpress.com/2013/04/14/mbs1179_2013apr12/
 (Extract)

The most recent report on the leakage problem said that about 22 liters of
radioactive water had leaked from gaps between the pipes used to transfer
it from underground water storage tank into an another tank, and that the
level of radioactivity in the water was *290,000Bq/m3.  *

 This is so high that the leakage is unsafe to approach.  Prof. Koide
commented that according to Japanese law, the safety level of radioactive
water that can be discharged into the environment is 0.05Bq/m3, or
0./03Bq/m3 if it contains strontium, so it is easy to imagine how high
290,000Bq/m3 actually is!
 Dousing it or injecting it with water is the only way of continuing to
cool the molten fuel, and this requires 400tons of water every day.  Prof.
Koide also observed that *the leaks will carry on for as long as Tepco
keeps using water to cool the molten fuel, possibly for at least 40 more
years, or as long as it takes to decommission the plant.*

 He also commented that although Tepco keeps making new tanks to combat the
problem, this solution would not work for ever, and urged the company again
to bring a tanker to store the water.
 On top of the reported leakage problems, Prof. Koide reckons that there
must have been many cracks in many different places in the trenches and
pits and also in the concrete basements of the reactor and turbine
buildings, which must have been damaged by the M9 earthquake in March 2011.

 He has kept on advising right from the beginning that Tepco should have
arranged to bring a tanker to store the contaminated water and should have
built a huge underground dam to stop it leaking into the environment.  However
Tepco has never followed his advice, citing *cost* as one of the reasons.
 ------------------------------------------
 It looks like a never ending problem!  One source said that these problems
will mean a greater chance of TEPCO having to dump untreated contaminated
water into the sea.
 It looks like leaking has been always happening anyway, and it became an
apparent problem as the tanks and the pipes started to leak.
 The underground tanks were meant to store low level of radioactive water
after being filtered through ALPS.  But they have been using them to store
high level of radioactive water (including the *β (beta)* emitting *nuclide*,
Strontium and the *α (alpha)*emitting *nuclide*, Plutonium).
 Tepco has been trying to get ALPS to work for some time but it’s still in
its trial stage.  ALPS is supposed to filter 62 radioactive nuclides.  However
Tepco seems not wanting to mention the *α (alpha) *emitting *nuclide*isotopes.

*[Suspicion] Tepco stated they won’t analyze leaking water for the α **emitting
nuclide “by mistake” Posted by Mochizuki* on April 15th, 2013

 According to Mr. Koichi Oyama, a member of city council of Minami
soma-city, Uranium fuel at Reactor 3 was consisting of 9% of
Plutonium(MOX).  He shows a list of ionizing radiations that were
discharged from the crippled plant in the video below.(9m45s)
 *An interview with Mr. Koichi Oyama from Minamisoma (Oct.2011) *
 <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BKA9it2CWE&w=420&h=315>
 in the video* at 9m45s* Mr. Oyama shows *four* kinds of plutonium isotopes
that were observed.  But in press conference held by Ministry of Education,
Culture, Sports, Science and Technology on Sep.30th, 2011 just* three* of
them were brought to light.
 The last one was *plutonium241*, which had radiation dose about *50 times
as much as *the total of the other three(PU238, PU239 & PU240).
 A Plutonium contamination map by MEXT published on 12/8/12.

 On Page7-10, is a list of the report on sixty one different locations in
Fukushima, Miyagi, Ibaragi and Tochigi prefectures spanning a radius of
80km of the crippled plant.
 Extract...

*[...Prefecture - city/town/village - **緯度 latitude - 経度 longitude -
PU241(lower limit of detection)-...]*

 You can see that different lower limit of detection have been applied,
therefore..
 *“No Detection” does not mean that there are no isotopes!  On page11 only
the places they detected more than the lower limit of detection level were
marked. *
