I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.
Quote:And now, the Nuclear Regulation Authority is raising doubts about the utility’s latest plan: constructing underground walls to prevent the contaminated water from reaching the Pacific Ocean. The immediate concern is radioactive water seeping along the seaward side of the No. 1 to No. 3 reactors and spilling into the sea. TEPCO is currently solidifying soil with chemicals near a levee to prepare the ground for the walls. But as work has progressed, the water level in observation wells has risen sharply to about 1 meter from the ground’s surface, apparently due to the accumulation of groundwater blocked from the ocean. Due to limitations in construction methods, the walls can only be built with their tops at 1.8 meters beneath the surface. That means the water levels in the observation wells have already risen above the top edges. If such a situation continues, the completed barriers will be unable to prevent the water from reaching the ocean. In addition, calculations show that if the water levels continue to rise at the current pace, contaminated water will flood the surface in about three weeks.

Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.

Quote:Originally posted by 1kiki: Pretty obviously what the Japanese are doing isn't working. There is a planet full of smart people and a vast total level of resources that could be brought to bear. But they aren't. Instead we all wait downwind and downstream (and this will reach everywhere on the planet) passive, helpless, letting the global nuclear industry, pride, and the Japanese government's desire for nuclear weapons decide our all our fates.

Quote:TEPCO found high radiation readings at the contaminated water storage tanks and pipe Saturday. The four locations are the bottom of three tanks and a pipe connecting tanks in separate area. The highest reading as 1800 millisieverts per hour
