Fukushima’s Now Surrounded by Extremely Radioactive Puddles

A water tank car at the Fukushima atomic power industrial plant in Japan plainly sprung a leak latterly . Thelatest reportsfrom the northern prefecture say that puddles have collected all around the plant , and the implication is clear . Fukushima has a whole young radioactive water problem .

The amount of radiation detect in the puddles is not insignificant . TEPCO measured the level at 100 millisieverts per time of day , which the AFP describes as “ extremely in high spirits radiation levels . ” To put that into persecptive 100 millisieverts per year is enough togreatly increase the risk of genus Cancer . While they clean up the mess , TEPCO deny that the water is leak to the sea . The specifics , however , are particularly unnerving since a Japanese officialdrank water supply from a puddleat Fukushima to prove that it was safe . That ’s intelligibly no longer the case .

The passing radioactive puddle problem does not look to be linked to Fukushima ’s radioactive groundwater situation . Radioactive water system is leak out of the adroitness at a troubling rate , enough for Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to the situation as an “ urgent trouble . ” Officialsare considering buildinga giant bulwark of ice to contain the polluted groundwater , but as Monday ’s leak give absolved , that wo n’t do anything against novel leaks . It ’s undecipherable what will . [ AFP ]
