“TEPCO Drops Bombshell About Sea Releases; 8 Billion Bq Per Day”
by SimplyInfo
5 billion bq of strontium 90
2 billion bq of cesium 137
1 billion bq of tritium * (later corrected to 150)
This daily release would add up to 11,680,000,000,000 = 11 terabequerels over 4 years time in addition to the initial sea releases during the meltdowns.
With a translation of a related portion of a TEPCO document released to METI just yesterday the total releases of this new admission are even higher than the 11 Tbq mentioned.
The chart, that can be seen here, shows the releases until 2014 were considerably higher. Releases dropped in 2014, likely due to work underway to try to block leaking water. TEPCO also has a section of where they think they will get once remediation work is finished that is lower yet, but that is not achieved yet based on the TEPCO document. This drastically changes the estimated releases to the sea in total. We came up with a rough estimate of about 673 Tbq for 3 years at the 2013 rate, this would be in addition to any initial sea releases during the meltdowns.
It was pointed out last night that the tritium number quoted by TEPCO in the press conference does not match the graph they released to METI. The TEPCO rep gave the verbal reading of 1 billion bq per day. The chart shows 150 billion bq per day of tritium. The other numbers stated by the TEPCO rep seem to match the chart. This change increases the total numbers to 4710 billion bq per month at the current 2014 rate. The bulk of this is tritium. This number change would make one year at the 2014 rate 1,719,150 billion bq for an annual total 1.7 Petabecquerels in a year at this rate.”

A comment: The Pacific Ocean is DEAD, and so are we all, in slow motion…
“Fukushima Equals 6,000 Hiroshima Bombs Today, More Tomorrow;
There is No Place On Earth to Escape the Rad”
“First thing, grasp the difficult concept that this is an ELE or Extinction Level Event. There is no escaping our fate, there are no solutions.” Read this post:

Do you really understand what an extinction level event is? That doesn’t just mean sea life, it means US, too, slowly… Do a Search on this blog for “Fukushima”, it’s all there if you want it. Nobody “wants” it, including me, but there’s no escape, no technology to deal with it, and it cannot be stopped or “fixed.” God help us all… - CP
Humans could tackle Fukushima by creating a barrier and containment dome against future releases. I said the day after the incident that the world community of scientists could create a Think Tank of experts to deal with this issue but Japan keep hiding the truth, down playing the scope of the disaster. Shame on Japan and it’s people for demanding the problem be fixed, even now TEPCO lies continually and repeatedly.
The only tanks they are capable of creating are killing innocents in Novorossiysk. Death to jewAmeriKunts !!!
This dose is extremely high.
The LD50 dose of radiation poisoning of humans is 500 millisievert.
To recalculate Bq to Millisievert you have to convert to millicurie first.
8.000.000.000 Bq = 216 Millicurie = 216000 millisievert.
No wonder the pacific is turning into a dead ocean….
