Today, Tokyo registered a much lower iodine 131 number: 79. This is compared to 210 on the 22nd and 190 on the 23rd. Several possibilities for this are suspected. We had a big rain that washed a lot of it into reservoirs. Also the short half life of iodine 131 is another possible factor. 79 is under the legal limit for infants, but Tokyo is still wisely advising parents to avoid it for now. Other areas near Tokyo did not register such high rates at any point.

no. 1 reactor is looking in better shape. Three workers trying to help restore the ability to cool the no. 3 reactor internally were exposed to a massive dose of radiation 120-180 millisieverts. They were rushed to the hospital. No.3 reactor, by far in the worst shape structurally, is a continuing problem. No. 4's cooling pool for spent rods is also a continuing problem. They are getting numbers for how cool it is that are very low, so they are assuming the sensor is broken.

What a slow, drawn out process. Wondering where the end is at....

Do you live in Fukishima? My wife's niece resides about 15 miles from the plants.She keeps emailing me she is okay and her family.She says that they go marketing there with no problem.Truthfully I think she is to proud to really tell me the truth.I hope she is not affected by this radiation that is coming from these plants.Hope you are not either Jerry

My wife was talking about the frustration at this long drawn out process.

I used to live in Fukushima, but not as close as your niece. 15 miles would put her in the "confined to house" 20-30 km radius. Wouldn't think she could go the market.

Do you feel like the government there has been completely forthcoming? No one here is calling that question one way or the other, but just now I saw a report ~ Earlier this week mothers were warned not to give their infants tap water, but now, today, they've been told it's safe. The moms are skeptical, I would be, too.

Very, very sad reports of mass burials. I understand that cremation is part of the religion and culture, so this must be very painful for folks who've already lost everything. But one of the reports summed it up, and it's chilling ~ They said at this point, it's become a numbers game.

Incredible footage of a major highway that had been ripped in two, repaired in three days and to see it, you would never know it had been damaged. That would and never will happen here. Beyond impressive.

We get news, but yes, it's drifted down the page. But you are all still in my prayers, daily. Very Really, lan. And thank you again, for checking in. You give us a view of this we'd otherwise never have.

LoveLea


Edit: That posting is an odd but effective form of therapy ~ I totally get. We look forward to the time when it's just back to you posting for the sake of posting. smile

Correct Lea,

Very, very sad reports of mass burials. I understand that cremation is part of the religion and culture

All my Japanese relatives were cremated and buried. You won't find a Urn for example on their fireplace mantle.

Sorry I made a mistake she called us today and said she lived 30 miles away from the plant which I am happy for her.She did marketing before the earthquake hit she told us also. I am glad your family is okay also.
