[Leakage] Radiation level outside of reservoir No.1 jumped up 14 times much within 2 days

About the major leakage of highly contaminated water, Tepco has admitted reservoir No.1, 2 and 3 are leaking.

Though they are attempting to transfer the water from reservoir No.2 and 3 to the safer reservoirs and the tanks, reservoir No.1 is left leaking.

According to Tepco, the concentration of β nuclide is increasing. On 4/13/2013, it jumped up to be 14 times much as the one of 4/11.

The sample was taken from drain hole (Northeast side). The leaking water is absorbed by the ground.

[Fuites] Le niveau de radioactivité s’est multiplié par 14 à l’extérieur du réservoir N°1 en 2 jours

 

Concernant les fuites majeures d’eau extrêmement radioactives, Tepco a admit que les réservoirs N°1, 2 et 3 fuient.
Bien qu’ils soient en train de tenter de transvaser l’eau des réservoirs 2 et 3 vers des réservoirs plus sûrs et des citernes, le réservoir N°1 est laissé en train de fuir.
Selon Tepco, la concentration en β nucléides augmente. Le 13 avril 2013, c’est monté à 14 fois ce que c’était le 11 avril.
L’échantillon a été pris dans un trou de drainage (côté nord-est). L’eau qui fuit est absorbée par le sol.

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.
