Elevated Radiation Readings in Tokyo and Fukushima Emissions: Related?


Well, I definitely suspect that the high radiation readings I saw last night on http://netc.com/ and again today in Honshu, especially around Tokyo and also on KyÅ«shÅ«, ultimately derive from Fukushima emissions. Here is a screenshot from today, which shows level 3 warnings, all of which were mostly level 4 warnings last night:


I wonder whether NEW emissions are responsible for the decided spike in private radiation monitoring data? [I check levels frequently]

OR, are Netc's reported spikes in radiation deriving from re-suspension of radionuclides caused by the TYPHOON currently impacting Japan?

What is causing radiation levels to spike? New emissions or strong winds?

Emissions at Daiichi had tapered last week but they started becoming more voluminous over the last few days. Here is an example from this morning taken from TEPCO 1 cam:


There is now a crane blocking the TEPCO 4 camview of the common spent fuel pool. I wonder why?

The TEPCO 4 cam view is actually quite distant from the buildings in the background. The crane must be quite a bit closer to the cam.
 

Indeed, Fukushima is a crisis without end. I'll be looking forward to reading Caldicott's forthcoming book with this title.
