Fukushima = Little Shop of horrors ?
50% of the seawater in Fukushima plant port goes to the Pacific everyday

In the press conference of 9/6/2013, Tepco’s spokesman commented approx. 50% of the seawater goes out of Fukushima plant port to the Pacific every single day.
About half of all the leaked contamination goes out of the port.
Tepco also commented they pump up the seawater near reactor5 and 6 and discharge it to the Pacific.
However, the Pacific is not contaminated enough to be harmful yet according to Tepco.

Tepco doesn’t measure Tritium in drains around 300m3 leakage tanks
Posted by Mochizuki on September 6th, 2013 · No Comments
In the press conference of 9/6/2013, Tepco’ spokesman commented they don’t / won’t measure Tritium in the water of drains around the leaked tank.
Since 300m3 highly contaminated water leakage was found, Tepco has been testing the water in the drains around the leaked tank area.
However, they only analyze the samples for Cs-134/137 and all β.
Tepco states the “all β” includes Tritium, so they don’t particularly look into Tritium.
The drains are directly connected to the Pacific outside of Fukushima nuclear plant port. All the water in the drain flows out to the sea without any filtration facilities.
[300m3 leakage] 3,300 Bq/m3 of Cs-137 detected from the outlet of drain directly connected to the Pacific
Posted by Mochizuki on September 6th, 2013 · No Comments
According to Tepco, 3,300 Bq/m3 of Cs-137 was already detected from the outlet of the drain to the Pacific.
This outlet is located outside of the plant port. Everything detected at this point goes out to the Pacific directly.
This drain comes from the leaking tank area, where experienced the 300m3 of leakage. It’s carrying the leaked highly contaminated water.
Tepco is not planning to dam this drain or install any filtration facilities.

[Concealment] Tepco decreased the accuracy of groundwater analysis around the leaked tank

Following up this article..650,000 Bq/m3 of all β detected from groundwater around leaking tank / Leaked water possibly reached groundwater [URL]
From Tepco’s report, they decreased the accuracy of the analysis for Tritium contained in the groundwater around the tank area, where experienced 300m3 of leakage.
They don’t analyze Tritium when the density is lower than 120,000 Bq/m3. This is unusually inaccurate.
They made it impossible to know if the leaked water touched the groundwater to spread over.
On the other hand, about the pumped up water from the groundwater bypass, which Tepco needs to emphasize the safety about, they detect even 50,000 Bq/m3 of Tritium.
Tepco made no explanation about why they decreased the accuracy of the analysis.
More concrete crack in the tank area with land subsidence

In the press conference of 9/3/2013, Tepco commented there is another crack in the base concrete of the tank area. It is estimated that still 12 tanks are on the concrete.
This tank area went through the land subsidence in 2011. Three tanks were on the damaged part, and suspected to be damaged to leak 300m3 of contaminated water.
In addition to the subsidence, the base concrete has another crack. Tepco states it has nothing to do with the weak foundation.

Unit 1′s Groundwater Leak & Starting The Frozen Wall Begins Soon
TEPCO released information about at least one of the groundwater leaks. This one into the unit 1 turbine building basement. TEPCO has known about this leak since at least May of 2011. There was an effort then to dump concrete into the area to slow water intrusion. This was not disclosed to the public until now. So TEPCO has known more about the water problems all along than they have let on. TEPCO now says … Read entire article »
S. Korea Bans More Japan Seafood, Japan Official Responds With A Lie
South Korea has previously complained about the ongoing problem of contaminated fish being exported from Japan. Today they took the step to ban the importation of seafood from all of the eastern prefectures of Japan. The South Koreans cited difficulty determining if fish is contaminated or not using the data provided by the Japanese government. So far the Japanese government … Read entire article »
