↑ The overflowed water. 20 m³ is an amount. Tepco releases only the pictures taken in night time.

 

The tanks of retained contaminated water are getting full, Tepco is planning to discharge it to the sea due to the lack of capacity. [URL]

At 19:36 of 2/16/2013, a subcontract worker found the contaminated water overflowing from the desalination system installed outside of reactor5 and 6.

The volume of overflowed water is nearly 20 m3. Tepco discribes it as “leakage” but it was actually an “overflow”.

Les réservoirs à eaux contaminées deviennent saturés, Tepco prévoie de les vider dans l’océan par manque de capacité. [Lien]

Le 16 février 2012 à 19:36, un travailleur sous-traitant a découvert de l’eau contaminée en train de déborder du système de désalinisation installé à l’extérieur des réacteurs 5 et 6.

Le volume du débordement est d’environ 20 m³. Tepco le décrit comme étant une “fuite” mais c’est un “débordement” en fait.

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.
