The Sendai airport that had suffered catastrophic damages from the East Japan great earthquake had stopped functioning completely, the part of runway that remained were mostly under water. Colonel Kasamatsumakoto of the Ground Self-Defense Force said that ｢It was this at the beginning. When I saw it, I had absolutely thought that this airport was already out｣. However, on the fifth day from the earthquake rubbles were removed from the runway. At the Sendai airport on March 16 airplane arrivals and departures were possible, and it became the relating ground for rescue supplies. It was the round-the-clock joint efforts by the Self Defense Forces, the U.S. Army, and persons related to the airport that the transportation of goods was made possible in such a short period of time. The soldiers of the U.S. Army who had undertaken reconstruction efforts said, "In order to enable the airplanes to land, the runway was cleaned with shovels and brooms" and "everyone worked hard from morning till night". The U.S. Army kept staying in the isolated airport terminal, and worked continuously. All the rubble removal work at the runway in the Sendai airport ended on March 31. The emergency control tower was set up, the control functions were restored, and it aimed at the arrival and departure of the civilian planes in the future.
The US as an alliance is helping Japan to recover from the earthquake disaster.

日本宮城縣九成魚船受海嘯破壞
Recently the Yomiuri News reported the following:
東日本巨大地震による津波で沖合や陸地に流されたり、大破したりした漁船は、宮城県だけで約１万２０００隻に上り、県に登録された船の９割に達することが３０日、分かった。 県の発表によると、県が県漁協に対して行った聞き取り調査の結果、県に登録済みの２０トン未満の船１万３４０９隻のうち、無事だったのは１４０４隻のみ。残りの１万２００５隻は、沖合や陸地まで流されたり、沈没したりしていた。被害額は１０２２億円に上るとみられる。さらに、２０トン以上の漁船１６１隻については、県が引き続き被害状況を調べている。 被害に遭った船は、石巻市が３３４１隻、気仙沼市が３３１５隻、南三陸町が２１４９隻など。いずれもほとんどがサンマ漁やイカ漁、ワカメやカキなど養殖漁業の船だ。船のほか、養殖施設や水産物の被害額も３３２億円に上るという。

On the 30th, it was understood that the number of fishing boats that were thrown into offshore or onto the land and got serious damages because of the tsunami of the East Japan huge earthquake had gone up to about 12,000 in Miyagi Prefecture alone, and reaching 90 percent of total ships registered in the prefecture. According to the announcement of the prefecture, the result of the hearing survey which the prefecture did on the prefecture's fishery cooperative organizations, for ships less than 20 tones, the number of safe ones was only 1404 among 13,409 ships registered in the prefecture. Of the remainder 12,005 some were thrown to offshore or onto the land, and some had sunk. It was expected that the damage cost would amount to 102.2 billion yen. In addition, the prefecture continued to examine the damage situation of about 161 fishing boats of 20 tons or more. With regard to ships that encountered damages, there were 3341 at Ishinomake, 3315 at Kesen'numa city, 2149 at south Sanriku-cho etc. Mostly were ships for the saury fishing and the squid fishing, and also ships for aquaculture for wakame seaweeds and oysters. Besides the ships, it was said that the damage cost of the cultivation facilities and marine products also would amount to 33.2 billion yen.
Obviously, the fishery in the region had suffered heavy damages. It is a sad news to hear.

泰國借出發電機組給日本
Recently the Asahi News reported the following: タイ政府は２９日、東日本大震災による福島第一原発などの事故で電力不足に陥っている東京電力に、ガスタービン発電機２基を付属設備を含めて施設丸ごと無料で貸し出すと発表した。１基で約４５０トン。２基で計２４万４千キロワットを供給する能力があり、船で運んで８月中の稼働を目指す。 東京電力は今夏ピーク時の電力不足を総需要の２割弱の８５０万～９００万キロワットと見積もっており、余剰設備がないかを国内外に打診。タイ政府がほぼ休眠状態だった非常時用のガスタービン発電機２基を貸し出すと申し出た。 １９９５年稼働開始の三菱重工製。貸出期間は３～５年で、吸気フィルターや排気ダクトなど付属設備も運ぶ。全体の設置面積は１基約１７００平方メートル。設置場所は検討中という。施設の分解と輸送、再組み立てなどを経て稼働は８月ごろになる。 輸送作業を担当する三菱重工によると、発電機だけを運んで日本で付属設備をそろえるより短期間で稼働できる。これだけの規模の海外移送は「世界的にも聞いたことがない」（担当者）という。 ワナラット・チャーンヌクン・エネルギー大臣は記者会見で「日本とタイは１２０年に及ぶ協力関係にあり、電力についても４０年間にわたり提携してきた」と述べた。
(試譯文) On the 29th the Thai government announced that they would lend out two gas turbo-generators free of charge including related facilities to Tokyo Electric Power Company that had fallen into a electricity shortage because of the accident such as the one at the number nuclear power plant in Fukushima due to a East Japan great earthquake. It was about 450 tons each. The two had the total ability to supply 244,000 kilowatts, and they would be carried by ship and the aim was to make them operational by August. Tokyo Electric Power Company estimated that this summer there would be a peak electricity shortage of 8.5 million to 9 million kilowatts being 20 percent or less of the total demand; and was checking whether there would be surplus capacity inside and outside the country. The two gas turbo generators offered and lent out by Thai government were for the emergency, and were almost in dormancy. They were made by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and their operation began in 1995. The related facilities such as the suction filters and the ventilation ducts would also be included in this 3-5 years lending period. The total space required for installation for one would be about 1700 square meters. It was said that the installation location was being examined. The facilities would become operational by August after going through dismantling, transportation, and re-assembly etc. According to Mitsubishi Heavy Industries that took charge of the transportation operation, the generators could operate in a short time because they were delivered to Japan with the related facilities together. Such a scale of overseas wholesome transportation was "Not heard of in the world" (said the person in charge). Cha-nnukun the Energy Minister said at a press interview that "Japan and Thailand were in cooperation lasting for 120 years, and had cooperated for 40 years on the electric power".
It seems that Japan is making preparation to cope with the high electricity demand in the coming summer.

福島電站附近土壤測驗出鈈
Recently the NHK News reported the following:
福島第一原子力発電所の事故で、発電所の敷地内の土壌からプルトニウムが検出されました。東京電力によりますと、検出されたプルトニウムはごく微量で、人体に影響のあるレベルではないということです。東京電力によりますと、２１日から２２日にかけて福島第一原子力発電所の敷地内の５か所で土壌を採取し、外部の専門機関で分析を行いました。その結果、そのうちの少なくとも２か所から今回の事故に伴って放出されたとみられるプルトニウムが検出されたということです。東京電力によりますと、検出されたプルトニウムはごく微量で、人体に影響のあるレベルではないということです。プルトニウムは、通常のウラン燃料を使った原子力発電で生成されるほか、福島第一原発の場合、３号機ではＭＯＸ燃料と呼ばれるプルトニウムを含む燃料も使用しています。プルトニウムが出す放射線は紙１枚で遮蔽することが可能ですが、肺などの臓器に取り込まれると長い間とどまり、がんなどを引き起こす可能性があるため、東京電力で調査を行っていました。東京電力は今後も引き続き、週２回、福島第一原発の敷地内の３か所で土壌のプルトニウムの調査を続けることにしています。

Plutonium was detected from the soil at the site of the power plant as a result of the accident at the number nuclear plant in Fukushima. According to the Tokyo Electric Power Company the plutonium detected was of very low level and there was little influence on the human body.
According to the Tokyo Electric Power Company, the soil was gathered from the 21st to the 22nd in five places at the site of the nuclear plant in Fukushima, and it was analyzed by an outside specialized agency. The result was that at least at two locations plutonium was detected and that was thought to have been discharged due to the present accident. The detected plutonium was at a very low level that there was little influence on the human body, according to the Tokyo Electric Power Company. Plutonium was generated when usual uranium was used to generate electricity in nuclear power plant; at the number one nuclear power plant in Fukushima, its number three machine used a fuel called mixed oxide fuel that had plutonium inside. Although the radiation given out by plutonium could be shielded off by one piece of paper, the Tokyo Electric Power Company carried out investigation because when it was taken up by the internal organs such as lungs and other organs for a long time, there was a possibility of causing cancer. In future, the Tokyo Electric Power Company would twice a week continue investigating the plutonium in the soil at three locations of the first nuclear power plant in Fukushima.
The detection of plutonium in the soil at the vicinity of the nuclear plant is a serious matter. Close monitoring of the radiation is a crucial step to ensure safety.

Two weeks had passed since the North East Great Kanto Earthquake, 197,000 people continued their relocation livelihood in various centers in Iwate, Miyagi, and Fukushima. On top of that up to 30,000 people had been evacuated out of the prefectures, and in Fukushima Prefecture where the nuclear accident happened, public office functioning of the municipality were moved outside the prefecture and massive evacuation movement continued.
NHK as of 26th brought together the shelter situation in all administrative divisions. The number of people who were seeking shelter due to this earthquake fell below 200,000 in the whole country for the first time after the earthquake and stood at 197,145 people. Those had the highest number of refugees respectively were: Miyagi Prefecture - 635 places in 30 cities and towns with 85,476 people seeking refuge. Iwate - 380 places in 21 municipalities with 43,879 people. Fukushima prefecture - 288 places in 47 municipalities with 31,264 people relocated. On the other hand, the number of those who departed from locals around Fukushima Prefecture where the nuclear accident happened to take shelter at other prefectures had increased further on the 26th, and those evacuated outside the prefecture had gone up to a total of 33,818 people in the whole country. Most people sought refuge in Kanto Koshinetsu region. The most popular was Niigata Prefecture with 8,701 people, next was Gunma Prefecture with 3,490 people, followed by Saitama with 3,391 people seeking refuge.
The impact of nuclear accident happened in Fukushima is now being felt. I hope it will not deteriorate further.

福島第一核電廠周辺海域放射汚染嚴重
Recently the Asahi News reported the following
福島第一原発事故の影響で、原発からの排水が基準の千倍を超すなど、周辺海域で放射能汚染が深刻化している。これに対し、原子力安全委員会＝班目（まだらめ）春樹委員長＝は２６日、「放射性物質は海では希釈、拡散される」として、人が魚を食べてもまず心配はない、との見方を示した。
東京電力による原発の放水口付近の調査では、２５日朝にヨウ素１３１が１立方センチあたり５０ベクレル、セシウム１３７が同７．２ベクレル検出された。原発の排水を規制する基準に照らすと、ヨウ素は１２５０倍、セシウムは７９倍にあたる。東電は、１日１回だった測定回数を２回に増やすことにした。
一方、文部科学省が２３日から原発の沖合約３０キロ地点で調べると、最大で１リットルあたりセシウムが２６ベクレル検出。飲用水の基準に比べると、７分の１以下だが、０９年度に調べた通常値の１万倍を超えていた。
海洋生物への影響について、原子力安全委員会は２６日、「排水口付近では濃度が高いが、魚介類に取り込まれるまでに潮流に流されて拡散、希釈される。さらにヨウ素は半減期が８日と短いため、人が食べるまでには相当低減していると考えられる」とした。
一方で、財団法人海洋生物環境研究所の御園生（みそのう）淳研究参与（環境放射能）によると、濃度が高いと魚類が取り込んだ放射性物質が体内で最大で海水の３０～５０倍の濃度まで蓄積されることもあるという。半減期が３０年のセシウムは心配が残るという。「２～４カ月で魚に影響が出ることもある。継続的な広域の調査が必要。消費者や漁業者の安心にもつながる」と指摘した。

Because of the number one nuclear plant accident at Fukushima, the radiation poisoning at the surrounding ocean area was aggravated as water drained from the nuclear power plant had exceeded the standard over 1000 times. In this respect, on the 26th Madarame the chairman of the Atomic Energy Safety Committee held the view that there was no worry because "The radioactive substance would be diluted in the sea, and diffused", there was no worry even if the fish was eaten by people.
In the investigation in the vicinity of the drainage outlet at the nuclear power plant done by Tokyo Electric Power Company, in the morning on the 25th, for each one cube centimeter the iodine 131 detected was at 50 Becquerel while cesium 137 was at 7.2 Becquerel. When compared to the standard on the drainage as set by the nuclear power plant, iodine was 1250 times higher while the cesium was 79 higher. Tokyo Electric Power Company decided to increase the measurement frequency from once a day to twice.
On the other hand, on the 23rd when the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology carried out examination at a point about 30-kilo offshore from the nuclear power plant, the highest cesium detected in a litre was 26 Becquerel. Compared to the drinking water standard, it was below 1/7, but it exceeded 10,000 times the usual value found in the fiscal year 2009.
As for the influence on the marine organism, on the 26th the Nuclear Safety Commission believed that ｢Although the density is high in the vicinity of the outlet, before taking up by the sea organism, it will flow into the current, it would be diffused and diluted. In addition, the 8-day half - life of the iodine is short, it is thought that it would decrease a lot before it is eaten by people｣.
On the other hand according Misonou of the Foundation for Marine Ecology Research Institute researcher Junn (environmental radioactivity), it was said that the radioactive substance that fishes took might be accumulated at a maximum inside the body up to the density of 30-50 time of the seawater when the density was high. It was said that the cesium whose half - life was 30 years remained a worry. It was pointed out that ｢The influence on fish will come out in 2-4 months. It is necessary to continue to survey a large area. It is related to the safety of consumers and fishermen｣.
Because the half-life of cesium is 30 years, it will have a long term impact on marine life. To continue to monitor the situation is of paramount importance.

一方で、財団法人海洋生物環境研究所の御園生（みそのう）淳研究参与（環境放射能）によると、濃度が高いと魚類が取り込んだ放射性物質が体内で最大で海水の３０～５０倍の濃度まで蓄積されることもあるという。半減期が３０年のセシウムは心配が残るという。「２～４カ月で魚に影響が出ることもある。継続的な広域の調査が必要。消費者や漁業者の安心にもつながる」と指摘した。

Because of the number one nuclear plant accident at Fukushima, the radiation poisoning at the surrounding ocean area was aggravated as water drained from the nuclear power plant had exceeded the standard over 1000 times. In this respect, on the 26th Madarame the chairman of the Atomic Energy Safety Committee held the view that there was no worry because "The radioactive substance would be diluted in the sea, and diffused", there was no worry even if the fish was eaten by people.
In the investigation in the vicinity of the drainage outlet at the nuclear power plant done by Tokyo Electric Power Company, in the morning on the 25th, for each one cube centimeter the iodine 131 detected was at 50 Becquerel while cesium 137 was at 7.2 Becquerel. When compared to the standard on the drainage as set by the nuclear power plant, iodine was 1250 times higher while the cesium was 79 higher. Tokyo Electric Power Company decided to increase the measurement frequency from once a day to twice.
On the other hand, on the 23rd when the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology carried out examination at a point about 30-kilo offshore from the nuclear power plant, the highest cesium detected in a litre was 26 Becquerel. Compared to the drinking water standard, it was below 1/7, but it exceeded 10,000 times the usual value found in the fiscal year 2009.
As for the influence on the marine organism, on the 26th the Nuclear Safety Commission believed that ｢Although the density is high in the vicinity of the outlet, before taking up by the sea organism, it will flow into the current, it would be diffused and diluted. In addition, the 8-day half - life of the iodine is short, it is thought that it would decrease a lot before it is eaten by people｣.
On the other hand according Misonou of the Foundation for Marine Ecology Research Institute researcher Junn (environmental radioactivity), it was said that the radioactive substance that fishes took might be accumulated at a maximum inside the body up to the density of 30-50 time of the seawater when the density was high. It was said that the cesium whose half - life was 30 years remained a worry. It was pointed out that ｢The influence on fish will come out in 2-4 months. It is necessary to continue to survey a large area. It is related to the safety of consumers and fishermen｣.
Because the half-life of cesium is 30 years, it will have a long term impact on marine life. To continue to monitor the situation is of paramount importance.
