KRISIS NUKLIR JEPANG : Resiko Radiasi Plutonium Membayangi Jepang?

The smoke seen rising above from Fukushima's Daiichi nuclear power planet is believed to be emanating from reactor Unit 3, according to the Japanese government's chief spokesperson Yukio Edano who just completed a press conference moments ago. Due to high radiation levels, all workers were evacuated from the plant, and all work suspended for a time. [Update: Reuters now confirms that workers were allowed back in after radiation levels fell, as we'd originally reported.]- bradblog.com

Media memberitakan telah terjadi perkembangan yang lebih baik pada krisis nuklir PLTN Fukushima Daiichi, sehingga kini masyarakat dapat lebih tenang atas kondisi semua reaktor. Tetapi bagi "Asymmetric Threats Contingency Alliance" yang berbasis di London menilai bahwa sulit untuk menyatakan situasi krisis kini lebih baik.

1. Apakah sesungguhnya yang terkandung pada asap dan  uap air yang masih terus dikeluarkan dari reaktor-reaktor PLTN Fukushima?
   
   
2. Apakah yang terjadi jika ternyata elemen-elemen yang sedang terlepas saat ini ternyata Plutonium--sebuah substansi yang paling mematikan bagi manusia--yang sangat sulit untuk dideteksi.

MOX FUEL IS 2 MILLION TIMES MORE DANGEROUS THEN URANIUM

KI pills do no good against MOX – it is only good for Uranium radiation. Plutonium is not affected by the pills!

ACUAN UMUM

• Reaktor 3 mengalami kerusakan yang signifikan setelah gempa dan tsunami pada 11 Maret 2011 lalu;

• Atap gedung reaktor rusak karena ledakan yang dahsyat minggu lalu yang disebabkan oleh akumulasi hidrogen
• Reaktor 3 mendapat perhatian yang paling khusus kerena reaktor tersebut dijalankan dengan bahan bakar MOX atau bahan bakar oxida campuran--sebuah campuran yang terdiri dari Plutonium dan Uranium; dan

There is no such thing as a “safe dose” of plutonium.
MOX plutonium fuel used in Fukushima’s Unit 3 reactor two million times more deadly than enriched uranium.
As the World Nuclear Association points out:
Comparisons between toxic substances are not straightforward since the effect of plutonium inhalation would be to increase the probability of a cancer in several years time, whilst most other toxins lead to immediate death. Best comparisons indicate that, gram for gram, toxins such as ricin and some snake venoms and cyanide are significantly more toxic. Consider also that all the cleaning products that we have in our kitchen are toxic if we absorb them, whilst some of the products that are spread onto crops are toxic as well.-asiancorrespondent.com

• MOX sendiri jauh lebih berbahaya daripada Uranium itu sendiri; dan
  
  

• MOX dua juta kali lebih mematikan daripada Uranium yang diperkaya.

• Asap yang baru-baru ini mengepul dari Reaktor 3 nampaknya berasal dari sisi bangunan, dimana terdapat kolam penampungan bahan bakar nuklir yang telah terpakai,
  

• Kandungan sesungguhnya pada asap dan uap air yang keluar dari reaktor 3, dan reaktor-reaktor lainnya hingga sekarang belum diketahui.
  
  

  There are several different types of nuclear reactors, including boiling water reactor systems and pressurized water reactor systems. The reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi plant are boiling water reactor systems. Here's how they work:
  
  At the heart of a nuclear reactor is the reactor vessel, a large steel tank filled with water. It's loaded with 12-foot-long fuel rods made of radioactive pellets encased in zirconium alloy. These ceramic fuel pellets are usually made of enriched uranium 235, which is incapable of creating a nuclear explosion.
  
  Reactor No. 3 at the Fukushima Daiichi plant used more toxic mixed-oxide (MOX) fuel rods, which contain a mixture of uranium and plutonium that is reprocessed from spent uranium.
  
  The fuel rods are loaded vertically into the reactor vessel in a precise grid pattern known as the reactor core. Nuclear fission, or the splitting of atoms, is initiated. As each atom splits, it gives off large amounts of energy in the form of heat and radiation. It also sends free neutrons toward other atoms, causing some of those atoms to fission. This can lead to a chain reaction.
  
  Rods that absorb neutrons control this chain reaction. When the control rods are present, neutrons are absorbed and the reaction slows. When the rods are removed, the reaction increases.

  
  

• Kala asap keluar dari reaktor 3, evakuasi pekerja dilakukan

• Tidak tercatat adanya lonjakan radiasi yang terdeteksi dari PLTN setelah asap terlihat membubung dari reaktor 3,sehingga asumsi umumnya adalah semuanya dalam kondisi yang aman.
  

• Tingkat radiasi TIDAK naik setelah asap mengepul dari reaktor 3, diduga untuk melindungi pasar finansial global.

• Haruskah dunia tenang jika hingga kini kita belum mengetahui apa saja yang terkandung didalam asap dan uap air yang keluar dari reaktor 3?

U.S. military considers mandatory evacuations in Yokosuka, Japan

• Bagaimana jika elemen-elemen yang ada di dalam asap dan uap air tidak hanya iodin radioaktif, caesium dan uranium tetapi juga kombinasi MOX termasuk Plutonium?
  

• Ini dapat menjelaskan mengapa para pekerja dengan segera dievakuasi agar terhindar dari paparan Plutonium;

• Plutonium teramat sulit untuk dideteksi sebab Plutonium memancarkan sinar-sinar gamma yang terbatas-tidak seperti iodin radioaktif, caesium dan uranium--dan jelas sangat mematikan.
  

• Terlepasnya Plutonium tidak akan ditandai dengan lonjakan radiasi;

• Plutonium 239 adalah elemen yang diketahui sangat mematikan bagi manusia

• Paruh hidup Plutonium 239 dalam MOX adalah 24.000 tahun: Beberapa miligram P-239 yang lolos dalam sebuah kepulan asap akan mengkontaminasi tanah selama puluhan ribu tahu; dan

• Kata Plutonium berasal dari nama dewa kekayaan dan kekuatan yaitu Pluto, yang juga adalah dewa kematian dan neraka.

KESIMPULAN

Jika asap yang mengepul dari reaktor nomor 3- salah satu reaktor-reakator pada PLTN Fukushima-, ternyata Kelak  betul Terbukti mengandung Plutonium, maka krisis nuklir yang dihadapi oleh Jepang dan juga dunia akan menjadi luar  biasa berbahaya dari dugaan awal. Jika demikian, kita semua patut mengetahuinya. Harus ada investigasi yang lebih  spesifik terkait apa yang dikandung dalam asap dan uap air yang terlepas.
