With all the salt water used, chlorides would be the most likely - TopicsExpress



          

With all the salt water used, chlorides would be the most likely compounds for Sr and Cs on the outer layers. Solubility of strontium chloride in pure water is impressive. anhydrous form: 53.8 g/100 mL (20 °C) hexahydrate form: 106 g/100 mL (0 °C) 206 g/100 mL (40 °C) Solubility of cesium chloride in pure water is even greater. anhydrous form: 185.4 g/100 ml (20 C) 207.7 g/100 ml (40 C) So these would be the upper limit to how high the radiation in a liter could go. When it hits the max, I hope they dont store the water directly in the steel tanks before removing the Sr-90. It would be truly dangerous to be anywhere near the steel tanks with the x-rays created from the betas hitting the steel walls. enenews/massive-radiation-spike-fukushima-40000-increase-month-below-ground-between-units-1-2-order-magnitude-higher-previous-records
