[Leakage] Density of beta nuclide increased by 17%, radiation detected from 2 more reservoirs

Following up this article..[710 GBq of beta nuclide] 120 m3 of highly contaminated water leaked to underground, 800m to the sea [URL]

According to Tepco, the density of beta nuclide from leaking water increased by 17%.

15:00 4/5/2013
β : 5.9 ×10^9 Bq/m3 , Chloride concentration : 300 ppm

13:56 4/6/2013
β : 6.9 ×10^9 Bq/m3, Chloride concentration : 500 ppm

It suggests that the contaminated water is leaking increasingly.

Also, 6.9 × 10^4 Bq/m3 of β was measured from the drain of reservoir No.1, and 1.1 × 10^5 Bq/m3 of β was measured from the drain of reservoir No.3. It may suggest that the contaminated water is leaking from those 2 reservoirs too, or the leaked water from No. 2 reached those reservoirs.

[Fuites] La concentration en bêta nucléides a augmenté de 17 %, de la radioactivité détectée sur 2 autres réservoirs

 

Article lié : [710 GBq de nucléides bêta] 120 m³ d’eau hautement contaminée ont fuit dans le sol à 800 m de la mer

Selon Tepco, la concentration en bêta nucléides dans l’eau qui fuit a augmenté de 17 %.

5 avril 2013 15:00 :
β : 5 900 000 000 Bq/m³, concentration en chlorures : 300 ppm

6 avril 2013 13:56 :
β : 6 900 000 000 Bq/m³, concentration en chlorures : 500 ppm

Ceci suggère que l’eau contaminée fuit de plus en plus.

En outre, 690 000 Bq/m³ de β ont été relevés dans les évacuations du réservoir N°1, et 110 000 Bq/m³ de β dans celles du N°3. Ceci peut laisser penser que l’eau contaminée fuit aussi de ces deux réservoirs ou que l’eau du N°2 les a atteint.

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.
