ROM calculation of total Uranium tonnage at Fukushima Daiichi

Click on the chart for the best view of the data.
Most of the assumptions are obvious, so they are not explicitly stated.


ROM calculation of total Uranium tonnage at Fukushima Daiichi

Fukushima Daiichi Reactor # Date First In Service Current Year Years In Service Reactor Capacity, Mega Watts % of total Japanese Nuclear Capacity, Mega Watts % of yearly total Japanese Uranium Usage Yearly Uranium tonnage spent Life Cycle Uranium tonnage
1 1971 2011 40 460 0.9% 0.9% 55.79 2231.79
2 1974 2011 37 784 1.6% 1.6% 95.09 3518.47

Japanese total generation capacity 49467 Mega Watts

Yearly Japanese National Uranium Usage 6000 Tons

ROM total quantity of Uranium Stored at Fukushima Daiichi 19624.23

  1. prussian blue binds radioactive Cesium 137
    cesium 137 will be overhead for years seeding ca
    why doesnot the cdc change the name of Prussian Blue to something that doesnot frighten people
    prussian blue is a harmless dye
    however i could not buy prussian blue in capsule
    form-they would only sell cyanide to mix with
    Ferric---MYSELF?- which is worse
