Tepco postponed transferring contaminated water due to the pump leakage

About the major leakage of highly contaminated water, Tepco is transferring water from 2 of the 3 crippled reservoirs to the tanks and other reservoirs.

Tepco estimates it won’t be fixed until early June. [URL]

However, they had water leak from the pump on transferring from reservoir No.3 to a tank.

(cf, [Can’t stop leaking] 6.4 billion Bq leaked from the pump on transferring to the safer reservoir [URL 2])

Having this accident, Tepco postponed transferring the water from reservoir No.2 to the safer H2 area tank.

It is not announced when they are going to restart transferring.

Tepco repousse le transvasement des eaux extrêmement radioactives à cause de la fuite à la pompe

 

Concernant les fuites majeures d’eaux extrêmement radioactives, Tepco transvase l’eau de 2 des 3 réservoirs endommagés dans des citernes et d’autres réservoirs.

Tepco estime que ce ne sera pas corrigé avant début juin. [Lien]

Pendant le transvasement du réservoir N°3 vers une citerne, ils ont eu une fuite d’eau à une pompe. (cf. [Ça n’arrête pas de fuir] 6,4 milliards de Bq ont fuit à partir de la pompe de transvasement vers un réservoir plus sûr)

Suite à cet accident, Tepco a reporté le transfert de l’eau du réservoir 2 vers la zone H2 de la citerne plus sûre. Ils ne disent pas quand ils vont reprendre le transvasement.

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.
