This has link to NRC and others phone call right after Fukushima
meltdown - I am sure that many of you will find it to be an
interesting discussion of dosimeters available to the fleet and other
responders to the disasters in Japan.

TEPCO to begin dumping groundwater into Pacific Ocean in May

Posted: 08 Apr 2014 05:35 AM PDT

These three photographs of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant
show the spread of the tank farm required to contain the contaminated
water accumulating at the crippled nuclear power complex.

After getting the approval of fishery cooperatives in Fukushima
Prefecture last Friday, Tokyo Electric and the Japanese government
have announced that they will begin pumping groundwater at the
Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant on Wednesday.

The fishery cooperatives gave their approval of the groundwater
release plan as long as the groundwater released into the Pacific
Ocean meets environmental safety standards and a third party is
involved in the inspection and discharge operations.  While the
government and the utility agreed that a third party will join in the
process, no nominations have been made for who that third party will
be.

The fishermen also demanded that the government assume responsibility
for any damage from rumors about the fishing industry.

Workers at Fukushima Daiichi hope to pump groundwater flowing from the
mountains near the plant before it mixes with highly contaminated
water in the basements of the crippled reactor buildings, but do not
know the levels of contamination that the water will have.

The utility says it will immediately start preparations, begin pumping
water by Wednesday, but it will take around thirty days to analyze the
groundwater prior to release.

According to the government and the utility, the pumping plan is
essential to partially dealing with the volume of contaminated water
accumulating for storage on-site.

TEPCO says running out of room to store contaminated debris at Fukushima Daiichi

Posted: 08 Apr 2014 04:43 AM PDT

Engineers from Tokyo Electric held discussions with officials from the
Japanese government on Monday where they communicated that they are
running out of room to store contaminated debris at the crippled
Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.  According to estimates
provided by the engineers, more than 560,000 cubic meters of debris
will be produced from decommissioning activities over the next 13
years.

Tokyo Electric believes that they can reduce some 340,000 cubic meters
of debris by burning wood debris and other combustible materials and
crushing contaminated rubble to use to pave roads within the plant.
The utility says that they can store 60,000 cubic meters in existing
storage facilities at the plant, but will need to find at least
160,000 cubic meters of additional storage space.
