  Versehentlich verstrahlte Arbeiter, falsche Werte: Der Stromkonzern Tepco informiert spät und ungenau – und zerstört das Vertrauen der Menschen in Japan. Von K. Biermann

  A ship that had "abnormal" amounts of radiation after passing 67 nautical miles (124 km) off Fukushima Prefecture, site of a crippled nuclear-power station, was heading back to Japan after being rejected by authorities in China.

  The MOL Presence is due to arrive in Kobe on Wednesday from Xiamen, according to AISLive Ltd. ship-tracking data on Bloomberg. A Xiamen port official, who declined to give their name in a telephone call Sunday, confirmed that the vessel had left and declined to elaborate.

  An inspection detected "abnormal" amounts of radiation on the deck and the surface of containers on the Mitsui O.S.K. Lines Ltd. vessel after it arrived in Xiamen on March 21, according to a notice Friday on the website of the Xiamen Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau. There were normal levels in crew areas, it said.

  Kazumi Nakamura, a spokeswoman for Tokyo-based Mitsui O.S.K., said she couldn't comment as she was traveling. Calls to the city and port of Kobe's general affairs offices went unanswered.

  Concerns about radiation leaking from the Fukushima No. 1 power station have disrupted shipping from Japan, with Hamburg-based Hapag-Lloyd AG halting Tokyo calls, the Japan Coast Guard advising ships to keep at least 30 km from the plant, and overseas ports scanning cargoes.

  In the book's introduction, Our Man in Abiko writes, "This book was conceived one week after the quake. It was written, edited and completed in seven days to tell people's stories while their feelings were raw, memories fresh and futures so uncertain.

  "If Japan is to lift itself from disaster, enormous effort will have to be expended by a great many people. Tens of thousands are already working together under extreme pressure towards this goal, in the hardest hit Tohoku region, around the nuclear reactors in Fukushima, and throughout the nation and world, in an effort to restore the supply of essential goods and services.

  "Millions more have donated generously, and wish they could do more. For the many people around the world who care deeply about Japan, this book aims to take a snapshot of a nation in crisis, told by its people in their own voices."

  Negotiations were under way Monday with Amazon with the aim of releasing the book as soon as possible with all funds gathered going directly to the Japanese Red Cross Society. The following is a selection of excerpts from the book.

• Fukushima: Stand der Dinge / Tepco das neue Radio Eriwan

  Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano admitted the difficulties in balancing the two tasks -- the coolant water injection and the removal of leaked radioactive water. The radioactive water leak may be linked to operations to pour massive amounts of water to prevent reactors and spent nuclear fuel pools from overheating.

  ''We cannot help but put priority on work to stop the nuclear reactors from boiling dry,'' the top government spokesman said. Serious damage to fuel rods from overheating would lead to the emission of enormous amounts of radioactive materials into the air.

  Edano also deplored the detection of plutonium in the soil of the Fukushima plant, which was unveiled by TEPCO on Monday, saying the situation is ''very serious'' and suggests ''a certain degree of melting of fuel rods.''

  TEPCO has said the confirmed amount of plutonium in the soil does not pose a major risk to human health.

  Sakae Muto, vice president of the utility company, said it is ''not easy to examine how far it (the plutonium) has reached.'' Plutonium is more toxic than other radioactive substances such as iodine and cesium and would increase the risk of cancer if absorbed by human bodies.

  Prime Minister Naoto Kan, meanwhile, told a parliament session Tuesday that it is ''highly likely'' that the six-reactor Fukushima plant will eventually be decommissioned.

  Für sie und andere Flüchtlinge aus der Evakuierungszone gibt es in diesen Tagen schlechte Nachrichten: Vermutlich können sie nie wieder in ihre Heimat zurückkehren. Rund um das Unglücks-AKW Fukushima [spiegel.de] müssen Zehntausende Menschen dieser grausamen Wahrheit ins Gesicht sehen, vielleicht sind es sogar Hunderttausende.

  Experten gehen davon aus, dass die Region auf Dauer eine Sperrzone bleiben wird. Selbst wenn die akute Gefahr irgendwann gebannt sein sollte - der Nuklearmüll wird die Region weiter belasten.

  "Die Zeit, die es braucht, um die Folgen dieses Unglücks abzumildern, kann man nicht in Tagen oder Wochen messen - wir sprechen hier von Monaten oder gar Jahren", sagte Robert Gale vom Hämatologie-Institut des Imperial College in London nach einem Besuch in Fukushima. Es sei keine praktikable Lösung, den Menschen, die 20 bis 30 Kilometer von dem AKW entfernt lebten, einfach zu empfehlen, in den Häusern zu bleiben.

  Mehr als 200.000 Menschen lebten vor dem Unglück Regierungsangaben zufolge in der unmittelbaren Umgebung des Atomkraftwerks Fukushima: rund 70.000 Menschen im Umkreis von 20 Kilometern, weitere 130.000 in der angrenzenden Gegend bis zur 30-Kilometer-Linie.

• Fukushima- Reaktorkern auf dem Boden?

  At Fukushima, workers have been pumping water into three reactors in a desperate bid to keep the fuel rods from melting down. But Lahey, who was head of safety research for boiling-water reactors at General Electric when the company installed the units at the plant, said his analysis of radiation levels suggested these attempts had failed at reactor two.

  He said at least part of the molten core, which includes melted fuel rods and zirconium alloy cladding, seemed to have sunk through the steel "lower head" of the pressure vessel and on to the concrete floor below.

  "The indications we have, from the reactor to radiation readings and the materials they are seeing, suggest that the core has melted through the bottom of the pressure vessel in unit two, and at least some of it is down on the floor of the drywell," Lahey said. "I hope I am wrong, but that is certainly what the evidence is pointing towards."

  The major concern when molten fuel breaches a containment vessel is that it will react with the concrete floor of the drywell, releasing radioactive gases into the surrounding area. At Fukushima, the drywell has been flooded with seawater, which will cool any molten fuel that escapes from the reactor and reduce the amount of radioactive gas released.

  Lahey said: "It won't come out as one big glob; it'll come out like lava, and that is good because it's easier to cool."

  The drywell is surrounded by a secondary steel-and-concrete structure designed to keep radioactive material from escaping into the environment. But an earlier hydrogen explosion at the reactor may have damaged this.

  "The reason we are concerned is that they are detecting water outside the containment area that is highly radioactive and it can only have come from the reactor core," Lahey added. "It's not going to be anything like Chernobyl, where it went up with a big fire and steam explosion, but it's not going to be good news for the environment."

  The radiation level at a pool of water in the turbine room of reactor two was measured recently at 1,000 millisieverts per hour. At that level, workers could remain in the area for just 15 minutes, under current exposure guidelines.

  Eppler hat kürzlich in einer Talkshow gesagt, dass er Atomkraftgegener geworden sei, weil "es Menschen sind", die diese Technologie nicht beherrschen können; Menschen, so Eppler, seien nun mal anfällig für Korruption, Kriminalität und Stress bzw. nicht in der Lage, diesen zu bewältigen. Der Artikel von Petra Kolonko in der FAZ von heute über das "Führungspersonal" in Japan belegt Epplers rationale skepsis eindrucksvoll:

  Diese Frage gehört an sich auch zum Thema Zukunft der Kerkraft im anderen Thread.
