TEPCO releases findings on meltdown
The operator of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant says an early breakdown of a cooling system likely led to a meltdown at one of the facility's reactors after the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami.
Tokyo Electric Power Company on Friday released its findings on the accident at the Number 3 reactor, in a follow-up to a study made public in June 2012.
The previous study said the meltdown began at about 10:40 AM on March 13th -- 2 days after the disaster.
The new report includes an analysis of how the accident started. It says readings of a gauge early that morning showed that water levels inside the reactor were low enough to expose part of its fuel.
The low levels indicate that an emergency cooling system had malfunctioned.
The report also says fire engines began injecting water soon after 9 AM that day, but that the measure may have been ineffective because of pipe leaks.
The firm says similar leaks occurred at the 2 other reactors at the plant that had meltdowns.
The utility plans to continue looking into why and how massive amounts of radioactive substances were released from the damaged reactors.
Fukushima towns asked to host waste storage
The Japanese government has officially asked communities near the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant to host intermediate storage facilities for radioactive waste from the 2011 accident.
Environment Minister Nobuteru Ishihara and Reconstruction Minister Takumi Nemoto visited Fukushima Prefecture on Saturday.
The ministers asked Governor Yuhei Sato of Fukushima Prefecture and mayors of 3 towns -- Futaba, Okuma and Naraha -- to accept the construction plan.

Fukushima governor proposes new waste storage plan
The governor of Japan's Fukushima Prefecture says he will propose that storage facilities for highly radioactive waste be built in 2 of its municipalities, not 3 as requested by the central government.
Yuhei Sato was speaking on Wednesday about a storage plan that the government in Tokyo announced in December.
The plan calls on the prefecture and the 3 municipalities to allow building of intermediate storage facilities in Okuma, Futaba and Naraha towns. It says the government will buy 19 square kilometers of land in the towns for construction sites.
Sato said he told officials of the 3 towns about his idea of asking the government to drop Naraha from the plan.
He noted that putting the facilities in the 2 other towns would help in rebuilding areas around the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.
Radiation study planned for Fukushima workers
Japan's government will conduct an in-depth study of workers at the Fukushima Daiichi plant to find out how they were affected by radiation from the 2011 nuclear accident.
The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare will soon set up a panel of radiologists and other experts to determine specifically what and whom to study.
The ministry has already conducted medical checks of about 19,000 workers who entered the plant in the immediate aftermath. It recorded the results in a database. Some 30,000 workers have been engaged in decommissioning the damaged reactors.
The database does not include radiation exposure levels before the accident or details of lifestyle habits that could cause cancer, such as smoking.
This would make it difficult to separate the impact of exposure from the accident from other factors if workers develop cancer or cataracts.
The panel is expected to present a report to the ministry around May. Ministry officials say they hope to start a study based on the report some time during fiscal 2015, which starts in April next year.

Nuclear Wacht: japan Govt 's new plan for Fukushima waste storage sites NHK (03/27/2013)
Japan's government has shown Fukushima officials a new plan to build interim storage facilities for contaminated soil and other radioactive waste.
The plan calls for reducing the number of towns to host the facilities in Fukushima Prefecture from 3 to 2, following demands by local governments.
Environment Minister Nobuteru Ishihara and Reconstruction Minister Takumi Nemoto visited the prefectural government office on Thursday.
The ministers handed the plan to Fukushima Governor Yuhei Sato and representatives from 8 municipalities, and asked them to accept it.
The plan was revised after Fukushima officials demanded changes last month.
The facilities will store soil and other waste from cleanup work in areas contaminated by the Fukushima nuclear accident in March 2011. They are to be used until final disposal sites are ready.
The government originally planned to build the facilities in 3 towns near the plant -- Futaba, Okuma and Naraha.
The revised plan dropped Naraha because radiation levels there are lower and evacuees hope to return to their homes as soon as possible.
The plan calls instead for building a facility in Naraha to solidify ash from incinerating debris.
The government says it will purchase land plots for the interim facilities. But local governments favor renting the plots from their owners.
Government officials say they will explain their plans in detail to residents of Futaba and Okuma. But the residents are concerned because they have not been offered programs to help rebuild their lives and revitalize the local economy.
The focus now shifts to whether the government can develop convincing programs as well as acceptable prices for land purchases.

Fukushima accepts storage facilities
Nuclear & Energy Sep. 1, 2014 - Updated 00:28 UTC-4
The governor of Fukushima Prefecture has informed the central government of his approval of the plan to build intermediate storage facilities for highly radioactive waste in 2 towns within the prefecture.
Yuhei Sato informed Environment Minister Nobuteru Ishihara and Reconstruction Minister Takumi Nemoto about the decision at a meeting on Monday.
The meeting was also attended by the mayors of the 2 towns -- Futaba and Okuma -- near the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.
Sato said the construction of the facilities will be a heavy burden on local communities, but he wants to restore the environment as soon as possible.
The governor urged the central government to quickly enact legislation to stipulate that the stored waste will be moved out of Fukushima Prefecture within 30 years.
Fukushima Daiichi workers to sue TEPCO
Nuclear & Energy Sep. 1, 2014 - Updated 02:00 UTC-4
Workers at the damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant are planning to sue Tokyo Electric Power Company, demanding it pay wages suited for the dangerous work.
Four male workers at a TEPCO subcontractor will file a lawsuit at the Iwaki branch of the Fukushima district court on Wednesday.
The workers are doing plumbing work on tanks that store radioactive water at the plant.
They say their wages are too low considering the risk of radiation exposure they face. The workers are demanding TEPCO pay each of them about 96-thousand dollars in compensation.
They say their wages haven't changed even after TEPCO announced an increase in labor payments to subcontractors by around 96 dollars last November.
One of the plaintiffs in his 30s said he is worried about his health because his monthly radiation exposure levels sometimes exceed 4 millisieverts.
He said though he had been reluctant to voice his concerns over fear of losing his job, the lawsuit will make it easier for workers to speak up.
Lawyers call on TEPCO to accept settlements
Nuclear & Energy Sep. 1, 2014 - Updated 12:24 UTC-4
A group of Japanese lawyers is urging the operator of the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant to pay more nuclear damage settlements to Fukushima residents.
Lawyers with the Japan Federation of Bar Associations told reporters on Monday that TEPCO is not honoring its promise to respect proposals from the Science Ministry's dispute settlement center.
The ministry established the center in 2011 in order to mediate disputes between TEPCO and residents who have serious claims against the utility following the accident at the Fukushima plant.
More than 8,000 cases have been settled since the center started accepting applications 3 years ago.
But the lawyers said TEPCO have recently rejected a series of the center's settlement proposals. They include a class action suit filed by more than 15,000 residents of the town of Namie.

Fukushima News 6/16/14:Tepco's Ice Wall Plans Melting; Radioactive Waste-Conning Fukushima Residents
TEPCO finds water in tunnels not yet frozen
Workers at the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant say their effort to freeze radioactive water in underground tunnels hasn't gone as planned.
In April, they began pouring chemical solutions into tunnels at the No.2 reactor. They hoped to freeze the water to stop it flowing out to the sea.
But tests show the water remains above freezing temperature.
Operator Tokyo Electric Power Company believes objects in the tunnels are preventing the coolant from spreading evenly. They also said running wastewater is slowing the process.
They say they are planning to find ways to control the water currents and add pipes to pour in more coolant.
They say they may not be able to complete the frozen barrier by the end of the month, and dry up the tunnel next month, as scheduled.
They are trying the same process in a tunnel around the No.3 reactor. About 11,000 tons of wastewater is believed to be in tunnels at the two reactors.
TEPCO hopes to remove wastewater from tunnels around all reactors in fiscal 2014.
The utility also has to deal with groundwater flowing into the plant from nearby hillsides and mixing with contaminated materials. Workers have been creating a 1.5-kilometer underground wall of frozen soil surrounding all four damaged reactors.

Residents briefed on waste site
The Japanese government has completed a series of briefings for people from 2 towns in Fukushima Prefecture on a plan for storage facilities of radioactive soil and waste.
It has conducted 16 briefing sessions for former residents and owners of land plots to be used for the proposed intermediate storage sites in Futaba and Okuma towns near the crippled Fukushima Daiichi Plant.
The government plans to purchase 16 square kilometers of land in the area.
Many residents expressed concern that the site for the final disposal has not been chosen although the waste is to be removed from Fukushima Prefecture within 30 years after storage begins.
Some residents asked the government to inform them of how much it is willing to pay for the land.
The government plans to build storage facilities and start bringing in contaminated soil and waste in January.
It must come up with a plan that prefectural and municipal governments and residents can accept.

$ 80 mil. given to Fukushima for reconstruction
Japan's government is granting about 80 million dollars to Fukushima Prefecture and its 16 municipalities. The funds will assist local rebuilding projects since the 2011 nuclear accident at the Fukushima Daiichi power plant.
The Reconstruction Agency announced on Tuesday that the financial aid includes designing public rental housing for returning residents who had to evacuate. Funds have also been allocated for the resumption of farming and industrial activities.
The money is part of about 1.6 billion dollars earmarked by the central government to help local governments jump start projects in areas where evacuation orders have been being lifted.
Reconstruction Minister Takumi Nemoto says the grants will help speed up rebuilding efforts in areas that experienced delays because of evacuation orders.
Nemoto said the government will continue providing needed aid for the prefecture's reconstruction.

Ishihara: Money ultimate decider for storage plan
Japan's Environment Minister has been trying to clarify comments he made about building intermediate storage facilities for radioactive soil and waste in Fukushima towns.
Nobuteru Ishihara appeared to say that money can solve any problems.
Nobuteru Ishihara later told reporters that money will ultimately decide what happens.
The government hopes to begin sending contaminated soil and debris to the facilities from next January. But the plan needs approval from the host towns and Fukushima Prefecture.

Fukushima governor irked over remark
Fukushima Governor Yuhei Sato has expressed displeasure over the environment minister's remarks.
Fukushima--Hanford updates August 30, 2014
The governor of Japan's Fukushima Prefecture has officially accepted a government proposal to build intermediate radioactive waste facilities in 2 of its towns.
The central government plans to build the facilities on 16-square-kilometer lots in the towns of Futaba and Okuma, near the damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant.
On Saturday, Governor Yuhei Sato met in the city of Fukushima with the mayors of Futaba and Okuma as well as 4 other towns and villages near the plant.
After the meeting, the governor officially announced the decision to accept the facilities.
The governor said the prefecture scrutinized government plans and judged that the facilities are essential in removing nuclear substances and restoring the environment. He added that it was a difficult decision.
The mayors of Futaba and Okuma said they take the prefecture's decision seriously, suggesting that they will accept it and will allow the government to start negotiating land acquisitions with the owners.
They also confirmed that they will continue to urge the government to enact legislation that would stipulate that the stored waste will be transferred from the prefecture within 30 years. They will also call on the government to sign a pact that guarantees the safety of the facilities, and to draw up a blueprint for the community's future.
The central government plans to start having the soil transported in January.
Sato and the mayors of Futaba and Okuma Towns are expected to meet Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on Monday, after conveying the decision to Environment Minister Nobuteru Ishihara and Reconstruction Minister Takumi Nemoto.
The Department of Energy (DOE) issued a statement Friday insisting a hydrogen gas release at Hanford last month was not an unexpected event. But the DOE does not challenge KING 5 s exclusive report disputing the duration of the potentially dangerous release.
On Thursday, KING 5 challenged the DOE s assessment of the March 15th release, which stated it was an expected 36-hour event. Based on information from confidential sources, KING 5 learned the release actually lasted much longer, up to five days.
This is important because a federal panel assigned to oversee the safety of the nation s defense-related nuclear operations this week issued a report critical of the DOE s ability to identify gas build-ups in the massive storage tanks and to prevent possible ignitions, which could lead to releases of radioactive materials.
Friday s DOE statement maintains the tank named AN-105 is one of five double shelled tanks that has regular releases of hydrogen gas, so the March event was not considered unexpected.
KING 5 maintains the duration and intensity of the release elevate it beyond what could be considered expected.

They vacuum carpets, welcome you home after work, run tours, deliver mail, even build cars.
They're robots - and the best of them were recently on show at the largest ever Robonexus conference in Santa Clara, California.
Now it seems, automated beings are ready to take their place in society - and we'd better make room.
VOICE-OVER:
Isaac Asimov wrote in his famous book I Robot that the people of the future would be suspicious of robots.
There was no sign of that at the Robonexus show in Santa Clara, California, quite the opposite, in fact.
And why not, if like this $US150 Roomba robot, they vacuum the carpets for you.
The manufacturer iRobot has sold more than a million of them.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
I've always been interested in getting machines to do tasks that normally people do and the economics of that are if you can get machines to do tasks that people don't want to do, then there's a business there.
SUPER CAPTION: Rodney Brooks, iRobot co-founder
Here's one you almost certainly couldn't afford - the five-foot-tall HRP-2 from Japan.
Kawada Industries leases them for around $US500 thousand.
This is about as humanoid as robots get - stretching, lying down and getting up again.
Humanoid programing is the holy grail of robotics.
Here's a smaller version with its inventor Jin Sato.
He says humanoid programming is quite a challenge.
SOUNDUP: (English)
You should try humanoid programming. Lot's of fun. You lose lots of hair. I've lost about an inch over three years.
Though not strictly a robot, Dean Kamen's Segway Human Transporter, shows how ready we are to adopt labour-saving devices.
'Flexo' has been programmed to follow a red paddle.
It took a lot of labour says its inventor, who hasn't come up with an application, yet.
SOUNDUP: (English)
It took many, many months of work.
Ted Larson, CTG Robotics
Another technology in its early days is the exoskeleton, robotic devices that you strap on to amplify your own strength.
The technology magazine Servo held an exoskeleton-assisted weight lifting competition.
SOUNDUP: (English)
Nice work...nice...four hundred and forty five pounds!
But it's today's children who will really benefit from robotics.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
I love seeing the kids so excited about robotics and so knowledgeable. I had a kid come up to me and ask if we were using sonar. He couldn't have been more than five. And I looked at him and said, Sonar! Do you even know how sonar works? He said, Yes, it's very similar to a bat - as it sends out signals it's reflected back. That's just fabulous that kids his age have that kind of understanding of technology. And it makes you feel good about where we're going to be in the future.

Most Extreme Elimination Challenge: (hint hint)
Food over new limit for radioactive cesium
Following the introduction of new safety regulations in Japan, several types of food have been found to contain radioactive cesium above the legal limit.
Stricter health standards for staple foods such as vegetables and rice were introduced on Sunday. Permissible levels of radioactivity were reduced from 500 to 100 becquerels per kilogram.
Health ministry officials said bamboo shoots harvested in the Kisarazu and Ichihara regions east of Tokyo were contaminated with 120 and 110 becquerels of radioactive Cesium per kilogram respectively.
Officials also said shiitake mushrooms grown outdoors in Miyagi Prefecture, northeastern Japan, were found to contain 350 becquerels of radioactive Cesium.
Farmers voluntarily refrained from shipping these agricultural products to market and they will not be distributed to consumers.
The government is considering whether to order a compulsorily suspension of all shipments of contaminated bamboo shoots.

minister suggests no-return zone
Another Storm in Northern Japan, and ENENEWS headlines
Japan's reconstruction minister has hinted unofficially that some areas near the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant may have to be declared off-limits indefinitely.
Tatsuo Hirano made the comment in a meeting on Tuesday with Fukushima Governor Yuhei Sato and Mayor Katsutaka Idogawa of Futaba town near the crippled nuclear plant.
Hirano suggested that some areas may remain unsafe indefinitely because a large amount of highly radioactive waste water is being stored at the nuclear complex.
The water was generated in the process of cooling the reactors.
Hirano's view differs from that of the government, which has recently re-zoned Fukushima's evacuation areas based on how long it will take to make them habitable.
The government has promised to decontaminate all affected areas so people can return to their homes in stages.

Fukushima News 12/10/13:Nuclear Waste Forced On Fuku Towns; Baby Radiation Scanner Revealed
Fukushima towns will be asked to host waste sites
Japan's Environment and Reconstruction ministers will visit Fukushima Prefecture on Saturday to ask local communities to host intermediate storage facilities for radioactive waste.
The government is planning to build the storage sites in the towns of Futaba, Okuma and Naraha, all of which are close to the damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. An expert panel judged that the towns are capable of hosting such sites.
The facilities are designed to hold contaminated soil and debris gathered during decontamination work for up to 30 years before it is disposed of outside the prefecture.
The Environment Ministry announced on Monday the visit by Environment Minister Nobuteru Ishihara and Reconstruction Minister Takumi Nemoto.
The 2 ministers will meet Fukushima Governor Yuhei Sato and mayors of the 3 towns.
The towns have so far accepted the feasibility study for the sites, but have not accepted the hosting plan itself. Some local residents have voiced opposition.
Senior Vice Environment Minister Shinji Inoue said the government wants to carefully explain the details of the construction plan.

Food over new limit for radioactive cesium
Following the introduction of new safety regulations in Japan, several types of food have been found to contain radioactive cesium above the legal limit.
Stricter health standards for staple foods such as vegetables and rice were introduced on Sunday. Permissible levels of radioactivity were reduced from 500 to 100 becquerels per kilogram.
Health ministry officials said bamboo shoots harvested in the Kisarazu and Ichihara regions east of Tokyo were contaminated with 120 and 110 becquerels of radioactive Cesium per kilogram respectively.
Officials also said shiitake mushrooms grown outdoors in Miyagi Prefecture, northeastern Japan, were found to contain 350 becquerels of radioactive Cesium.
Farmers voluntarily refrained from shipping these agricultural products to market and they will not be distributed to consumers.
The government is considering whether to order a compulsorily suspension of all shipments of contaminated bamboo shoots.

minister suggests no-return zone
Another Storm in Northern Japan, and ENENEWS headlines
Japan's reconstruction minister has hinted unofficially that some areas near the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant may have to be declared off-limits indefinitely.
Tatsuo Hirano made the comment in a meeting on Tuesday with Fukushima Governor Yuhei Sato and Mayor Katsutaka Idogawa of Futaba town near the crippled nuclear plant.
Hirano suggested that some areas may remain unsafe indefinitely because a large amount of highly radioactive waste water is being stored at the nuclear complex.
The water was generated in the process of cooling the reactors.
Hirano's view differs from that of the government, which has recently re-zoned Fukushima's evacuation areas based on how long it will take to make them habitable.
The government has promised to decontaminate all affected areas so people can return to their homes in stages.
