Nearly 6,000 Bq/kg of Cs-134/137 detected from melted slag of water purification center in Fukushima

On 4/30/2015, Fukushima prefectural government announced 5,645 Bq/Kg of Cesium-134/137 was detected from melted slag of a water purification center.

The sampling date was 3/12/2015. Because it contains 1,383 Bq/Kg of Cs-134, it is certainly from Fukushima nuclear plant.

The second highest reading of this March was 3,786 Bq/Kg. This water purification center is located in Koriyama city.

Cs-134/137 have been measured from melted slag of this purification center everyday since the beginning of this year.

Près de 6 000 Bq/kg de Cs-134/137 dans des scories fondues d’un centre de purification d’eau de Fukushima

 

Le 30 avril 2015, la préfecture de Fukushima annonce avoir relevé 5 645 Bq/kg de Césium 134/137 dans des scories fondues d’un centre de purification d’eau.
L’échantillon est du 12 mars 2015. C’est forcément issu de la centrale nucléaire de Fukushima puisqu’il y a 1 383 Bq/kg de Cs 134.

Le second record de ce mois de mars était de 3 786 Bq/kg. Ce centre de purification d’eau est situé dans la commune de Koriyama.

Les scories de ce centre de purification d’eau sont quotidiennement suivies sur le Cs-134/137 depuis le début de cette année.

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.
