Related to this article.. Approx. 84,000 m3 of contaminated groundwater has been discharged to the Pacific from bypass wells [URL]

From Tepco’s report released on 10/7/2015, Tritium density has been increasing at one of the bypass wells since this August (See the graph below). Tepco is still pumping up groundwater from this well to discharge to the Pacific.

It is the well called No.10. Tritium density was 1,500,000 Bq/m3 on 8/20/2015 however it reached 2,400,000 Bq/m3 on 10/1/2015. This is from 3.9 ~ 533 times higher than other wells.

Tepco is diluting it by mixing with lower density groundwater to discharge.

The cause of this increase has not been announced.

La radioactivité en Tritium de l’un des puits de dérivation continue d’augmenter depuis août dernier

D’après un rapport de Tepco publié le 7 octobre 2015, la radioactivité en tritium a augmenté à l’un des puits de dérivation depuis août dernier (Voir le graphique ci-dessous). Tepco pompe toujours les eaux souterraines de ce puits pour les déverser dans le Pacifique.

Il s’agit du puits N° 10. Sa radioactivité en tritium était de 1,5 millions de Bq/m³ au 20 août 2015 et elle a atteint 2,4 millions de Bq/m³ le 1er octobre 2015. C’est de 3,9 à 533 fois plus élevé que dans les autres puits.
Tepco la dilue en la mélangeant avec des eaux souterraines pompées de radioactivité inférieure.
La raison de cette augmentation n’est pas communiquée.
