460,000,000 Bq/m3 of Tritium detected from the pumped up groundwater in seaside of reactor2

Since 8/15/2013, Tepco is pumping up the groundwater on the seaside of reactor2.

(cf, Well point got in operation to pump up groundwater / laid on vinyl sheet and sandbag, plywood boards [URL])

According to Tepco, high level of Tritium and all β nuclides (Strontium-90 etc..) are detected from water pumped up too.

Sampling date was 8/19/2013. Tritium density of pumped up water was the highest among all the samples taken in the seaside of reactor2.

The readings are..

Tritium 460,000,000 Bq/m3

All β (Strontium-90 etc..) 190,000,000 Bq/m3

460 millions de Bq/m³ de tritium dans les eaux souterraines pompées côté mer du réacteur 2

 

Tepco pompe les eaux souterraines du côté mer du réacteur 2 depuis le 15 août 2013. (cf. Le point de forage pour pomper les eaux souterraines entre en action : déployé sur des feuilles de vinyle, des sacs de sable et du contreplaqué)

Selon Tepco, une radioactivité élevée en tritium et β-nucléides (strontium 90, etc..) est aussi relevée dans les eaux pompées.
L’échantillon est du 19 août 2013. la radioactivité en tritium des eaux pompées est le record de tous les échantillons du côté mer du réacteur 2.
Les relevés sont :
Tritium : 460 000 000 Bq/m³
β-nucléides  (Strontium-90 etc.) : 190 000 000 Bq/m³

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.
