TEPCO wants to plug all leaks in Fukushima nuclear plant.

It is always the same story- TEPCO plans to plug all potential leaks of highly radioactive water from the Fukushima  nuclear power plant. And TEPCO wants to make this miracle in June! But despite all previous efforts, radioactive water keep leaking… TEPCO made a plan and submited it to the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency. [...]

TEPCO will pay a lot for radioactive water disposal.

TEPCO informed that  decontamination of highly radioactive water which leaked from reactors will cost at least 650 million dollars. According to TEPCO, about 84,700 tons of cooling water have leaked into basements and other areas of the 4 reactor buildings. This contaminated water makes work in reactors’ buildings very difficult if not impossible. TEPCO uses  [...]

TEPCO must stop leak at Fukushima.

Just as I expected yesterday, there is another leak of radioactive water in Fukushima nuclear plant. TEPCO says that radioactive water continues to leak from a waste disposal facility and water level had dropped by around 3 centimeters comparing with yesterday’s. TEPCO says it is possible that the water level in the facility will stop [...]

New leak at Fukushima?

TEPCO is inspecting a radioactive water disposal facility for possible leaks, because water level had dropped there. TEPCO has been transfering highly radioactive water from No. 2 and No. 3 reactors to waste disposal facilities from some time. Today, TEPCO stopped transfer of radioactive water from  reactor No.3 to check if the disposal facility could [...]

New radioactive leak in Fukushima Daichi.

Highly radioactive water was leaking to the sea from the damaged Fukushima nuclear plant today. Contaminated water levels in the No. 3 reactor’s building were already very high on Sunday. TEPCO workers sealed the leak with concrete after they found that highly radioactive water was flowing, contaminated by radioactive cesium 620,000 times higher than the [...]

Radioactive water is removing from Fukushima power plant.

Fukushima nuclear plant workers are pumping out highly radioactive water, which was spreading to seawater and soil contaminating them. There are hundreds of tons of this radioactive water inside of the nuclear plant buildings. Water must be removed to let workers continue their task of restoring plant’s cooling system. I truly wonder if they can [...]

Leakage fears in Fukushima Dai-ichi.

The water three workers were exposed to at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant was highly radioactive. It had 10,000 times the amount of typical radiation. The contamination comes most probably from reactor the No. 3 core and experts worry that is may be some leakage from some crack in unit. Fukushima workers are trying [...]
