400,000,000 Bq/m3 of all β nuclide detected in the coastal area of reactor2 / Second highest record

According to Tepco, they measured 400,000,000 Bq/m3 of all β nuclides (including Strontium-90) from the groundwater in the coastal area of reactor2.

Tepco has been building the impervious wall to surround this area, where is between reactor2 turbine building and the sea, in order to stop contaminated water leaking to the sea.

Because the groundwater started overflowing, Tepco is pumping up the groundwater and send it back to the turbine building.

 

This is the second highest reading in this area. The sampling boring was near reactor2 turbine building, where may be directly leaking the retained coolant water.

La radioactivité β à 400 millions de Bq/m³ dans la zone côtière du réacteur 2 : Second record

 

Selon Tepco, ils ont relevé 400 000 000 Bq/m³ de radioactivité β (dont du strontium 90) dans les eaux souterraines de la frange côtière du réacteur 2.
Tepco avait construit un autre mur étanche souterrain pour encercler cette zone entre le bâtiment de la turbine du réacteur 2 et la mer afin de bloquer l’écoulement des eaux extrêmement radioactives vers la mer.
Tepco pompe maintenant ces eaux souterraines pour les remettre dans le bâtiment du réacteur parce que ça a commencé à déborder.

C’est le second relevé record de la zone. L’échantillon provient d’un forage proche du bâtiment de la turbine par où doivent directement s’échapper les eaux de refroidissement.

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.
