Fresh leak at Fukushima

ABC, Australia - Tokyo Electric Power Co said the sensors, which were rigged to a gutter that pours rain and ground water at the Fukushima Daiichi plant to a nearby bay, detected contamination levels up to 70 times greater than the already-high radioactive status seen at the plant campus.

TEPCO said its emergency inspections of tanks storing nuclear waste water did not find any additional abnormalities, but the firm said it shut the gutter to prevent radioactive water from going into the Pacific Ocean.

Though contamination levels fell steadily throughout the day, the same sensors were still showing contamination levels about 10 to 20 times more than usual, a company spokesman said.

How many fetuses in this country are being damaged or killed by Fukushima? Our govt is only interested in defending our nuclear fission power industry.

We need to forget this Mars nonsense and throw trillions at nuclear fusion power development, and incidentally, develop also a fusion star drive and the robotics to control a starship. At this stage, Mars is just an opportunity to kill people with no worthwhile reward.
