On 7/17/2012, around one thousand of small fish such as Japanese dace were found dead for 500m of Kasumi river Aoume city Tokyo.
A citizen reported it to the city office at 17:15 of 7/17/2012.
According to their water-quality test, oxygen concentration is normal, chlorine or cyanogen were not detected.
Tokyo metropolitan government is going to check if a factory dumped waste water or agricultural chemical in the upper stream.

Last November, about 5000 of small fish such as Japanese dace were found dead at the same location too, but they could not identify the cause either.

 

 

東京都青梅市東青梅の霞川で十七日夕、ウグイなどの小魚約千匹が死んでいるのが見つかった。原因は不明。十八日に都が発表した。
十七日午後五時十五分ごろ、市民から市役所に通報があった。死んだ魚は大塚橋-山城橋の間の約五百メートルで見つかった。水質検査では水に含まれる酸素量は通常の値で、塩素やシアンなども検出されなかった。都は上流で工場廃水や農薬投棄などがなかったかを調べる。昨年十一月にも同じ場所でウグイなど約五千匹が死んでいるのが見つかったが、このときも原因は分からなかった。

About this site

This website updates the latest news about the Fukushima nuclear plant and also archives the past news from 2011. Because it's always updated and added live, articles, categories and the tags are not necessarily fitted in the latest format.
I am the writer of this website. About page remains in 2014. This is because my memory about 311 was clearer than now, 2023, and I think it can have a historical value. Now I'm living in Romania with 3 cats as an independent data scientist.
Actually, nothing has progressed in the plant since 2011. We still don't even know what is going on inside. They must keep cooling the crippled reactors by water, but additionally groundwater keeps flowing into the reactor buildings from the broken parts. This is why highly contaminated water is always produced more than it can circulate. Tepco is planning to officially discharge this water to the Pacific but Tritium is still remaining in it. They dilute this with seawater so that it is legally safe, but scientifically the same amount of radioactive tritium is contained. They say it is safe to discharge, but none of them have drunk it.
