Images of Radioactive Releases From Fukushima 2011

Last edited Fri Apr 26, 2013, 09:14 PM - Edit history (1)

Here are two images showing some of the radioactive materials released from Fukushima after the March 11, 2011, destruction of the 4 Fukushima nuclear power plants.

A lot of this was deposited in the waters off the coast. Some made it to the US and some blew back onto Japan. Not clear is how much came from the emergency cooling water that was used in pumping sea water into the plants for emergency cooling. Water that flowed out of the plants onto the ground and back into the ocean.

This image no longer shows on my computer??? It was about the spikes in radiation in the days of the explosions and fires. I guess enenwews blocked the pic? Here is the link
