Fear in Fukushima reactor steam into the atmosphere German Economic News | 14:09:13, 02:00 | 46 comments
In the ruins of Fukushima nuclear power plant, the situation escalated. About a reactor building steam went up. In addition, the groundwater contamination threatening assumes values. The operator Tepco assured that the situation is "stable". In fact, the situation in the host country of the Olympic Games is completely out of control.

About a reactor building at Japan's Fukushima nuclear plant has leaked a cloud of steam. This follows reports of the operator Tepco company. The cause of the steam outlet is still unclear. The operator believed that the steam rising from a pool of the reactor. Also, the contamination of the groundwater takes According to current measurements rapidly. But the situation in the severely damaged nuclear power plant was still stable, assured Tepco.
Thus piling up lately, the problem with the damaged nuclear power plant in Fukushima. Recently it became known that there are several leaks in the container for radioactive contaminated cooling water ( more here ). This came several thousand tons of radioactively contaminated water into the sea.
The Japanese government has adopted an emergency plan earlier this month. Thus, should a frozen wall to hold the contaminated water from entering the basement of the nuclear power plants and groundwater. In March 2015, the underground wall to be completed. The Japanese government plans to spend 47 billion yen for it (360 million euros).
Whether the situation can be stabilized by then, remains doubtful. The position of the radioactive contamination of groundwater tapers namely daily. This is suggested by samples taken in the vicinity of the leaky tailings. Consequently, the radioactive contamination of groundwater has increased there in a few days to 15-fold. At the last measurement on Tuesday a tritium load of 64,000 becquerels per liter of water was found. Three days earlier, there were 4,200 becquerels per liter of water.
Just last week announced the International Olympic Committee (IOC) that Tokyo will host the Summer Olympic Games 2020 ( here ). Tokyo is only 230 kilometers from Fukushima away. The Japanese government sought during the application process to downplay the dangers of meltdown for the Olympic Games.
