(Before It's News)

Having measured 500,000,000 Bq/m3 of Tritium from groundwater [URL], Tepco conducted the tritium analysis of seawater of Fukushima nuclear plant port.

According to their press release on 6/24/2013, Tritium level increased to be over double within 2 weeks. It is assumed that Tritium

is significantly leaking into the sea for some reason.

1)

Sample : Seawater

Sampling location : North of water intake of reactor 1 ~ 4

6/21/2013 : 1,100,000 Bq/m3

6/10/2013 : 500,000 Bq/m3

2)

Sample : Seawater

Sampling location : In front of the sea bank (cf, Fukushima plant tide embankment is still in the temporary state “EXIF of the picture is removed” [URL])

6/21/2013 : 910,000 Bq/m3

6/14/2013 : 600,000 Bq/m3

Tepco states they are going to continue to analyze seawater, but it doesn’t stop the sea contamination anyway.
