Fukushima Diary : Still 3,600 tonnes of contaminated rainwater retained in the faulty designed reserver / “No place to go”
Posted by Mochizuki on March 8th, 2014 · No Comments Tepco still retains 3,600 tonnes of contaminated rainwater in underground reservoirs, which experienced the major leakage last Spring. Tepco dug the ground, covered the hole with water shielding sheets, and called it the underground reservoir. In April of 2013, at least 3 of 7 reservoirs leaked the contaminated water. They decided to abandon the reservoirs. However having the continuous typhoons causing overflow of the dams to surround tanks last Autumn, Tepco started reusing the faulty designed reservoirs in order to evacuate the rainwater that was mixed with contaminated water in the dams. Tepco was supposed to send the newly added water back to the tanks, but they still cannot empty the reservoirs due to the shortage of other storage. Currently 2 of 7 reservoirs retain the rainwater. One has 1,500 tonnes, the other one has 2,100 tonnes. At this moment, they still have no safer place to stock it. www.tepco.co.jp/tepconews/library/movie-01j.htmlIori Mochizuki fukushima-diary.com/2014/03/still-3600-tonnes-of-contaminated-rainwater-retained-in-the-faulty-designed-reserver-no-place-to-go/

Oh WOW, here is an explanation I can grasp ... " Electromagnetic radiation that occurs when charged particles with energies large compared to their rest energies are decelerated over a very short distance. Since electrons are much lighter than protons, electron bremsstrahlung is the most common. In bremsstrahlung, a continuous spectrum with a characteristic profile and energy cutoff (i.e., wavelength minimum) is produced. In addition, lines can appear super imposed, corresponding to the ejection of K and L shell electrons knocked out of atoms in collisions with the high-energy electrons." scienceworld.wolfram.com/physics/Bremsstrahlung.html
