Thanks, @jgbarr. That's like saying can water, per se, become radioactive? Methinks if you filter out the radioactive contaminants you end up with safe water. What's your take, experts out there?
> Can radioactive water be stored in casks? I'm sure there are space constraints, but so far as I know,
> there is no process to 'clean' the water. Is anyone aware of such a process? --> comment by jgbarr -

Many thanks Reuters... being currently north of the Fukushima power plant, your blog here is my only source of relevant and reliable information... Great to see it back as I feel the current situation could very easily escalate...many thanks too all the posters also... keep up the great work....

@Jun To deepen this subject a little, what about the water barges [being able to get in safely] with all of that radiation around the plant??
@Reuters: you have just won another fan because of your unprecedented services and response to your readers. Great job, I hope you continue to innovate your industry as you have in recent weeks. -

What I tried to say a couple of days ago but much better worded: “At Fukushima, our concern is not just the immediate exposures, but exposures that occur over
the long term, from radioactive particles that are inhaled or ingested,” said Folkers. “These
particles can fall on soil and in water and end up in the food supply for many years. We are
worried that officials are measuring only the radiation that is the easiest to detect – gamma rays.
Testing people for radiation on their skin or clothing is necessary, but it tells us little or nothing
about what they could have breathed in or eaten—which results in internal exposure and long-
term risk.”

I believe after this is all over, and before the review of the incident, they should have a review of the watchdog in charge of the nuclear industry. The French and the Germans were the only 2 countries to initally realise the severity of the incident. The French were calling it a 6. I'd for one would like to know as PM KAN put it, "What the hell is going on up there"
