Fukushima radioactive groundwater protection wall 'slightly leaning' | 27 Nov 2015 | Completed only last month and designed to prevent contaminated radioactive groundwater from seeping into the sea, a 780-meter protective wall built alongside the crippled Fukushima Daiichi power station is already “slightly leaning,” plant operator TEPCO has announced. Tokyo Electric Power Company inspection discovered that pressure from the flow of groundwater has tilted the wall some 20cm towards the sea, Japan's largest broadcasting organization NHK World reported. TEPCO, however, remains optimistic and has said that the slight lean does not affect the wall's ability to block radioactive water. [I wouldn't believe anything TEPCO said if its tongue came notarized.]
