Tepco to attempt stopping underground water flowing into a duct of common usage pool

The contaminated water of the Central Radioactive Waste Treatment Facility (Process Main Building) and groundwater are flowing into the duct connected to the common usage pool.

They are going to fill the duct with cement material in order to prevent contaminated water leakage from the connection area with the Process Main Building and groundwater flow into the duct.

La Tepco tenterà di fermare la fuoriuscita di acqua sotterranea in un condotto della vasca di uso comune.

L’acqua contaminata della struttura di trattamento centrale delle scorie radioattive (Edificio Principale dei Processi) e l’acqua del terreno stanno fluendo nel canale connesso alla vasca di uso comune.
Cercheranno di riempire il canale con il cemento in modo da impedire fuoriuscite di acqua contaminata dall’area di connessione con l’Edificio Principale dei Processi e all’acqua del terreno di fluire nel canale.

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.
