Jiji Press, Dec. 17, 2013: Highest Ever Radiation Detected in Fukushima Plant Well [...] Some 63,000 becquerels of radioactive materials that emit beta rays, such as strontium-90, per liter have been found in groundwater [...] the highest level at the well [Tepco] said Tuesday [...] sample [was] taken on Monday from the observation well 5 meters from the coast [...] Since the company is not takings steps to prevent tainted water in the well from flowing into the sea [...] the water is likely to be reaching the plant's bay. [...] standards require strontium-90 levels to be less than 10 becquerels in water to be released into the sea. [...]
Dec. 13, 2013 Sampling: Gross β @ Below detection limit of 18 Bq/L
who are still in favor of nuclear power plants as the best and "cleanest" source of energy production, should be forced to tour Fukushima, up close and personal. Damn blind idiots.
