January 04, 2021 - Radiation exposure in Fukushima: Between lying and self-deception
Almost ten years after the reactor catastrophe, one thing is clear: the operator and the state cannot keep their clean-up promises.
Just a few months after the core meltdowns in 2011 in three of the six reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, the operator The Tokyo Electric Power Co., known abroad by the abbreviation Tepco, and the Japanese government, then already the de facto owner of the nuclear power plant, met power company, an agreement: the molten nuclear fuel should be recovered from the destroyed reactors within a decade.
Even then, connoisseurs shook their heads at the ambitious schedule. Shortly after the disaster, it was suspected that the melted reactor cores had at least partially escaped from their pressure vessels and flowed into the containment vessels. If this scenario is correct, there would be no existing technical solution to get the radiant material, called corium, out of the piles...

The Fukushima disaster and its consequences
Earthquakes and tsunamis
On Friday, March 11, 2011 at 14.46:129 p.m. local time, the earth's crust of the Pacific plate suddenly plummeted 9,0 kilometers east of the Japanese coast. A 40 magnitude earthquake struck and 19.000 minutes later, multiple tidal waves struck Japan's east coast. As a direct result of the earthquake and tsunami, over 561 people died, 120.000 square kilometers of land were flooded, XNUMX buildings were destroyed and hundreds of thousands more buildings were seriously damaged ...
The consequences
According to a study by the French Institute for Climate and Environmental Sciences (LSCE) in Paris, the radioactive substances released in the Fukushima disaster were widely spread by typhoons. "The cyclones would wash out the soil in the region around Fukushima, in which radioactive material such as cesium-134 and cesium-137 has been deposited". The substances found their way into rivers and the Pacific.
In 2017, radiation levels were measured in the four destroyed reactors so high that people inside would die after a few minutes. The risk of ionizing radiation escaping from reactor 1 has increased significantly. In units 1 and 3, probing the situation even with robots is highly problematic. In Unit 2, a large hole was discovered under the reactor pressure vessel, believed to have been caused by falling atomic fuel. Thyroid cancer cases among children in Fukushima continue to rise.

Downplaying and amateurish behavior in Fukushima
Appease and downplay
In order to reassure the population, the Japanese government tried after the GAU - like the Soviet one after Chernobyl - consistently to prevent the whole truth from coming to light.
Already on the day after the disaster, a leak of radioactive radiation was denied, and the media spread reassuringly that everything was under control. It wasn't until two weeks after the disaster that TEPCO admitted that radiation levels in reactor 2 had been increased by a factor of 100.000...

Chronicle of the Fukushima nuclear disaster
Fukushima I is the oldest and, with six power plant blocks, was also one of the most powerful nuclear power plants in Japan. It is based on boiling water reactors of an obsolete type from General Electric, the safety risks of which have been discussed many times. In addition, some mistakes were made in the construction of Fukushima I. The power plant site was secured against tidal waves with a 5,70 meter high protective wall; only 3,12 meters were required. The older reactor blocks 1 to 4 are built an additional 10 meters (above sea level), the newer blocks 5 and 6 by 13 meters ...
