TOKYO, April 30 (Xinhua) Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings Inc. (TEPCO), the operator of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant in Japan s northeast said last week a container holding radioactive waste at the site of the plant may have leaked, Japan s Asahi Shimbun reported Friday last week.
The TEPCO said some gel-like blocks with large amount of radiation were found last month at the site where the containers were kept, and the situation is under investigation, according to the newspaper.
The containers have been stacked in three layers, and the top container has become rusted and corroded, causing liquid accumulation, said the company.
https://www.afinalwarning.com/510535.html (Natural News) Japan Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga said on April 7 that the country would have to dump radioactive wastewater from the site of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster into the Pacific Ocean. He said that disposing of the water this way was “unavoidable,”
the Japan Times reported. No final decision had been made but Suga would meet with select ministers of state as early as April 13 to finalize a plan.
For several years, the Japanese government has delayed making a decision on the disposal issue. But it will have to decide very soon since all of the tanks storing Fukushima wastewater will be full by next year.
