High-level radioactive tritium found in seawater at Fukushima plant port
2013-08-25 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Asahi Shimbun: Concentrations of radioactive tritium in seawater from the port of the stricken Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant have risen between eight and 18 times in one week, Tokyo Electric Power Co. said Aug. 23. It seems highly likely that the contaminated water is spreading into the sea beyond the port. The latest levels are the highest since June, when TEPCO, the plant operator, strengthened its monitoring after discovering that groundwater contaminated with radioactive materials around the No....

EcoWatch: The seemingly endless torrent of scandals rushing from the damaged nuclear reactors at Fukushima continues with the news that a serious incident is underway at the stricken plant. Once again we see that Fukushimas owner TEPCO is utterly unfit to deal with the ongoing disaster. And the bad news just keeps coming. We have now heard that 300 tons of highly contaminated water has escaped from storage tanks at the site--the worst leak since the disaster began in March 2011. Currently, the situation...
Latest Radioactive Leak at Fukushima: How Is It Different?

The development comes on top of TEPCO's admission last month that an estimated 300 tons of radioactive groundwater, which picks up small amounts of contamination when it flows through the damaged reactor buildings, has been leaking...

Japan: New Fukushima Radioactive Leak Worst Since Original Accident
2013-08-21 23:53:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Environment News Service: Japan`s Nuclear Regulation Authority now says a leak of radioactive water from a tank at the damaged Fukushima Daiichi plant Monday is a "serious incident" not just an "anomaly" as it was originally classified on an international scale. On Monday morning, an employee of the plant`s owner/operator Tokyo Electric Power Company on patrol found water leaking from a drain valve of a tank dike on a hillside near reactor No 4 at the power station, which has been shut down and is being decommissioned....
