[Column] The concrete fact – Human can’t decommission Fukushima plant by the current technology level
Posted by Mochizuki on October 5th, 2013 · 5 Comments
If the contaminated water from Fukushima was visible as oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, the whole world would have been panicking 2 years ago.
In reality, nobody cares because you can’t see it.
I’m motivated to keep updating about Fukushima by the concrete fact,
Human can’t end Fukushima accident with the current technology level.
Everybody thinks someone would invent the technology someday somehow.
but there is no guarantee.
Japanese government said it would take 40 years.
It’s been only 2.5 years.
However Tepco’s already been seriously weakened. They can’t stop contaminated water leakage for the most basic errors.
From their announcement, they have no plan to build the new tanks from this October. Fukushima worker also states there is no “atmosphere” that Tepco is rushing to make new tanks.
They will run out of the storage this November ~ December.
It’s not only about the storage.
Radiation level is jumping up near the “coastal line” of the plant. Some members of the governmental task force point out the possibility that the contaminated groundwater in the deep layer is splashing up due to the impervious wall.
Also, it looks like Tepco is hiding something, the groundwater is severely contaminated “upstream” of the tanks.
Whether it can be done by Tepco or multinational forces, they must commit into the total investigation of the plant area to know what actually happened, how it is now.
but even that hasn’t been done.
Like spent fuel pool, Fukushima plant and American nuclear plants share the same system in common.
Tepco doesn’t want to disclose what they were doing in the plant. Also, America doesn’t want to disclose something that may happen to their own nuclear plants too.
This may be stopping them the first step -Total investigation.
We don’t have the technology to purify the water, identify the location of the molten fuel pieces, remove them, with all the workers alive.
We can’t even stand on the starting point without knowing the actual plant situation.
The countries to accept nuclear power, this is the result.

Following up this article.. [New leakage] 200,000,000 Bq/m3 was leaking for 12 hours max / Patrol didn’t notice “because it was raining” [URL]
The release of Nuclear Regulation Authority on 10/3/2013 revealed Tepco has no technology for countermeasures of the contaminated water leakage.
The photos below show their “prevention” of the contaminated water spread by using the “vinyl sheet” and the “sandbag”. The leaked tank is just beside the drain and Tepco was trying to stop it flowing to the Pacific supposedly.
Next week two more Typhoons are coming close to Japan. (cf, [Contaminated water crisis] 2 more typhoons coming close to Japan [URL])
[Contaminated water crisis] 2 more typhoons coming close to Japan

Although they may not directly hit Fukushima plant area, two typhoons (Fitow and Danas) are coming to the South-West of Japan from 10/5 ~ 10/8/2013.
According to Tepco, every time it rains heavily, 1,400 tonnes of rainwater turns to be contaminated water to be transferred to the tanks, which Tepco is running out of.
On 10/2/2013, they had another tank leakage due to the Typhoon.
(cf, [New leakage] 200,000,000 Bq/m3 was leaking for 12 hours max / Patrol didn’t notice “because it was raining” [URL])
The two continuous Typhoon hitting may cause more contaminated water leakage and make it sooner when Tepco completely runs out of the water storage.

JP Gov considers to revise the decommissioning plan having the series of contaminated water problem

Severe contaminated water leakage has been occurring frequently. Nuclear Regulatory Agency reprimanded Tepco’s president Hirose on 10/4/2013.
They required Tepco to submit the countermeasures plan by next week. The chief of Nuclear Regulatory Agency stated they can take administrative measure and revise the decommissioning plan of Fukushima nuclear plant. The details of the revision was not announced.
