Venus flytrap for nuclear waste: New material finds ‘needle in a haystack,’ shows promise for clean-up

February 17, 2021 by Captain Organic Planet Leave a Comment

Not every object is food to a Venus flytrap. Like the carnivorous plant, a new material developed at Northwestern University permanently traps only its desired prey, the radioactive ion cesium, and not other harmless ions like sodium. The synthetic material, made from layers of a gallium, sulfur and antimony compound, is very selective. The Northwestern […]

Particulate plutonium released from the Fukushima Daiichi meltdowns

July 26, 2020 by Captain Organic Planet Leave a Comment

Small amounts of plutonium (Pu) were released from the damaged Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP) reactors into the environment during the site’s 2011 nuclear disaster. However, the physical, chemical, and isotopic form of the released Pu has remained unknown. Now, recent work published in the journal Science of the Total Environment has shown that Pu was […]

Fukushima radioactive particle release was significant, says new research

January 5, 2020 by Captain Organic Planet Leave a Comment

Scientists say there was a significant release of radioactive particles during the Fukushima-Daiichi nuclear accident. The researchers identified the contamination using a new method and say if the particles are inhaled they could pose long-term health risks to humans. The new method allows scientists to quickly count the number of caesium-rich micro-particles in Fukushima soils […]

Broken RadNet monitors and late filter changes impaired critical Fukushima data

October 3, 2019 by Captain Organic Planet Leave a Comment

Broken RadNet monitors and late filter changes impaired critical infrastructure assets at the U.S. EPA. On March 11, 2011, at the time of the Japan nuclear incident, 25 of the 124 installed RadNet monitors, or 20 percent, were out of service for an average of 130 days. The service contractor completed repairs for all monitors […]

TEPCO Plans To Release Radioactive Fukushima Wastewater Into Pacific Ocean

September 23, 2019 by Captain Organic Planet Leave a Comment

The far-reaching dangers of nuclear power were on full display Tuesday as Japan’s environmental minister recommended releasing more than one million tons of radioactive wastewater from the Fukushima Daiichi plant into the Pacific Ocean nearly a decade after a tsunami caused a meltdown at the coastal facility. “There are no other options” other than dumping […]

Fukushima Disaster Puts Japan in ‘Nuclear Limbo’ Ahead of 2020 Tokyo Olympics

September 14, 2019 by Captain Organic Planet Leave a Comment

On 10 September, Japanese authorities announced that Tokyo Electric Power (TEPCO), the operator of the Fukushima Daiichi power plant which in 2011 experienced the worst nuclear disaster since Chernobyl, currently has no technology to clear its wastewater from radioactive waste, and is instead discharging it into the sea. More than a million tonnes of wastewater […]
