Radiation level increasing in leakage detector hole of “nearly empty” reservoir No.1

(Before It's News)

On 6/10/2013, Fukushima Diary reported “Tepco completed transferring contaminated water but still all β nuclide detected outside of the reservoirs [URL]”

The radiation level (all β) of one of the reservoirs has been increasing since 6/9/2013, when they declared they finished transferring contaminated water.

The sample is leakage detector hole water of reservoir No.1 (North East side). This reservoir should be nearly empty since 5/6/2013.

Currently the water level is only 1.0%,retained water volume is 100m3.

On 6/9/2013, the radiation level was 360,000,000Bq/m3. It increased to be 390,000,000 Bq/m3 on 6/10/2013. It became 450,000,000 Bq/m3 on 6/11/2013.
