[300m3 leakage] Tepco “Leaked contaminated water may have penetrated from the bottom of the tank into the ground “

On 8/22/2013, Fukushima Diary reported that a part of the leaked 300m3 water possibly flowed to the sea.

(cf, [300m3 leakage] Vice president of Tepco “Leaked water may have flowed to the sea” [URL])

In the press conference of 8/23/2013, Tepco announced there is another possibility that the leaked water penetrated to the groundwater through the base concrete and soil improvement area right underneath the tank.

The leaking tank is located upstream of the groundwater bypass wells. Tepco is planning to discharge the water pumped up from those wells without filtering, but this leakage may affect their discharging plan.

[fuite de 300 m³] Tepco : Les eaux extrêmement radioactives de la fuite ont pu passer en sous-sol par le fond de la citerne”

 

Le 22 août 2013, le Fukushima Diary publiait qu’une partie des 300 m³ d’eaux ayant fuit aient rejoint la mer. (cf. [fuite de 300 m³] Le vice président de Tepco : “Les eaux de la fuite sont sans doute parties en mer”)

Au cours de la conférence de presse du 23 août 2013, Tepco a annoncé qu’il est possible aussi que les eaux des fuites soient passées dans le sous-sol à travers l’embase de béton et les renforcements du sol situés exactement en-dessous de la citerne.
La citerne qui fuit est située en amont des forages de dérivation des eaux souterraines. Tepco prévoit de déverser ces eaux sans épuration préalable mais cette fuite peut venir perturber leur programme.

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.
