[Spreading leakage] Radiation level of reservoir No.3 jumped up to be 8.6 times much after transferring water

About the major leakage of highly contaminated water, the radiation level jumped up to be 8.6 times much as one day before in reservoir No.3.

The sample was taken from the leakage detector hole of Northeast side. In the morning of 4/14, 76,000 Bq/m3 of β nuclide was measured, but it became 650,000 Bq/m3 on 4/15.

On 4/14, Tepco transferred contaminated water from this No.3 to No.6. On 4/11, they had a pump leaking on transferring water from No.3 to No.6. At least 6.4 billion Bq of β nuclide leaked to the ground.

At the moment of 16:00 4/16, there is 8,415 m3 of highly contaminated water stocked in reservoir No.3.

[Fuites en cours] Le niveau de radioactivité du réservoir N°3 a été multiplié par 8,6 après le transvasement de l’eau

 

Concernant les fuites d’eaux extrêmement radioactives, en 24 heures le niveau de du réservoir N°3 a été multiplié par 8,6 après le transvasement de l’eau.

L’échantillon a été pris à partir du trou nord-est de détection des fuites. Dans la matinée du 14 avril, on a relevé 76 000 Bq/m³ de β nucléides et c’est monté à 650 000 Bq/m³ le 15 avril.
Le 14, Tepco a transvasé l’eau radioactive de ce N°3 dans le N°6. Le 11 avril, ils avaient eu une fuite à une pompe de transfert entre les N°3 et 6. Au moins 6,4 milliards de Bq de β nucléides sont passés dans le sol.

Le 16 avril à 16:00, il reste 8 415 m³ d’eaux extrêmement radioactives dans le réservoir N°3.

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.
