In the morning of 8/5/2014, Tepco discharged 2,007 t of bypass contaminated water. From the research of Fukushima Diary, this is the largest volume of discharge.

By the end of this July, no decrease of groundwater was observed by bypass water discharge.

(cf, Bypass water discharge didn’t decrease contaminated water but only spread contamination to the Pacific [URL])

However their discharging volume keeps increasing.

According to third party organization, Tritium density in the discharged water was 340,000 Bq/m3.

682,380,000 Bq of Tritium was released to the sea by this discharge.
