Fukushima radiation twice estimates Jun 7

Japan released new details Tuesday of the battle to contain the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident, after disclosing that the crippled power plant spewed more than twice as much radioactivity as originally estimated.
The release was already bad enough to make Fukushima Daiichi the worst nuclear accident in a quarter-century. The levels disclosed Monday are still a fraction of the amount released in the 1986 Chernobyl disaster, but are closer to some outside estimates.
Radiation levels at one point 20 km northwest of the plant were nearly 1,000 times normal within four days of the accident, far beyond the threshold for long-term health effects, according to a report Japan submitted to the International Atomic Energy Agency on Tuesday. The report found that projections from a radiation-monitoring system should have been released to the public earlier, even though it hard data was lacking at the time.
In April, when it declared Fukushima Daiichi a top-level event on the international scale that ranks nuclear disasters, Japan's Nuclear and Industrial Safety originally estimated that the radioactive release from the plant at a minimum of 370,000 terebequerels. A terabecquerel is equal to one trillion becquerels, a unit of radioactivity equal to one nuclear decay per second.
Japan's Emergency Response Center raised that estimate this week to 770,000 terabecquerels from March 11 to March 16, the first five days after the accident. At Chernobyl, in the former Soviet republic of Ukraine, the radioactive release amounted to 5.2 million terabecquerels.
The announcement will not change plans for how to stabilize the Fukushima Daiichi plant, the Emergency Response Center said. The plant's owner, the Tokyo Electric Power Company, hopes to wind down the nearly 3-month-old crisis sometime between October and January.
If this still going to this wave radiation will be cautic in that part of Japan because the radiation can got to othe towns tokio ect. And jaPan still workin on it because it doesn't have solution fifth now.
