Highly contaminated water leaked in reactor3 again, Tepco “It was spouting out of the hose”

On 10/15/2012, highly contaminated water was found “leaking out” from accumulated water transferring pipe of reactor3 again.

At the next place, another water leakage was found on 8/14/2012. This water transferring pipe is becoming very fragile.

On the press conference, Tepco’s spokesman commented,

(尾野) 現状わかっているところでは、ホースの表面パラポンプが動いているときに滞留水が噴き出すように出ていた

As far as we know, when the pump was working, the accumulated contaminated water was spouting out from the surface of the hose.

De l’eau très fortement radioactive a encore fuit dans le réacteur 3. Tepco : “Ça jaillissait des tuyaux”

Le 15 octobre 2012, de l’eau très fortement radioactive a encore été trouvée “en train de fuir” d’un tuyau de vidange de surplus du réacteur 3.

Juste à côté, une autre fuite avait été trouvée le 14 août 2012. Cette canalisation de transfert devient de plus en plus fragile.

Lors de la conférence de presse, le porte-parole de Tepco a déclaré :

(尾野) 現状わかっているところでは、ホースの表面パラポンプが動いているときに滞留水が噴き出すように出ていた
<Traduction>
Pour ce qu’on en sait, lorsque la pompe marchait, l’eau contaminée accumulée jaillissait hors du tuyau.

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.
