Having the contaminated water keep increasing, Tepco is running out of the storage. Tepco made 7 reservoirs, but so far, Tepco has admitted 3 of them are leaking. In order to investigate how far the leaking contaminated water is penetrating underground, Tepco is analyzing ground water of observation holes and bypass wells. According to Tepco, [...]

Posted by Mochizuki on May 15th, 2013
About the major leakage of highly contaminated water, Tepco has admitted 3 of 7 reservoirs are leaking. According to Tepco, the total β nuclide in leakage detector hole water jumped up in reservoir No.3. It means the highly contaminated water is possibly penetrating the leakage isolation sheet but not reaching outside of the reservoir yet. [...]

Posted by Mochizuki on May 7th, 2013
On 5/7/2013, Tepco announced the atmospheric dose in Fukushima nuclear plant area is significantly raised by the retained contaminated water. The highest increasing dose is estimated to be 6.4mSv/y. However, this is the reading on the border of the plant area. It would be higher inside of the plant area. This is due to [...]

About the major leakage of highly contaminated water, Tepco is going to make 7 borings beside each leaking reservoir. On 5/2/2013, Tepco announced they are going to make 6 borings with an angle and a vertical boring. It is to investigate the leakage and contamination situation underground. The potential risk to damage the leaking reservoirs [...]
