Radiation doubles to new high in Fukushima No. 1 plant water
ditch 24 Oct 2013 Tokyo Electric Power Co. said Thursday that radiation
rose to a new record in water collected from a drainage ditch at its stricken
Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant. Tepco said it detected a maximum of 140,000
becquerels per liter of beta ray-emitting substances, including strontium, from
a water sample collected Wednesday from the ditch, which extends to the sea
beyond the plant's port. The figure is 2.3 times higher than the previous record
of 59,000 becquerels detected in water sampled at the same location Tuesday, and
was more than 11 times the previous day's reading. The
measurement location is about 600 meters from the open ocean and close to the
storage tank that leaked some 300 tons of radioactive water in
August. [And, not a
peep from cable news! Apparently, 300 tons of radioactive water leaking into the
sea doesn't rate as high as Obama's website glitches.

Human rights experts rap U.N. report dismissing concerns about
Fukushima radiation 25 Oct 2013 Human rights experts, including a U.N. special
rapporteur, are criticizing a U.N. scientific report dismissing concerns about
the effects of radiation from the Fukushima nuclear disaster on the Japanese
public. Speaking Thursday at an event organized by U.S. and Japanese
nongovernmental groups, U.N. special rapporteur on the right to health Anand
Grover took issue with the report's conclusion that "there is nothing to worry
about" for members of the public exposed to radiation from Fukushima No. 1. The
report was prepared by the U.N. Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic
Radiation.
