1,000,000Bq/m3 of all β nuclides detected in seawater of reactor3 screen/Highest ever, 14 times much as 1 week ago

According to Tepco, they measured 1,000,000 Bq/m3 of all β nuclides from seawater.

This is the highest reading in seawater. The sampling date was 7/15/2013. Location was reactor3 screen (inside of the silt fence). The all β nuclides include Strontium-90.

It was 72,000 Bq/m3 in the same location on 7/8/2013. The density increased 13.7 times much within a week.

Tepco didn’t announce contaminated groundwater flowed to the sea.

Un million de Bq/m³ de β nucléides dans l’eau de l’écran du réacteur 3 : Record absolu, 14 fois plus en une semaine

 

Selon Tepco, ils ont relevé 1 000 000 Bq/m³ de β-nucléides dans l’eau de mer.

C’est le record pour l’eau de mer. L’échantillon est du 15 juillet 2013. Le lieu est la grille du réacteur 3 (à l’intérieur de  la digue de limon). Les β nucléides incluent le strontium 90.
On était à 72 000 Bq/m³ le 8 juillet au même endroit. La concentration s’est multipilée par 13,7 en une semaine.
Tepco n’a toujours pas dit que les eaux souterraines s’écoulent en mer.

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.
