Tepco re-announced to raise contamination levels of “rainwater” after the discharge

Related to this article..Tepco reannounced to raise all β density data by 12 times after discharge [URL]

 

It seems like Tepco confusingly announced the contamination levels of “rainwater” to be lower than actual before discharge.

Due to the Typhoon, Tepco discharged the “rainwater” retained in 7 tank areas. However, all β nuclide readings were announced to be higher than before discharge in 4 of 7 tank areas according to their announcement after the discharge. Both of the readings were based on the samples taken before the discharge, so logically they should be the same level.

The largest increase was from 2,000 Bq/m3 (announced before discharge) to 20,000 Bq/m3 (announced after discharge). The second largest increase was from 3,000 Bq/m3 (announced before discharge) to 6,000 Bq/m3 (announced before discharge).

 

(announced before discharge) → (announced after discharge)

2,000→20,000 Bq/m3
6,000→10,000 Bq/m3
3,000→6,000 Bq/m3
8,000→15,000 Bq/m3

Among the rest of 3 tank areas, the readings of 2 tank areas were not changed.

 

As to this increase, Tepco has made no announcement.

Tepco rectifie à la hausse les niveaux de radioactivité des “eaux de pluie” après les avoir déversées en mer

 

Article lié : Après les avoir déversées en mer, Tepco rectifie ses données sur la radioactivité β des “eaux de pluie” en les multipliant par 12

On dirait qu’avant de les déverser en mer Tepco a publié des niveaux de radioactivité “d’eaux de pluie” inférieurs à la réalité.

Tepco a déversé en mer les “eaux de pluie” retenues à cause du typhon dans 7 zones de citernes. Or, les relevés de la radioactivité en β ont été rectifiés à la hausse pour les eaux de 4 de ces 7 zones après qu’ils les aient déversées en mer. Les deux relevés étaient basés sur des échantillons pris avant déversement, ils auraient logiquement du avoir le même niveau de radioactivité.

La plus forte rectification est un passage de 2 000 Bq/m³ (publié avant) à 20 000 Bq/m³ (publié après le déversement). La plus forte rectification suivant est un passage de 3 000 Bq/m³ (avant) à 6 000 Bq/m³ (après le déversement).

(publié avant → publié après le déversement)
2 000→20 000 Bq/m³
6 000→10 000 Bq/m³
3 000→6 000 Bq/m³
8,000→15 000 Bq/m³
Sur les 3 autres zones de citernes, les relevés sont inchangés pour 2 d’entre elles.

Tepco ne fait aucun commentaire sur ces “rectifications”.

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.
