(Before It's News)

Ibaraki prefectural government doesn’t test Tritium density in seawater if it’s lower than 20,000 Bq/m3.

They are going to open its 18 swimming beaches late in July though these beaches are located in the lower reaches of a sea current from Fukushima plant, which still keeps leaking highly contaminated water.

In all of 4 times tests, Ibaraki prefecture set the lowest detectable level of Tritium in seawater as 20,000 Bq/m3, which is 20 times much as Cesium-134/137 for some reason. When the reading was lower than that level, they announced only “ok” without mentioning the detailed analysis result.
