In 2014 Fukushima University's Institute of Environmental Radioactivity said that the total amount of Cs-137 released was 20.5 PBq, 17 PBq to the air, and of the total, 12 to 15 PBq ended up in the Pacific Ocean. The 17 PBq to air, coupled with the I-131, would give 810 PBq (I-131 eq).
How much radiation has Fukushima released?
538.1 petabecquerels On 24 May 2012, more than a year after the disaster, TEPCO released their estimate of radioactivity releases due to the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Disaster. An estimated 538.1 petabecquerels (PBq) of iodine-131, caesium-134 and caesium-137 was released.
Did Fukushima release more radiation than Chernobyl?
The accident at Fukushima occurred after a series of tsunami waves struck the facility and disabled systems needed to cool the nuclear fuel. The accident at Chernobyl stemmed from a flawed reactor design and human error. It released about 10 times the radiation that was released after the Fukushima accident.
How far did radiation spread from Fukushima?
160 kilometers After a two-and-a-half year ocean journey, radioactive contamination from the Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan has drifted to within 160 kilometers of the California coast, according to a new study. But the radiation levels are minuscule and do not pose a threat, researchers say.
Is Fukushima still leaking radiation 2020?
Ocean radiation In 2020, the Japanese government lifted bans on Fukushima seafood, saying they met safety standards that are stricter than American guidelines for cesium in food. The radiation levels offshore of Fukushima have dropped in the years since, but some of the reactors there are still leaking.
Is Fukushima still radioactive 2022?
Japan's industry ministry and the IAEA have agreed to compile an interim report on the water discharge plan in 2022. Officials say it is now safe to live in most areas around the plant except for its immediate surroundings after extensive decontamination work.
Will Fukushima ever be habitable?
By Bruce Gellerman. A large area around the Fukushima nuclear power plant will be uninhabitable for at least 100 years.
How long will Fukushima be uninhabitable?
100 years A large area around the Fukushima nuclear power plant will be uninhabitable for at least 100 years.
Are the Fukushima 50 Still Alive?
The Fukushima 50 aren't on their own anymore — there are now about 400 Tokyo Electric Power Co. employees inside the plant. They work in rotating 12-hour shifts. The high levels of contamination make it hard to get supplies to them, so food and water are scarce.
Is the Pacific Ocean still radioactive?
There are natural radiation levels in the ocean and in beaches. However, nothing that would cause harm. We've tested shellfish collected from Pacific beaches in Washington for radiation and found extremely low levels, which is normal. There are natural radiation levels in the ocean and in beaches.
