Fukushima's Fallout Worse Than Thought

Hmm, looking at the numbers...

From the pool of old fuel rods (NOT the reactors), we have 5kg of Cesium.

Plus a lot of Xenon. The Xenon release has a half life of ~126 hours. So, March 11 to today...

That leaves 0.000000000000074 of the original amount left. Or about 1MBq....

Oddly enough, most of this release seems to have happened as a side-effect of a complete lack of reprocessing of spent fuel rods, since they'd have been shipped off for reprocessing if that had been legal....
