Could Spiking Fukushima Rads Be Caused by Nuclear Criticalities, Rather than Spilt Radioactive Water?


Over the last two days there have been new reports by TEPCO of spiking rad levels at Fukushima. TEPCO is blaming contaminated water spills and injection of chemicals around unit 2.

I think perhaps another criticality or fire occurred, based on my observations of the TEPCO and TBS cams. 

October 7, PURE WATER posted this video of a large light behind units 3 and 4 (I watched it live in my office)

Later that day I commented at Enenews about the ‘big light’ visible behind units 3 and 4. I noted that the July 5 2013 criticality/fire (substantiated by Iodine-131 and Xenon detections) was also marked by the presence of a burning light in this same location.

I suggested if rad levels spike again we can presume that this big light is in some fashion correlated with probable criticalities. (my comment http://enenews.com/forum-fukushima-webcam-discussion-thread-june-30-2012-present/comment-page-94#comment-394868)

October repeated the July pattern. On October 9th and 10th, rad levels spiked dramatically, according to TEPCO:

Oct 10 (Reuters) - Radiation levels in seawater just outside one of the damaged Fukushima reactors spiked this week to the highest level in two years, the operator of the crippled Japanese nuclear plant said on Thursday.)

I think another criticality or fire may have occurred.

  1. I think another criticality and/or fire occurred too, Majia. The csfp has been smoky, and the criticalities seem to be increasing. I feel trapped here in the Northern Hemisphere.

  2. Thanks for your vigilance and I agree. I dream that there is, or would be, a way to cause radioactive elements lose their radioactivity.
