Tepco still transferring contaminated water to the spare tank even after the leakage of 6/5/2013

On 6/5/2013, Fukushima Diary reported “Spare tank for leaking reservoirs started leaking too, Tepco didn’t weld it [URL]”

According to Tepco, they are still transferring contaminated water to the G6 tank even after the leakage.

7,700 m3 of remaining contaminated water was transferred to G6 tank for approximately 2 hours on 6/6/2013, 7 hours on 6/7/2013 via a temporary line.

There is no backup plan to replace G6 tank.

Credibility. This is what Japanese government lost.

Tepco continue de transvaser les eaux extrêmement radioactives dans la citerne de remplacement même après sa fuite du 5 juin 2013

 

Le 5 juin 2013, le Fukushima Diary rapportait “La citerne de secours pour les réservoirs percés a commencé à fuir aussi, Tepco ne l’avait pas soudée

Selon Tepco, ils continuent de transvaser les eaux extrêmement radioactives dans la citerne G6 même après sa fuite.
7 700 m³ d’eau extrêmement radioactive restantes ont été transvasées dans la citerne G6 pendant environ 2 heures le 6 juin 2013, pendant 7 heures le 7 juin 2013 via une canalisation provisoire.
Il n’y a pas de plan de secours pour remplacer la citerne G6.

La crédibilité. C’est ce que le gouvernement japonais a perdu.

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.
