Riverside, California (CNN) -- AkikoKosaka, a student from Japan
attending the University of California at Riverside,
had lost all hope for her family in Minami Sanriku, the fishing village
where more than half of the 17,000 residents are missing
and feared dead in the aftermath of last week's tsunami. ...

WHO : No radiation risk outside evacuation zone

The World Health Organization has said
radiation levels outside the evacuation zone in Japan are not harmful for human health.
WHO spokesperson Gregory Hartl made the remarks at a regular news conference in Geneva on Friday.

The Japanese government issued an advisory on Tuesday
to evacuate from a 20-kilometer radius of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.
It also told people living within a 30-kilometer radius to stay indoors.

He said the amount of radiation being reported outside of the evacuation zone
continued to be below the levels considered a public health risk.

He said the WHO finds no public health reason to avoid travels to Japan, except to the affected areas,
or to recommend that foreign nationals leave the country.
Some countries are encouraging their citizens to leave Japan or are moving their embassies from Tokyo to Osaka.

Referring to an examination of Japanese food imports by some countries,
he said he cannot imagine that any food from the quake-damaged areas was able to have been delivered.
He said he concludes there is no risk that exported Japanese foods are contaminated with radiation.

Fukushima: Radiation Found in Milk, Spinach

(FUKUSHIMA, Japan) — Japan said radiation levels in spinach and milk from farms near its tsunami-crippled nuclear complex
exceeded government safety limits, as emergency teams scrambled Saturday to restore power to the plant
so it could cool dangerously overheated fuel. The food was taken from farms as far as 65 miles (100 kilometers)
from the stricken plants, suggesting a wide area of nuclear contamination.

While the radiation levels exceeded the limits allowed by the government, Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano insisted
the products "pose no immediate health risk." (See TIME's photos of the devastation in Japan.)

Firefighters also pumped tons of water directly from the ocean into one of the most troubled areas
of the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear complex — the cooling pool for used fuel rods at the plant's Unit 3.
The rods are at risk of burning up and sending radioactive material into the environment.

Injuries point to fuel rod damage in No. 3

The fuel rods in the Fukushima No.1 nuclear plant's
No. 3 reactor, including MOX, may be damaged, based
on the highly radioactive water that injured two workers
and exposed a third, the nuclear safety agency says.

What Is MOX?

"MOX" refers to "mixed oxide nuclear fuel."

The fuel consists of two types of oxygen-containing compounds able to undergo nuclear fission reactions
— specifically, uranium oxide blended with a small amount of plutonium oxide.

One facility where purely-uranium fuel gets reprocessed to become MOX
is the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in Japan. Reactor Unit 3 burns MOX fuel
made of 94 percent uranium and 6 percent plutonium.

MOX fuel rods in a spent fuel pool at Fukushima are causing grave concern.

The latest chapter in a catastrophic chain of events since the power plant was damaged by Friday's massive 9.0 earthquake,
workers are unable to keep the MOX rods in the spent fuel pool sufficiently cool, and if they start to burn, plutonium,
an especially dangerous radioactive substance, will be released into the environment.

Why Is Plutonium More Dangerous than Uranium?

Scientists say plutonium may be the worst of all the fission byproducts
that could enter the environment as a result of the Fukushima nuclear disaster.

That's why MOX fuel rods that are piled up in spent fuel pools near the Unit 3 reactor,
have become the number one concern of workers at the plant.

Plutonium emits alpha radiation. When alpha-emitters get inside cells, they are extremely hazardous.
Alpha rays sent out from within cells cause somewhere between 10 and 1,000 times more chromosomal damage
than beta or gamma rays.

Plutonium enters the bloodstream via the lungs, then moves throughout the body
and into the bones, liver, and other organs.

It stays in those places for decades, subjecting surrounding organs and tissues
to a continual bombardment of alpha radiation and greatly increasing the risk of cancer.

Furthermore, among all the bad things coming out of Fukushima,
plutonium will stay in the environment the longest.

One isotope of plutonium, Pu-239, has a half-life of 24,100 years.
Plutonium released to the environment today will stick around for the next half a million years.

What dangerous materials come from a damaged reactor?

Iodine 129, 131, can be inhaled and collects in the thyroid, causing cancer and other thyroid-related problems
Cesium 137, If it enters food it can be metabolized by the human body, where it causes cancer.
Plutonium 239, inhalation of aerosols causes lung cancer, liver cancer and bone sarcoma.

A dangerous scenario

Shallow spent fuel pool : zirconium oxidizes with steam

Deep pools of circulating water in the attic of each reactor building store and cool the still-hot spent fuel,
and shield the room from radiation. The water should be constantly cooled, but that requires a power source.
If water levels drop, radiation levels in the room housing the pool will rise. The water starts to boil.
The steam can react with zirconium alloy tubes that hold numerous uranium oxide fuel pellets,
producing explosive hydrogen gas. If water levels fall to within a few feet of the fuel,
radiation becomes too dangerous for anyone to directly access the pool.

Exposed spent fuel pool : possible zirconimn cladding fire

Once fuel assmblies are exposed to the air, oxidation of the zirconium alloy accelerates,
and can theoretically create a runaway reaction called a zirconium cladding fire,
which could spew volatile, radioactive fission products
- including iodine-131, cesium-137, strontium-90 and plutonium-239 - into the atomosphere.
Pouring water on a "zirc fire" would fracture super-hot exposed fuel, sending up clouds of steam laced with radioactive elements.
Engineers would probably attempt to extinguish such a fire with either sand or foarm.

Japan Gov. Criticizes Nuke Plant Operator
By AP / ERIC TALMADGE and MARI YAMAGUCHI Saturday, Mar. 26, 2011

Japan's government revealed a series of missteps by the operator of a radiation-leaking nuclear plant on Saturday,
including sending workers in without protective footwear in its faltering efforts to control a monumental crisis.
The U.S. Navy, meanwhile, rushed to deliver fresh water to replace corrosive salt water now
being used in a desperate bid to cool the plant's overheated reactors.

US, Japan forces start massive search

The US military and Japan's Self-Defense Forces have launched a massive operation
to find those still missing in the March 11th earthquake and tsunami.

The joint operation started on Friday, 3 weeks after the disaster. More than 16,000 people remain missing.
In the morning, helicopters of the Ground Self-Defense Force left their base in Sendai City to join the search mission.
Participating in the joint mission are 100 aircraft and 50 vessels from the Self-Defense Forces
and about 20 aircraft and more than 10 vessels from the US military.
The Japan Coast Guard, police and fire-fighting personnel are also joining in the rescue mission
-- the largest ever in Japan.

The search covers Pacific coastal areas in Iwate, Miyagi and Fukushima prefectures,
as well as waters up to 20 kilometers from shore. But the operation excludes
the area within a 30-kilomter radius of the quake-damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant,
which is releasing radioactive substances.

The troops participating in the search operation are focusing their efforts on areas that have not previously been well covered.
Rugged coastlines and swamp-like areas created by the tsunami have hindered search activities.
The operation is scheduled to continue for 3 days.

Because of some Middle East countries choose the pegged exchange rate with US doller, always US doller get expensive value.
Therefore, always import things can be very strong in the US markets. I don't know which is the collect one, oils, jobs, or cheap things.

QE3 can make decrease value on US doller. But money has to be for workers, not for investors. Currently QE3 will be for investors.
It means, workers will work hard for fewer cheap dollers, and workers can buy expensive things for expensive import materials by
lower doller exchange rate.
