Related to this article..500,000,000 Bq/m3 of Tritium and 1,000,000 Bq/m3 of Sr-90 detected from groundwater east side of reactor2 [URL]

From this analysis, Tepco found out Cs-134/137 level in seawater is higher than groundwater.

Having this significantly high level of Tritium and Sr-90 detected from groundwater, still seawater is more contaminated when it comes to Cs-134/137.

They concluded the contamination of seawater is not from groundwater.

The reported this below,

The observation holes were drilled and groundwater was obtained/analyzed at the east side of
Unit 1-4 Turbine Buildings. Cesium density detected in groundwater is lower than those detected
in seawater, and it is declining recently. Therefore, the cause is not estimated to be affected by
the groundwater.

The cause is not verified.
