Tepco “In the worse scenario, groundwater may overflow to up-ground”

Following up this article..[Column] Accumulated groundwater may overflow to up-ground in early August [URL]

In the press conference of 7/31/2013, Tepco announced there is a possibility that groundwater overflows to up-ground as the worse scenario. However, Tepco doesn’t have an evaluation.

According to Tepco, the top of the impervious wall is about 2m deep underground. Groundwater can overflow over the walls to the sea.

It means the contaminated groundwater is still flowing to the sea, but Tepco claimed it’s a certain achievement.

From Tepco’s latest report , the groundwater level is already 1m higher than the top of the impervious wall.

Additionally, groundwater coming from the mountain side keeps being accumulated. Because the groundwater level is rising, the accumulated groundwater from the mountain side may be spreading over to other areas of the plant, but Tepco commented they haven’t evaluated the volume.

Truth is not truth because everyone believes in it. It’s the truth because it’s consistent and can’t be rebutted.

Tepco : “Au pire scénario, les eaux souterraines vont totalement submerger le sol”

Au cours de la conférence du 31 juillet 2013, Tepco annonce qu’il est possible, au pire scénario, que les eaux souterraines montent jusqu’en surface. Tepco ne dispose néanmoins d’aucune évaluation.

Selon Tepco, le haut du mur étanche est à environ 2 m de profondeur. Les eaux souterraines peuvent s’écouler vers la mer par dessus.
Cela signifie que les eaux extrêmement radioactives continuent de s’écouler en mer et Tepco prétend que c’est une réussite.
Selon le dernier rapport de Tepco, le niveau des eaux souterraines est déjà à 1 m au-dessus du mur souterrain.
De plus, les eaux souterraines qui arrivent de la montagne commencent à s’accumuler. Comme le niveau des eaux souterraine augmente, les eaux accumulées côté montagne peuvent se répandre partout ailleurs dans la centrale et Tepco déclare qu’ils ne peuvent en évaluer le volume.

Ce n’est pas la vérité parce que tout le monde y croit. C’est la vérité parce que c’est cohérent et irréfutable.

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.
