On 29 Oct 2011, I measured radiation in front of a gate of an elementaly
school in Kiwa city, Chiba pref. Japan
The monitorinig place is 200 km from Fukushima Nuclear power plant, and 35
or 40 km to Tokyo, called "Tokyo Hot Spot".
The monitor indicates 0.28 micro Sievert per hour in air at chest hight,
3.52 on roadside sand at ground level.
I am afraid that schildren's lung may chatch the dust from this sand in dry
and windy days.
100m from this school, There is a Garbage Ash Landfill facilities of Kashiwa
city.
It is told that radioactive materials are con densed in garbage ash. Kasiwa
city laid such high polluted ash in the landfill place near this elememtary
school till June 2011.
Measuring instrument is made of Ukraine. ECOTEST MKS-05.
3.52μSv/h、柏市富勢西小学校の校門前の砂の上で。

10/27/2011 The Simpsons Called It: Three Eyed Fish Caught Outside a Nuclear Power Plant

“We were fishing and we got the surprise of getting this rare specimen. As it was dark at that time we did not notice, but then you looked at him with a flashlight and saw that he had a third eye,” said fisherman Julian Zmutt of his unusual discovery.
The men have decided to let it be tested to see if the mutation was actually a result of it being exposed to the water from the nuclear plant.
The Embalse Nuclear Power Station is one of the two operational nuclear power plants in Argentina. It is located on the southern shore of a reservoir on the Río Tercero, near the city of Embalse, Córdoba, 110 km south-southwest of Córdoba City.
The plant is a CANDU Pressurised Heavy Water Reactor (PHWR). It employs natural uranium (that is, with 0.72% of 235U), and uses heavy water for cooling and neutron moderation. It has a thermal power of 2,109 MW, and generates 648 MW of electricity, with a net output of about 600 MW, supplying nearly 4.5% of the production of the Argentine Interconnection System (2005).
Additionally, Embalse produces the cobalt-60 radioisotope, which is employed in medicine (cancer therapy) and industrial applications. Argentina is one of the largest producers and exporters of this isotope in the world, along with Canada and Russia.
Embalse was started in 1974 and began operation in 1983 (first criticality March 13 1983, declared commercial Jan 20 1984). It was built by an Italian-Canadian consortium formed by AECL and Italimpianti.

Fishermen in Córdoba, Argentina caught a three-eyed wolf fish in a reservoir fed by a local nuclear power plant, which will surely hinder the plant’s owner’s attempt to run for local office.According to Infobae.com, the lake where the three-eyed fish was caught is a reservoir where hot water from the nuclear facility is pumped, and that folks living nearby have started to grow worried after seeing undeniable evidence of mutation. Never had such a fish been seen there before.

TOKYO, Oct. 27, Kyodo
A government food safety panel finalized
its report Thursday calling for limiting cumulative internal radiation
exposure during a person's lifetime to below 100 millisieverts, a
benchmark beyond which the risk of cancer increases.
Following the Food Safety Commission's conclusion, which updates an evaluation by its working group in July, the health ministry will convene an advisory panel meeting Monday to revise its provisional limits for radioactive substances in food set after the Fukushima nuclear crisis triggered by the March 11 earthquake and tsunami.
The current provisional limits such as 500 becquerels of radioactive cesium for rice, vegetables, meat and fish per kilogram, and 200 becquerels for drinking water and milk are expected to be lowered with the commission's advice.

10/27/2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster lifts Shell profit
Source: The Indepedent
Date: 10/27/2011
by: Peter Cripps
Spiralling oil prices and strong demand for gas after the Fukushima nuclear disaster helped Shell double its profits between July and September.
Europe's largest oil company reported profits of $7.2 billion (£4.5 billion), up from $3.5 billion (£2.2 billion), at a time of continued fuel price misery for British motorists.
Shell has benefited from a 48% rise in oil prices - partly caused by unrest in the Middle East and North Africa - as well as a 2% increase in production, excluding asset sales.
Natural gas prices have risen nearly a third after the Fukushima nuclear disaster boosted demand as Japan sought alternative sources of power.
Today's figures, which were in line with City expectations, come two days after BP reported a three-fold increase in profits to $5.1 billion (£3.2 billion) for the three months to September.
The Hague-based group said its investments in big new projects including in Canada and Qatar were paying off, while the result was also boosted by stronger refining margins. It plans 20 new investments between 2011 and 2014.
Earnings at its downstream business, which includes its petrol stations, increased by 24% to $1.8 billion (£1.1 billion).
Chief executive Peter Voser also said that although Shell had already met its target of $5 billion (£3.1 billion) of disposals this year, including the $1.2 billion (£750 million) sale of Stanlow refinery in Cheshire, sales of "non-core" assets would continue.
Shares rose 0.7% today. Richard Hunter, head of equities at Hargreaves Lansdown stockbrokers, said the results were a reminder of why some investors adhere to the adage "never sell Shell".
He added: "The update may be the cause of some admiring glances from arch rival BP, currently in the midst of its own transformation."

The high court in London is to hear a case over the use of uranium-enhanced weapons by U.S.-led forces during the infamous Iraqi Battle of Fallujah in 2005. This, following a number of reports alleging their use was much more widespread than originally thought. RT talks to Christopher Busby, the co-author of two such reports and a visiting professor at the school of Biomedical Studies, the University of Ulster.
