Problems in Fukushima are never ending
by Corentin
Sunday, several tank areas at the plant have overflowed. It’s the first time it’s happened.We don’t know yet how many water overflowed, but probably radioactive water went to the sea.
Furthermore, some tank where the radioactivity was above the limit, leaked into more than the half of the plant’s 23 tank areas.
To resolve the problem, the utility is renewing today water in to decrease radiation levels, and get an acceptable rate.
In April radioactive water leaks from reservoirs were already discovered, so they stopped using them. It was in preparation for the typhoon Wipha, last week.
The biggest radioactivity is 29.000 becquerels, air in Fukushima is about 4 million times more radioactive than courant air.
The end of this story is still far. There is no real solution to this problem. We don’t control the nuclear power and its consequences.
All the Pacific Ocean is paying for this disaster. A lot of countries which are on this ocean risk to suffer from that, Japan in first.

ReplyDeleteSince the very first day the existence of nuclear weapon,we have been arguing about its benefits and its potential outcome,but nevertheless we knew its harm in the beginning and we still chose to treat it as our most protective weapon from outside attack, we have to be faced with nowadays unexpected but destined situation. There is no point criticizing Japanese government did nothing but denied the fact that Fukushima is terribly suffering from nuclear leakage and the radioactive water will flow into the Pacific and the world citizens will share the bitterness together,actually no one in the world knows how to avoid the nuclear leakage perfectly.
It is an alarm that our chose tool will hurt us the first before we use it to protect us.
