Fukushima leak: "It's pretty active, pretty intense and it's out of control" update 8/23/13

All this talk about leaking tanks... perhaps TEPCO got caught with their pants down and made up another story saying it's just the tanks leaking... all the while, the water has been flowing into the pacific...  http://youtu.be/qm10VdKKWDY
I just listened to a great interview with Chris Busby.  He mentions this at approx 27 minutes into the show.  
. "New Leaks" have been discovered, 240 megatons of potentially explosive radioactive material on site, mutations of local plants and wild life, etc. 
Chemical Physicist Dr. Busby describes the impending global fall out and and answers questions from callers on air. http://www.llrc.org/index.html

Nuclear regulator tells TEPCO it needs HELP, TEPCO says it needs workers.  Regulator does not insist Tepco needs help but is a pussy and says, hey, tepco, if you need help, ask for it, eh?  (rolling eyes)  Oh, and by the way, watch those leaking tanks better... you know, the ones with the sand bags around them with the highly radioactive puddles... 10 rems to be exact (enough to kill someone standing by it in an hour).  Watch those leaking tanks better.  We realize the ground is all mushy mushy and they could tip over at any time.  We realize they should have been welded but we used bolts instead.  We realize they are corroded.  Ya, those tanks.  Watch them better, K?  Oh, ya, I almost forgot, dig up all the contaminated dirt you can around those tanks in the mushy mushy soil.  Dig it all up until you find uncontaminated dirt.  Don't hit any cables while you dig with that backhoe.  I don't know where you're going to put that dirt, but put it somewhere.  OK?  Now get to work.

Nuclear Expert: Fukushima melted fuel is drifting in ocean and onto land, lacking any containment — It ends up on coastline and blows into communities — People get an exceptional dose — Health harm will go on for thousands, if not tens of thousands of years 
hn Large, Nuclear consultant: [...] What happened is the intensely radioactive fuel is beginning to migrate into the water. And the water is seeping and migrating out of the containment.

[...] In the immediate ecosystem, of course it moves beyond that. Once it comes out of the groundwater into the marine environment, then tides and currents will take it along — and the whole scenario's rather like this: You get these very fine oxide particles of fuel, each intensely radioactive, being carried along the coastline. The tide taking it in, [...] it dries out. The onshore breeze that comes everyday blows the radioactive dust — these very fine particles — onto local communities, and those communities receive an exceptional dose.
[...] It's pretty active, pretty intense, and out of control. [...]
[Tepco] didn't think ahead, and of course they're left with an in-addressable situation. There's not much you can do when it gets out to the marine environment. [...]
It looks like we're in for a long term here. Remember 3 reactors went down, each reactor had about 120-130 tons of fuel. That's lacking any containment. It's beginning to drift into the marine and terrestrial environment. The situation is the radiation and the radiological effect in terms of health harm for that fuel will go on for hundreds, thousands, if not tens of thousands of years.

LOL transition: Funeral ceremony for Head of TEPCO guy who decided to go against tepco's wishes and flood the reactors with salt water.

Meanwhile... back at the ranch... PM Abe wants to hurry up and promote having the OLYMPICS held in Tokyo... because it's so "safe".

TV: "Fish and water have shown signs of Fukushima contamination" in U.S. Northwest — Officials to start radiation testing due to news from Japan — NOAA: Nuclear plant leaks "a surprise to everybody, we weren't aware of it" (insert random swear word).
 The announcement of a leak that big, going on for that long, came as quite a surprise to people 4,500 miles away on this side of the Pacific, even the experts.
NOAA Official: It was a surprise to everybody, we weren't aware of it.
