[Twice a month → Once a month] Tepco to decrease the frequency of Sr-90 analysis in seawater
High level of radiation is detected in groundwater and seawater. It is suspected that contaminated groundwater is flowing to the sea.
On 7/12/2013, Tepco announced they are going to take Strontium-90 analysis in more locations of Fukushima nuclear plant port.
However, actually they are going to decrease the frequency of Sr-90 analysis in seawater from twice a month to once a month.
It’s North side of reactor1~4 water intake, and inside of the silt fence of reactor3 and 4, where they detect they highest density of radioactive material.
They are likely to measure the highest density of Sr-90 in these two locations but they make it impossible for us to know Sr-90 density trend.
Additionally, Tepco states they are going to announce Sr-90 as comparison to the safety limit and exposure dose instead.
This may make Tepco look like they are concealing Sr-90 contamination in seawater, which is more harmful than Tritium, but they only announced they decided it based on the analysis capacity.
They didn’t mention Plutonium density in seawater.
