Methinks questions about the corium (and others) are asked and answered, tongue in cheek, LOL. Reactor 3 went up in smoke, splatters, and smithereens all the way to Ibaraki, Reactor 1 and 2 are likely in the aquifer and out to see under the plant and finally, Reactor 4 was admitted to have been entirely vaporized not long after R3 blew up. Reactor 4 was the lynch pin to a 'Northern hemisphere' disaster. Well, it happened and we have to deal with it. This entire event is SO BAD that no one official dare speak the truth. They'd rather watch the bricks fall out of their B.S. wall, one brick at a time. Most people believe the MSM 'spin' and the rest of us, just hope for the best, not likely to actually get up and leave the West Coast, let alone be able to mitigate radiation out of the soil or our food. IMO, much of the United States, Canada, and Mexico have very contaminated soils, with less contaminated soil in patches, along the coast and inland too. It's very hard to tell without a geiger on the ground. Most monitoring sites use indoors geigers so as to slide by the elite radar for real information. It's a tricky business, since waves of radiation are still going into the jet stream from the Fuku plant, and monitoring a moving target like the jet stream is not easy. It takes a fan, a good geiger somewhat protected, and a spot in the wind outside your house. We may get to the point where a survey meter is better used outside than a sensitive Inspector geiger. Others use dosimeters just to get a quick 28 second reading but multiplying to get an average from a quick 28 second read is a useless task. It's good to know if something is hot, on the spot though.
Where did that Corium go, Martha, and what does this mean? By now, I'm sure the mil-ind complex has figured out a way to get a quick read on atmospheric, ionized radiation and on soil surfaces. Water is being tested for isotopes and standards were raised for background radiation in water, within the first couple of years after Fuku blew. The U.S. has the highest standard of food becquerels/kg. than anywhere else in the world, so that experiment is in advanced progress.
Japanese scientists are very careful to speak or make comments about radiation or harmful effects, since making a public ruckus can put them in jail for 10 years. Pathetic? Yes, and it could happen here if enough people woke up all at once. They know dang well where those coriums are! They are GONE, gone, gone like a sad sad song. The planet is breathing, ingesting, and inhaling them today and for a long time. I was reading a health site recently where several people in L.A. mentioned having hair samples tested for metals, only to have their samples come back with HIGH uranium readings! Did Porter Ranch do it to them or is it from food they are eating? My bet is Fuku did it. No one asked them how much sushi they've been eating or where it came from.
Mercury, Barium, and Cesium have the highest number of daughter radioactive isotopes created out of just one radioactive parent particle. Cesium 135 has a million year, half-life existence, actually more than that amount of time. The worst daughter product of Cesium is BA-137, a very nasty particle that lives only a couple of minutes and gives out a high energy gamma ray that does great damage to tissue. Pray that you never breathe one of those into your lungs! Where you find Cesium you will find BA-137 with it. If we knew the highest numbers of the other isotopes that came out of the reactors in Japan, I'm positive even I would be stunned by the information. The Fuku cover up and harmful effects expected is the biggest 'snowjob' in the history of mankind, imo.
The linked pdf talks about the difference between natural cesium and artificially created cesium. Cesium 137 attaches to soil, like crazy, so despite the external radiation hazards being less than ingestion, food grown in soil with Cesium will deliver various isotopes of Cesium in our food, for a long time.
The Fuku plant itself and the ocean water off Fukushima are 'hotter' than they've ever been. That the scientists say they don't know where that fuel fuel went is ridiculous. There were plumes offshore and up the coast for miles, so some think the corium is in layers that tunneled out to the trench, other bits went down under the plant, burning through the sandstone. Gundersen thought that some corium would pancake together under the plant for a long while, especially if coated with silica (likely there is a lot under the plants still). Reactor 4 I remember reading had the aquifer closer to it underground than the other plants. A great deal of uranium was blown sky high into the jet stream, while the corium also mixed with sea water and went out with the tide in leaking, explosion twisted buildings. Damaged and/or remaining undamaged fuel was allegedly taken out of R4 and put into Daini R4, R5, and the common spent fuel pool. I believe R5 is now in partial meltdown, likely from damaged fuel that needed to be put somewhere before the dry casks were brought in. Actually that doesn't make sense, due to dry casks can't hold 'hot fuel'! If you follow the linear story line, there are a lot of discrepancies, cams doctored with Photoshop on buildings (see Cam near R1 and look at the side of Bldg. 2, half way up for an example of doctoring videos). Japan hired the PR firm that the U.S. used to sugar coat the BP disaster, go figure.
Also, now we know, for a fact, that R4 vaporized entirely, the question is what were they doing when they were removing fuel from R4 and putting it elsewhere? It's possible they've been moving fuel (1700 rods I think?) from the common pool, for some time. The R4 clean up was simply to make the plant look nice, ditto the cementing of all the hillsides within the plant locale. Japanese are big on saving face and the U.S. is big on not losing their investment in Japan. 'Collateral damage' doesn't begin to describe what we've done for the love of nuclear energy production. Queen E is a founder in the business, with her uranium mine holdings. I can't imagine what the total global business people, who depend on Queen E's uranium mines, to survive. I'd like to know!
Nuclear is about energy and money not people, plants, animals, or health. It's really quite simple. The linear brains on the planet bit off more than they can chew and now are wallowing in their own story-foaming spittle. Don't worry, eventually the truth will get out. They won't be able to contain this damage. It will be visible in humans, ocean chemistry, marine life, the sky colors, etc., yet the MSM will continue to maintain and repeat, like robots, over and over again, that 3, not 4, nuclear reactors melted down/out and the corium is playing hide and seek with us! The muon tests showed the corium was gone in several reactors, vaporized, or took a ride out of the plant with corium splattered equipment on a big kaboom. What melted out of the containment vessesl went into sandstone tunnels and mixed with water, in leaky basements that subsided, closer to the water table, after 3/11. Much of the damage happened within the first year! Subsequent fires from the heat applied to remaining materials of the building and splattered damaged fuel in twisted spent fuel pools (not R3's fuel pool, it blew sky high), along with monstrous radioactive steam releases continue to this day. Very few workers are seen at the plant now. The only ones I've seen were on the common spent fuel pool in the last couple of months and some to help with dry casking. What they are doing is a suicide mission or they are using a lot of people in small steps, like Chernobyl did. There appears to be a filter-cloth cover around the entire upper common fuel pool building now as though it had an explosion or likely several. There also seems to be a lot of radiation steam or vapor now, around the so called 'ice wall' they put in, in front of the reactors. It could be that all the steam on the left of the plant cams is coming from R5 where fuel was being stored. Damaged fuel does not a safe fuel pool make- ;) (After all, they might want to reprocess some of the damaged fuel mess.) Someone in Japan knows exactly what the status of the reactors is now. Thermograms taken twice show some of the story. Workers reported that explosions were deleted off the cam video tapes. The game is to act like the 'corium(s) are somewhere' but not in YOUR face. It's a deadly and deceitful shell game they are playing with the media. No one can do anything about the incorporation of radioactive isotopes into the global atmosphere and oceans, let alone our soil and food despite spraying it down to the ground with metallic particles or adding chemicals and filters to water. Unless you have a geiger or dosimeter to at least rule out the 'hot stuff', you will be hearing only dribs an drabs of radiation monitoring, even on alternative news. The MSM are a total 'zip' in reporting anything about actual radiation figures, let alone any other isotopes, other than strontium or cesium.
The truth is that a lot of people don't want to know and those who do know are not telling, despite a small group that keep trying. My aunt, listened last year to my wailing about Fuku, rads, and her grandchildren. I was being a pain being too personal likely, after not seeing her for a long time. She said, 'Oh that's sounds grim'. Then she told me that she had a friend who was so negative she had to cut off their friendship. I got the message- ;) The message was you can shut up now, lol. For some, it's always a 'beautiful life' for others, like myself, I'd rather know the reality in hopes of making a difference in the future. Meanwhile the elites feel they are responsible, they are in control, and your opinion is not needed. For people, it's like comparing those who like biology and those who don't. I have another friend who hates medical or biology topics. He has a doctor in the family who loves to talk biology and surgical details that makes him crazy. He doesn't want to know more about the human body, his own, or anyone else's, LOL. Each to his own I guess, so take what you want from this post and trashcan the rest- :D I do understand though I wish there were more people aware and seeking answers for their kids, if not for themselves.
What truly grieves me and why I couldn't vote for Hillary no matter who the other characters are, is that the day after the plant's first explosions, I think on April 12, Hillary emailed, to everyone she knew, that she had inside word about serious radiation releases heading to the U.S. from Fuku, within days of the tsunami and earthquake. She told everyone to stay inside and take showers after going out due to very high incoming radiation. This is the presidential candidate who calls out other candidates for serving themselves and not caring about the safety of other people. Ya right, I'm not buying her platform platitudes or her Fuku spin. She was asked and went to Japan despite what she knew about the radiation. Also, she flys a lot. There's no doubt she's been exposed to a lot of radiation in the air. If only she would talk with Helen Caldicott, ditto any other presidential candidate. Helen says she needs only a 1/2 hour with someone to get the message across of the damage we're doing to the planet.
What a sad, pathetic dog and pony Hillary campaign - for what? For people who view themselves as above everyone else, to continue acting like nothing happened? Now they can say, well, the horse is out of the gate so why say anything now? I say the cat isn't out of the bag yet but when it does get out, these so- called presidential candidates are going to look like little 'emperors without clothes' that they are- :D Well, I got news for them. They are in the same boat with us, on the same planet, exposed to the same radiation in the air and in our food. If they don't love the planet like we do, they should get out of office!
Other isotopes found in great abundance in the Fuku fallout are Strontium 90 and surprisingly, Cobalt-60. Here's an article on the mystery of this finding of Cobalt-60.
https://allegedlyapparent.wordpress.com/2016/01/26/any-significance-to-cobalt-60-in-fukushima-fallout/
Here's what is said about Cobalt-60, in general:
'Cobalt-60 is a man-made activation product that normally occurs (with the shorter-lived isotopes 57Co and 58Co) in LIQUID effluent discharged from nuclear power and waste reprocessing plants. Its naturally-occurring stable isotope, 59Co, plays a role in leguminous plant nitrogen nutrition and is a vital trace element for animals.
As is the case for stable cobalt, current knowledge concerning the behaviour of radiocobalts in the biosphere remains general in scope, unlike the more mechanistic studies relating to the geosphere. The mobility and transferability of cobalt in the continental environment is average. Its behaviour in the soil is intimately related to metal oxy-hydroxides and, above all, to iron and manganese compounds. Its mobility increases somewhat in acid soils, while it can be significantly immobilised in organic soils. Transfer to plants is average and classically varies with soil and plant type and uptake mode. The main radioecological parameters of cobalt-60 in the soil -> plant -> food system appear to be relatively complete in operational terms.
In continental aquatic ecosystems, cobalt mobility is conditioned by the element's strong affinity for suspended matter and sediment,'

Since radioactive isotopes are held by clay soils, oh my god, I do wonder how 'hot' the soil is around my house. There were farmers in Sonoma and elsewhere in Cali that were concerned about post-Fuku radiation mitigation but the groups seemed to have disappeared for lack of anything better to do about the situation?
People believed the message of lecturers like Woods Hole's Ken Buessler who told them the ocean beach waters are fine. It's like, look ma, I stuck my bucket in the water at the shoreline and it came out OK. What about the air, what about the swimming depth of the littoral zone, what about the tidepool aimals dead and gone on the shoreline? Now there's a scientific study not to write home about! Actually he's got citizens doing those shoreline samples, while the data from deep ocean sampling is not discussed and only in terms of cesium and a couple other isotopes. He mentions watching out for strontium, downgrading the importance of the total bioaccumulation of Cesium and all other Fuku isotopes deposited absorbed into our food chain. Well he's an oceanographer, not a marine biologist. The devil is in the details. Everyone specializes now so one specialist only talks about the one toenail of the elephant in the room, no mention of what else they know and never do they make comparisons of anything other than apples and oranges with their limited data releases. Mostly the scientists love to tell those without education that they really are too stupid to figure out the complexity of all those radioactive isotopes, never mind the artificial ones we created that have unknown effects. One thing you can bet on: We got amazing doses of radioactive isotopes, many different ones, sulfur, iodine, strontium, americium, cesium, barium, etc. and unprecedented levels of noble gases that accumulate in fat tissue. Don't tell that to salmon fisherman in Alaska and Washington. They say they tested all their salmon and it's OKAY to eat. They sent samples off to a real lab that tested for all the isotopes allegedly and the salmon is edible, no problem. If the figures are so 'OK', where is the data the public can see of the entire list of isotopes found in the salmon? I can't blame people for being suspicious in the face of very little hands-on data. There's a youtuber, conectingdots2 who is absolutely sure his analysis leaves no doubt that Fuku radiation is nothing to worry about. It's those annoying people spreading lies about radiation everywhere and the harm to the environment. It's the warming see, that killed all those masses of plankton, krill, small fish, and crustaceans that the larger marine mammals eat. All that algae showed up due to warming. He doesn't let on that he knows how marine ecosystems work by attrition and novel responses to chemical changes. Warming killed the birds, the dolphins, the sea lions, and the whales too - imagine that? There's no mention of what comprises the massive hot water blobs in the NORTHERN PACIFIC. He only needs to know that the oceans are heating up from internal core and cosmic changes. What an amazing blindspot. I doubt heh asks where are those coriums! Connectingdots2 specializes in ad hominem attacks on others' research and he's very good at it. He says those negative radiation youtubers are cherry picking the data. Well, it takes one to know one.
All anyone can do is speculate because the entire Fuku ongoing event is beyond help, beyond budget costs for most people to buy equipment that gives them spectrographic information about samples prepared properly, and beyond getting over to get under a moving event of rapidly changing radioactive isotopes in the amount that 4 Fuku reactors once held. People who've been closely following the Fuku event for five years know that we have missing corium from 4 plants, not 3, and one storage unit, or, more that are of unknown status.
So, when you hear someone talking about 'I wonder where the coriums went?' get a good belly laugh rolling and walk away. You could wag a finger at them and say but didn't you get the memos about the thermograms done on all the reactors? The coriums are GONE! BeautifulgirlbyDana might suggest barfing bananas into a bucket but that's only for the very hardiest of truth seekers- :D BTW, Dana Durnford is going to make another trip up the BC coast to see if life along the tidal zones has resumed or if, sadly, life is not coming back from the ongoing waves of radiated water. There is no life on the planet that won't succumb either mortally or by mutation to successive waves of radiation. All radiation destroys tissue, fast or slow, it's what it does best and everything else, it bonds with and takes apart, particle by particle. Ionized particles are hungry for energy, always looking to bond with other materials or tissue. Radiation is an amazing property of our universe. We have become the myth of Icarus, for real. You could tell everyone to go hang up their wax wings but, no, they have to try to figure out the sun, up close and personal, in their own backyard. We took 'harnassing the sun' as a personal challenge and a bit too literally. IMO, if we got nuclear physics development from off planet beings, those beings want us dead. Imagine giving nuclear rods to chimpanzees to play with? At some point in time, there won't be anything on the planet that is not totally contaminated for centuries going forward, with damage to the human genome, unimaginable. Do you think we'll get lucky again and figure out how to repair the human genome in time, before it's destroyed or mutated beyond recognition?
Where is George Carlin when you need him? Damn! It's like we're still in an ancient, cargo cult mentality, recreating our beginnings as genetically engineered beings whose main purpose was to mine earthly metals.
