Tepco “Tritium is travelling underground with groundwater”

(Before It's News)

Tepco found significantly high level of Tritium in groundwater and in seawater.

(cf, 4500 Mega Bq/m3 of Tritium detected on the east side of reactor2, “Sr-90 data is UNDER ANALYSIS” [URL])

(cf, Tritium level in seawater spiked over double within 2 weeks [URL 2])

About 500,000,000 Bq/m3 of Tritium detected on the east side of reactor2, Tepco analyzed the cause and mechanism of how it is spreading as below.

When leakage from the reactor 2 water intake section occurred in April 2011, a part of leaked water permeated and spread into the north-side ground through the reactor 2 power cable conduit, and remains under the ground.

While cesium has been absorbed onto the soil, tritium has been moved by groundwater.

I see no hope in the old system of Japan.
