[ RadSafe ] New Claim - Cesium near Fukushima now 10 times higher than previous highest measurement

[Brennan, Mike (DOH)]

I wasn't able to see anything more than headlines and comments.  The
headlines provided no detail or context, and the headlines were full of
foolishness, including the idea that a spent fuel pool can explode.

Friends on RADSAFE, is there any credibility to this claim or is it just
more anti-nuclear hype being spread by so-called "nuclear news"
that only posts anti-nuclear "news and conjecture" and ignores anything
that does not agree with nuclear power being the potential end of life
as we know it?

Over 1,000,000 Bq/kg of cesium near Fukushima plant - 10 times higher
than highest measurement in prior soil survey

 Environment Ministry's radioactive monitoring in Fukushima with summary
translation by Fukushima Diary:
http://www.env.go.jp/jishin/monitoring/result_pw130110-1.pdf
Soil sampled on Oct. 25, 2012 from beside an reservoir in Okuma

Cs-134 : 400,000 becquerels per kilogram (Bq/kg)
Cs-137 : 650,000 Bq/kg
Combined Cs-134, -137: 1,050,000 Bq/kg
Nikkei's report on the monitoring says the highest t reading was 96,000
Bq/kg of Cs-134 and -137 during last summer's research, detected in soil
from a reservoir in Namie.
