New contaminated water tanks to increase annual effective dose on the border of Fukushima plant area by 2.4 mSv

According to Tepco, currently the annual effective dose on the border of Fukushima plant area is 7.8 mSv but if they build the new 40 tanks as they plan, it will be increased to be 10.2 mSv.

The annual effective dose on the border is supposed to be 1 mSv. It’s already nearly 8 times higher but the new tanks will raise it 2.4 mSv additionally.

Les nouvelles citernes à eau extrêmement radioactive vont faire monter de 2,4 mSv la dose annuelle effective aux abords de la centrale de Fukushima

 

Selon Tepco et actuellement, la dose annuelle effective aux abords de la centrale de Fukushima est de 7,8 mSv mais s’ils construisent les 40 nouvelles citernes comme ils le prévoient elle passera à 10,2 mSv.

La dose annuelle effective aux limites de la centrale de Fukushima est supposée être de 1 mSv. C’est déjà pratiquement 8 fois plus haut et les nouvelles citernes vont la monter de 2,4 mSv supplémentaires.

Pas eu le temps de remettre les boutons sur les dons pour le 14 octobre. Ils devraient être de retour LUNDI PROCHAIN. Je vais essayer.

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.
