All β nuclides level in groundwater is higher near the sea, “3,000,000 Bq/m3 from a boring water of 6m from the sea”

(Before It's News)

On 6/29/2013, Tepco reported they measured 3,000,000 Bq/m3 of all β nuclide (including Strontium-90) from the groundwater taken in a new observation hole on the day.

From another observation hole located in 19m away in the mountain side (opposite from the sea), they measured 1,400,000 Bq/m3 of all β nuclide one day before.

It means all β nuclide density goes higher as it goes closer to the sea.

The new observation hole, where they detected 3,000,000 Bq/m3 of all β nuclides is only 6 m from the sea.

The old observation hole in 19m away in the mountain side (opposite from the sea) is where they measured 500,000,000 Bq/m3 of Tritium and 1,000,000 Bq/m3 of Sr-90. It’s likely that they are to measure even higher level of Tritium and Sr-90 from the new observation hole but the readings are not published yet.

In another observation hole located in the sea side of reactor2 and 3, Tritium level also increased from 560,000 Bq/m3 to 850,000 Bq/m3 from 6/21 to 6/26/2013.

As a trend, Tritium level is increasing in groundwater and seawater. Also, the readings of groundwater are higher near the sea.
