#FukushimaNuclearPlant clean-up faces yet another delay
Story by Mari Yamaguchi, July 29, 2025
"The full-scale removal of melted nuclear fuel from the #tsunami-wrecked #FukushimaDaiichi power plant has been delayed by several years, with the operator now targeting 2037 or later for the crucial operation.
"Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings (#TEPCO) announced the setback on Tuesday, underscoring the immense challenges still facing the site.
"TEPCO stated that 12 to 15 years of preparation are required before commencing full-scale debris removal at the No. 3 reactor, involving radiation reduction and facility construction.
"An estimated 880 tons of melted nuclear fuel and structural debris remain within the three reactors that suffered meltdowns following the 2011 earthquake and tsunami.
"This latest delay further jeopardises the Japanese government and TEPCO's existing 2051 target for decommissioning the plant.
"A test retrieval of a small fuel sample in November was already three years behind schedule, with some experts suggesting the entire #decommissioning process could extend beyond a century.
"TEPCO said it plans to stick to the current completion target of 2051.
" 'Realistically, we are aware of the difficulty (to achieve the target) but we will not drop the goal just yet, as we still don't have a clear work schedule after the full-scale removal begins,' said Akira Ono, chief decommissioning officer at TEPCO.
"Ono said TEPCO plans to examine preparation work necessary at the two other reactors within the next couple of years ahead of full-scale melted fuel retrieval.
"After small missions by robots [that were fried by radiation] to gather samples, experts will determine a larger-scale method for removing melted fuel, first at the No. 3 reactor.
"In May, Japan announced plans to use slightly radioactive soil, stored near Fukushima nuclear plant, for flower beds outside Prime Minister #ShigeruIshiba’s office. [Maybe put more waste there as well! Useless politicians! Who have access to #PrussianBlue pills which remove #Cesium137 from one's body!]
"The move is intended to demonstrate the safety of reusing soil that was removed from Fukushima prefecture during decontamination efforts following the 2011 nuclear disaster. Officials say that some of the soil has now reached levels deemed safe for reuse." [Using faulty dosimeters, I'll wager!]

Prussian Blue: Discovery and Betrayal
The discovery was the subject of many legends and stories. In the article, Klaus Roth will open the case one more time and solve it once and for all, thanks to new research into chemical history ...

Just released a new zine, called "The Future is Blue"!
It's a zine about the utopian resonance of the colour blue and cyanotyping as an aesthetic, epistemic, and temporal strategy for envisioning alternative futures.
This is a limited print run of 20ish zines, featuring individually-printed cyanotype covers.
Available for purchase through my zine shop, with worldwide shipping!

CW: long (close to 3000 chars) follow-up post going into detail on the water color papers used.
The A5 "Anna & Clara's Watercolour Paper" pad of 20 x 200 grams + 10 x 300 grams I bought for 34.90 NOK (or 3.20 EUR) from #SøstreneGrene is not great imho... I think it's probably more aimed at gouache than aquarelle...
I find it too smooth, and water mostly just pools up too much on top of it... The field of flowers was painted on the 200 grams paper, but as the (lack of) texture is the same on the 300 grams sheets, I doubt those will be much better. Though I bet the latter will at least buckle and warp less.The A5 "Anna & Clara's Watercolour Paper Acid-Free" pad with 10 x 230 grams white sheets + 10 x 230 grams black sheets onto which I painted the bottom-left #BaldursGate scene is more like the similar paper I got and used previously from Søstrene Grene (which I used for the top-left Baldur's Gate scene).
It has quite some more texture, and —most importantly— it absorbs the water and paints better. I suspect it's actually the same paper, but now the pads have half their sheets replaced with black sheets.I kinda wish they'd put the original pads back into their assortment instead, as the black sheets are more useful for metallic water colour paints, which I currently don't have. I guess I could play around with mixing the white gouache with my aquarelle paints, and use that on the black sheets?
At 23.30 NOK (or 1.98 EUR) for 20 sheets, it's cheap aquarelle paper that works quite well for my practice sessions, but with half of the sheets being basically unusable for me, it's not as affordable as the pads they previously sold...I still want to add some more foliage to the first Baldur's Gate painting (top-left), but I wanted to wait for daytime sunlight before working on it again, so instead I started a new one without looking at the example.
(And I'll probably want to scan the first one before working on it again, in case I ruin it...)The cute little ghost on A6 paper is the main character from #MrGhost aka #Yuureikun for the #MSX, which I painted two days ago. Painted with just the #PrussianBlue and the #OpaqueWhite from the #RoyalTalens' #VanGogh series. I was tempted to add the light-green background to it that one of the example screenshots had, but ended up just sticking to the monochrome version you see here.
This paper is a fine-grained cold pressed cotton rag postcard paper from #Fabriano, which I got many years ago as a kid, but never really used till recently. I always found the paper too precious, and considered my skills lacking too much to make proper use of it. It's only recently that I've felt comfortable using it.I'll take proper pictures of them by daylight tomorrow, and will maybe add some more detailed image descriptions then as well.

Got some more #aquarelle #painting done. :)
I started with some wet-on-wet experimenting on the top half, and then had to come up with what I would fill the remainder of the A5 #SøstreneGrene #waterColour paper with.
Ended up with some kind of wet-on-dry river with wet-on-wet beach scene, even though the tones don't quite match the lighting of the sky, I guess. :)It was good to experiment a bit with techniques though, and to not follow an example directly.
Materials used:
- Søstrene Grene acid-free watercolour paper, 20 x A5, 230 grammes
- #Panduro #WaterColourSetBasic (just for the #YellowOchre)
- #RoyalTalens' #VanGogh #WaterColourPaints (primarily #PrussianBlue, #PermanentYellowGreen, #Gamboge, #PermanentRedDeep, and #VermillionRed)
- A variety of brushes; mostly #GreneArt and #WinsorAndNewton
