1. Reality might more serious / Unit#1
2. about 10mSv exposure for year / Children
1. Reality might more serious / Unit#1
• Malfunction in measurement hardware found and repaired• So now what can be found newly?
– fuel rod : about 4m– Originally reported 1.5m out, left 2.5m in water– Now that repaired hardware show that
water is 5m below from top of fuel rod. So completely out of water!
• If not in water, should generate high temp, right?• But now showed 100 - 120C degree.• So estimated that fuel rod got melt down and
dropped down to PV (Pressure Vessel) bottom.

1. Reality might more serious / Unit#1
• TEPCO admit that water is leaking from NPP, • as a result of estimation that fuel rod is
out of water completely.

So I gonna follow up.

2. about 10mSv exposure for year / Children
• MEX reported.• For Children in Fukushima-pref, • accumulated radioactive exposure• in average 9.99mSv for one year since the incident.• Calculation model :
– Weekday 24h• >> 06h ;
– 01h ; Go to school– 02h ; stay outside at ground– 03h ; play outside after school
• >> 18h ; – 05h ; inside school building / concrete– 13h ; house / wood
– Weekend 24h• >> 08h ; outside• >> 16h ; house / wood
• * Estimated 2.56mSv accumulated for 34 days since 3.11,• (Continued)

2. about 10mSv exposure for year / Children
• According to survey with geiger counter, conducted by school teachers, from April 27th to May 8th,
• 0.22mSv /h (Ave) 0.98mSv /h (Max) 0.03mSv /h (Min)

2011/05/112 months past,
but no big progress
1. New Leak reported at Unit#32. Leak not-controlled at Unit#23. Tea Leaves contaminated in
Kanagawa-pref
Before going into topics….
• 2 months past, • but no big progress.• So…. forget this?• Now is not the time to cool down discussion and
your commitment.
@ 2011/05/11
1. New Leak reportedat Unit#3.
• Unit#3– Cesium 134
• Reported so high.• No actual Bq is described.
– Iodine 131• 96Bq / 1cc
• Leak was confirmed around 10:30am, recovered 18:45
• Source ; http://www.asahi.com/national/update/0511/TKY201105110351.html– Maybe original source can be found in TEPCO website.
So I gonna follow up.
@ 2011/05/11
2. Leak not controlledat Unit#2
• As you know it well, some time ago, leak of contaminated water at Unit#2.– This is different from the incident that NPP released it
intentionally.
• It look like that could not hold contaminated seawater with siltfence.So most are supposed to be released into pacific ocean.
• Source : http://www.asahi.com/national/update/0511/TKY201105110215.html• I gonna follow up.

3. Tea Leaves contaminated / Kanagawa-pref
• Tea leaves got contaminated.– Cesium
• Tested twice. 550Bq and 570Bq.• Reguration : below 500Bq / kg
• Then– Kanagawa-pref requested farmers not to ship tea leaves
this year season. This is not an order but just request for self-restraint.
• What they will do next– Check once a week. If it is below level for 3 times
successively, it will be cancelled.

3. Tea Leaves contaminated / Kanagawa-pref
• Place– Minami Ashigara-city, Kanagawa-pref– about 280km from Fukushima Daiichi NPP– Right next to Hakone town.
• Sample– captured May 9th

Fixed Topics(apart from Daily Topics)
Is 20mSv safe enough?
• 20mSv– Originally only those who work in NPP.– But now this is for all, including children.
• Then 100mSv– This index is also mentioned in many news,
with phrase that 20mSv is nothing.
• *Of couse, nothing can be said safe.Yes, it’s the risk.But can you take such risk to your children?Please tell me your opinion.
