There was one leak, which didn't get far, and is now contained.
Well I suppose you are hanging that statement on the "to groundwater"
hook.
The news that I have read is that several of the storage tanks have
leaked over the years and that some of the pipework has also leaked
and they aren't sure what is getting out of the containment
vessel(s).
that's not the news that I read.
TEPCO do seem to have lost the plot, latest cock appears to be using
a meter with FSD of 100 mSv and saying that the puddle was at that
level, then going backa few days later with a meter witha higher FSD
and finding 800 odd mSv... Combine that basic plumbing failures(*)
and the Japanese cultural inabilty to admit to failure it's hardly
surprising there is some distrust of TEPCO and their abilty to manage
the situation.
that is deliberate misinterpretation of the facts.
the puddles were relatively low but as the water evaporated a very small
hotspot was left at the centre of the puddle.
100mSv/h is not a huge issue anyway. 100msV is the radiation dose given
toi cuyre cancers and is the threshold for ANY detectable increases in
cancer risks or a as my oncologist said 'a 5% extra chance of secondary
cancer in 15 years time'
(*) It's only water they are storing moving about FFS. Yes it has a
minute trace of some radioactive isotopes but it's still only water.
Hardly difficult to store or have leak proof pipework.
Usual crap fromTurNiP.

usual crap from harry.
calling something an emergency doesnt mean a damned thing. people's
toiliets that don't flush are 'emergencies'
