[Leakage] Tritium found leaking from 3 of 5 reservoirs, “Max was 300,000,000 Bq/m3”

About the major leakage of highly contaminated water, radioactive water, Tritium was measured from 3 of 5 reservoirs.

On 5/2/2013, Fukushima Diary reported Tritium was detected from 2 of 4 seaside observation holes but the new detection proves Tritium is leaking from the reservoirs.

(cf, [Under ground contamination] Tritium detected in 2 of 4 seaside observation holes, “max was 3,800,000 Bq/m3″ [URL])

According to Tepco, Tritium was measured in the drain hole water of reservoir 1, 2, 4 and 6. Detecting Tritium from drain hole water means it’s penetrating out of the reservoirs. Officially, reservoir 4 and 6 are not supposed to be leaking the highly contaminate water.

They also measured Tritium in leakage detector hole water of reservoir 1, 2 and 3.

The highest reading was 300,000,000 Bq/m3 from the leakage detector hole water of reservoir 1.

The sampling date was 5/1/2013.

[Fuites] Du tritium fuit de 3 des réservoirs, Max 300 000 000 Bq/m³

 

Concernant les fuites graves d’eaux extrêmement radioactives, le tritium a été relevé sur 3 des 5 réservoirs.

Le 2 mai 2013, le Fukushima Diary rapportait que du tritium était détecté dans 2 de 4 trous d’observation côté mer mais que les nouvelles détections prouvaient que du tritium fuit des réservoirs. (cf. [Contamination souterraine] Du tritium dans 2 des 4 trous d’observation côté mer : record à 3 800 000 Bq/m³)
Selon Tepco, le tritium a été détecté des trous de purge des réservoirs 1, 2, 4 et 6. Détecter du tritium dans les trous de purge signifie qu’il sort des réservoirs. Officiellement, les réservoirs 4 et 6 ne sont pas supposés fuir leurs eaux extrêmement radioactives.
Ils ont aussi relevé du tritium dans le trou de détection des fuites des réservoirs 1, 2 et 3.
Le relevé record a été de 300 000 000 Bq/m³ dans le trou de détection des fuites du réservoir 1.
La mesure date du 1er mai 2013.

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.
