Tepco is going to give up the preceding water wall project and simply pour cement instead, they announced in the press conference of 9/22/2014.

Extremely highly contaminated water is “retained” in the underground trenches, which are connected to the plant buildings.

Though Tepco is denying this, there is a possibility that these trenches are also severely damaged by the continuous explosions and earthquake, keep letting the coolant water leak underground and sea directly from plant buildings.

Tepco was attempting to separate the plant buildings and trenches by frozen water wall in order to pump up the extrenely highly contaminated water retained in the trenches.

However the frozen water wall has never been completed.

Instead of the frozen water wall, Tepco announced they developed the special type of cement to fill the entire trenches.

In the simple math, if they pour cement, the same volume of contaminated water would be pushed out of the trenches. However Tepco states it would not leak out because they would pump up the contaminated water as they pour cement.

Because the trenches and the plant buildings are connected, they would end up having to pump up the same volume water as the entire capacity of the trenches. Tepco hasn’t announced if they prepare the enough contaminated water storage.
