Another leakage of contaminated water tank / 100 mSv/h on the surface

According to Tepco, contaminated water was found leaking from a tank at 10:40 AM of 8/19/2013.

It was in the area called H4, but it is not specified which tank is leaking. Approx. 90,000 cm3 of retained water leaked out of the local dam. Tepco states probably it didn’t reach the sea.

The radioactive concentration hasn’t been announced. The atmospheric dose was 20 mSv/h around the area. The surface dose (50cm above the water) of γ and β was 100 mSv/h, γ dose was 1.5 mSv/h at the same location.

Une autre fuite de citerne d’eau extrêmement radioactive : 100 mSv/h en surface

 

Selon Tepco, une fuite d’eaux contaminées a été découverte sur une citerne le 19 août 2013 à 10:40.

C’est dans la zone nommée H4 mais la citerne précise n’est pas spécifiée. Environ 90 000 cm³ (90 L) d’eau radioactive se sont répandus par dessus le barrage du local. Tepco affirme que ça n’a pas rejoint la mer.
Leur radioactivité exacte n’est par précisée. La dose ambiante était de 20 mSv/h autour de cet endroit. La dose en surface (50 cm au-dessus de l’eau) en γ et β était de 100 mSv/h, la dose en γ de 1,5 mSv/h au même endroit.

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.
