Tepco needs 3km long hose to evacuate contaminated “rainwater” to notch tank

Following up this article.. [Next typhoon approaching Fukushima] Tepco plans to transfer contaminated water back to reactor buildings [URL]

 

The contaminated water tanks are surrounded by the local “dams” in order to stop the leaked water. It retains rainwater in case of Typhoon, and Tepco had to discharge it due to the heavy rain when the last Typhoon hit. The discharged “rainwater” was also contaminated.

On 9/25/2013, they stated they would drain the “rainwater” to a notch tank (4,000 m3) when the next Typhoon hits Fukushima plant area.

However, from their report published on 9/30/2013, they would need the extremely long “hose” to drain the water, which is 3km.

Actually the hose hasn’t even been purchased yet. Tepco comments they are going to prepare it by October.

Tepco a besoin d’un tuyau de 3 km de long pour évacuer les “eaux de pluie” radioactives dans le réservoir creusé

Les citernes d’eau extrêmement radioactive sont cernées par des “barrages” locaux pour bloquer les écoulements de fuites. Ils bloquent aussi les eaux de pluie des typhons et Tepco a du en déverser en mer à cause des fortes pluies du dernier qui a frappé la région. Les “eaux de pluie” déversées en mer étaient également extrêmement radioactives.

Le 25 septembre 2013, ils affirmaient qu’ils allaient canaliser ces “eaux de pluie” dans un réservoir creusé (de 4 000 m³) au prochain typhon qui frappera la centrale de Fukushima.
Or, dans leur rapport publié le 30 septembre 2013, ils auront besoin d’un “tuyau” extrêmement long pour canaliser cette eau, sur 3 km. En réalité, ce tuyau n’est même pas encore acheté. Tepco déclare qu’ils sont en train de le préparer pour octobre.

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.
