by Various Sources
“TV: It’s a “record-high” leak at Fukushima, extraordinarily radioactive; Almost 8,000,000 times limit; Even more toxic since it was from early in disaster; Alarm went off 9 hours before, but disregarded; Now checking for other leaks; “News came as a shock.”
NHK, Feb. 20, 2014: Record-high tainted water leak at Fukushima plant. The leaked water contained an extraordinarily high 230-million becquerels per liter of beta-ray emitting substances, consisting mainly of strontium 90. The level is about 7.6 million times the government’s permissible standard, the highest level of radioactive substances detected so far in the series of tank leaks at the site. Officials say they managed to stop the leak 6 hours after the problem was first discovered. The Nuclear Regulation Authority has instructed TEPCO to check other tanks for possible leakages.
Kyodo, Feb. 20, 2014: More than nine hours before the leak was recognized, an alarm indicating a rise in the tank’s water surface level was issued. But workers thought the device was out of order and also could not find leaks when they patrolled the area.
NHK, Feb. 20, 2014: Tepco found the water contained 240 million becquerels per liter of beta-ray emitting substances, including strontium. An alarm went off more than 9 hours before the leak was spotted, signaling an increase in the tank’s water level. But the tank’s water-level gauge showed a sharp drop, leading workers to believe that the alarm sounded due to the malfunction of the gauge.
AP, Feb. 20, 2014: Tepco said the leak involved partially treated water from early in the disaster at the plant, meaning it was more toxic than previous leaks.
Al Jazeera, Feb. 20, 2014: Leaked water is almost 8 million times the legal limit for ocean release.
Tepco: “We think that the amount that leaked out of the barrier is 100 tons. As far as we have confirmed at this point there’s no drain nearby. We think there’s been no leak into ocean.”
NHK, Feb. 19, 2014: Highly radioactive water leaks at Fukushima plant. Tepco says water containing extremely high levels of radioactive substances has leaked from a storage tank. This was found on Wednesday night when the water leaked from a seam near the top of the tank. It traveled along a rainwater pipe and flowed outside the barrier that surrounds the tank. Officials say their investigation is still underway.
Bloomberg, Feb. 19, 2014: Tepco Says New Leak of Radioactive Water Found at Fukushima Site. About 100 metric tons (26,400 gallons) of water leaked. Beta radiation readings of 230 million becquerels per liter were taken in a water sample collected today near the H6 tank area. About 300 tons of contaminated groundwater seep into the ocean each day. “The sample was collected today near the H6 tank area.” Why not sample the water from inside the tank it leaked out of?
100 metric tons with 230,000,000 Bq/L = 23 Trillion Bq of Strontium-90 & other beta emitters, with half generally being Strontium-90 — about 11.5 trillion Bq of Sr-90
Tepco claims 10 trillion Bq of Sr-90 entered the sea from May 2011 to Aug. 2013
NHK: “What has become clear is that it’s very hard to control radioactive materials once they get into the environment.” (It took these idiots 3 years to figure this out?!- CP)
