Tepco masked all the tritium data of ground water contamination as “Under analysis”

About the major leakage of highly contaminated water, Tepco analyzes ground water to see if ground water is affected.

Tepco has made 7 borings between the reservoirs and sea and check the radiation level and chloride concentration.

On 4/17/2013, Tepco released the data, and total β nuclide was under detectable level in all the 7 borings.

However, the tritium concentration is not reported. The readings are all marked as “Under analysis”.

Tritium is also a β nuclide. Because it’s radioactive water, Tepco cannot remove it from retained water or ground water if it’s contained.

Tepco masque toutes les données du tritium de l’eau du sous-sol derrière un “Analyse en cours”

 

Sur la fuite majeure des eaux extrêmement radioactives, Tepco analyse l’eau du sol pour savoir si elle est touchée.

Tepco a fait 7 forages entre les réservoirs et la mer et contrôle leur niveau de radioactivité et leur concentration en chlorures.
Le 17 avril 2013, Tepco publie des données et le total des β nucléides était sous le niveau détectable pour les 7 forages.Toutefois, la concentration du tritium n’est pas communiquée. Tous les relevés sont libellés “Analyse en cours”.
Le tritium est aussi un β nucléide. Tepco ne peut pas le retirer de l’eau du réservoir ou du sol s’il en contient parce que c’est de l’eau.

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.
