Tepco excluding Strontium-90 from analyzing nuclides of groundwater and seawater samples
Extremely high level of Tritium and Strontium-90 are starting to be measured from groundwater and seawater, which are also in the increasing trend.
(cf, 500,000,000 Bq/m3 of Tritium and 1,000,000 Bq/m3 of Sr-90 detected from groundwater east side of reactor2 [URL])
However, they are excluding Sr-90 from analyzing nuclides of groundwater and seawater.
From 6/25 to 6/26/2013, they took samples from 3 groundwater observation holes and 16 locations in Fukushima plant port.
For some reason, they are not to analyze the samples for Sr-90 from all the groundwater observation holes or 8 locations in Fukushima plant port according to Tepco.
If seawater and groundwater are contaminated by Sr-90 as well, it could cause the significan effect to the environment.
The reason of not analyzing the samples for Sr-90 is not announced.
