南区の保育園から基準値超の鉛検出/横浜
カナロコ 4月13日(金)21時0分配信
横浜市南区浦舟町の駐車場から国の基準値を上回るヒ素と鉛が検出された問題で、市は13日、隣接する保育園からも基準値を上回る鉛が検出された、と発表した。

市こども青少年局によると、今月2日から同保育園の園庭を10区画に分けて土壌調査を開始。1区画から基準値(1キログラム当たり150ミリグラム以下)を上回る鉛390ミリグラムを検出した。

園庭は駐車場から鉛などが検出された3月23日以降、使用を中止しており、今のところ健康被害は確認されていないという。

同局は応急対策として、園庭の土の部分にシートをかぶせ、飛散防止を図るとともに、土の入れ替えやコンクリート舗装などの改善策を検討するとしている。

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.
