Strontium-90 detected outside of Fukushima port / Highest reading in front of Reactor 4 too

(Before It's News)

Significant level of Strontium-90 has been detected outside of Fukushima plant port, according to Tepco.

Tepco released the Sr-90 analysis report on 10/1/2014 though the samples were taken this July and August.

From the report, 67 ~ 230 Bq/m3 of Sr-90 was detected from the seawater near the water outlet of Reactor 5 & 6.

Reactor 5&6 pump up 6,000 tones of seawater per hour from Fukushima port to discharge to outside of the port [URL], it would not be logical if Sr-90 is not detected from there.

Also, 470,000 Bq/m3 of Sr-90 was detected in front of Reactor 4, which is the highest reading at this location.

Tepco states contaminated groundwater is not leaking to the sea, however Sr-90 was detected from all of the 9 ~ 10 boring holes tested in the seaside of Reactor 2 to prove Tepco and Japanese government are not controlling contaminated water flowing to the sea.

The highest reading was 1,100,000,000 Bq/m3 from the boring hole called No. 1-6. Sr-90 density increased at 6 of 9 boring holes from this July to August, which suggests underground contamination is spreading for some reason.
