(Before It's News)

On 11/12/2015, Tepco announced that at a control cable duct they observed groundwater stop flowing into Reactor 1 turbine building. They didn’t report if groundwater keeps flowing into the building from other underground ducts.

They state it is due to the sub-drain that came into operation from this September. The sub-drain decreased the groundwater level, they comment. (cf, Fukushima fishing cooperative allowed Tepco to discharge the contaminated groundwater to the sea [URL])

According to Tepco, 300 ~ 520 m3 of groundwater flowed into the plant buildings per day.

Tepco kept letting the groundwater flow into the building in order to stop retained contaminated water overflow from the buildings backward.

Tepco did not announce they confirmed the groundwater is not overflowing from Reactor 1 turbine building.
