Following up this article ..2 Sv/h from leaked water

According to plant parameter data of Tepco, the water level of skimmer surge tank has been decreasing very rapidly since around 1/30/2012.

Skimmer surge tank level decreasing very rapidly at reactor 4

It has been in the decreasing trend since the beginning of this year for some reason.
It has been slowly decreasing, but it picked up on 1/20/2012.
However again, it started falling off from 1/30/2012.

Tepco asserts it’s because a part of the pool was damaged by frozen water. Whatever the reason is, there is a major damage to reactor 4.

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.
