(Before It's News)

According to Tepco, significantly high level of Cs-134/137 were measured from the accumulated water in the basement floor of reactor4 turbine building.

The sample was taken on 6/13/2013. The readings were no less than 77~80% of the accumulated water from reactor3 turbine building basement. The readings are below,

Cs-134 : 12,000,000,000 Bq/m3

Cs-137 : 24,000,000,000 Bq/m3

It is assumed that the accumulated water of reactor3 contains the coolant water directly leaking from the crippled vissel.

However, there was no fuel in reactor4 supposedly, and SFP must have the circulating coolant system. Theoretically the accumulated water in reactor4 turbine building basement is only from the ground water flowing into the building.

The Cs-134/Cs-137 ratio is slightly higher than reactor3.

Reactor4 :  50%

Reactor3 : 48%

There is no explanation about these readings.

Fukushima Diary plans to research Svalbard as a temporary / permanent shelter. It will be in one month from now but there is least budget now. The planned term is 2 weeks. The estimate of the cost is 5,000 €. It would be a great help if you consider supporting it.
Thank you.
