Tepco stocking contaminated water in the leaking reservoir No.1 again, Tepco “diluting”
In order to control the increasing contaminated water, Tepco tried to stock contaminated water in 7 reservoirs.
However, since they found the leakage from those reservoirs this April, Tepco have transferred it to spare tanks again.
On 6/12/2013, Fukushima Diary reported the radiation level of the leakage detector hole of the “nearly empty” reservoir is not decreasing having declared all the water was transferred.

According to Tepco, they are starting to stock contaminated water to the reservoir No.1 again since 6/19/2013 in order to “dilute” the retained water.
They state the newly stocked water is processed by desalination system, which contains “only” 10,000,000 Bq/m3 of all β nuclides.
The retained water contains 66,000,000,000 Bq/m3 of all β nuclides.
They transferred 24m3 on 6/19/2013, 16m3 on 6/20 to the leaking reservoir No.1. Tepco states they are going to transfer the newly added water to another temporary tank on 6/21/2013. They will continue to “dilute” retained water by early July.

Iori Mochizuki 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 is 5,000 €. It would be a great help if you consider supporting it. Thank you.Source: http://fukushima-diary.com/2013/06/tepco-stocking-contaminated-water-in-the-leaking-reservoir-no-1-again-tepco-diluting/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tepco-stocking-contaminated-water-in-the-leaking-reservoir-no-1-again-tepco-diluting
