[Insight] Data doesn’t show Tepco dumping contaminated water to the sea, but it’s worse than that.

Last week, Tepco finally admitted the contaminated groundwater is flowing to the sea.

Looking around the media coverage, I noticed there is a huge misunderstanding about this issue. Here I want to correct it.

1. The data don’t suggest their dumping, but it’s worse than that. 

As we all know, Tepco is a liar. The government wants to conceal the fact.

but the sample to have made them confess was the groundwater pumped from the borings.

If they dumped retained contaminated water, it would have been to the sea not to the ground. but the sample is the groundwater, and the radiation level is way higher than seawater.

Whether Tepco is secretly dumping contaminated water to the sea or not, this evidence shows the contamination is traveling from the ground to the sea.

Actually their data is showing the seawater comes up to the ground when the seawater level is higher, and the groundwater comes down when the seawater level is lower. The contamination is moving between the coastal area of the plant and the sea.

This is worse than dumping. We could try to stop them dumping in legal means, but we couldn’t stop the contamination flowing to the sea because of the extremely long coastal line.

2. The contamination source is not identified.

The other reason why dumping is better is because the source of contamination is not clear.

Tepco was suspecting it might be from the past leakage. Now they are starting to suspect the highly contaminated water retained in the facility called “trench” is leaking to underground.

This is how they have 2 hypothesizes at once, but it might be directly from the crippled reactors actually.

It would be quite easy to identify the source of the contamination. They only need to “color” the coolant water. If they find the seawater colored as well, the contamination is transiting directly from the coolant water.

However, they don’t do it, which suggests something pretty clear.
