According to Tepco, they completed 16% of ground improvement on the east side of reactor 1 and 2 by the morning of 7/17/2013.

Due to this construction, the boring No.1-1 can no longer be used, which was the closest observation hole to the sea.

Tepco started the construction on 7/8/2013 with 8 ground improvement devices. They work from 19:00 to 7:00 everyday.

Selon Tepco, ils ont terminé à 16% la stabilisation du sol du côté Est des réacteurs 1 et 2 dans la matinée du 17 juillet 2013.
Le forage N° 1-1 ne peut plus être utilisé alors qu’il était le trou d’observation le plus près de la mer à cause de cette construction.
Tepco affirme avoir commencé le 8 juillet 2013 la construction de 8 dispositifs d’amélioration du sol. Ils travaillent de 19:00 à 7:00 toutes les nuits.

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.
