Fukushima Diary : 4,200,000,000Bq of β and 10,000,000 Bq of γ nuclides leaked from ALPS again / New technology never get into operationPosted by Mochizuki on April 17th, 2014 Extremely high level of radiation leaked from multiple nuclide removing system ALPS (Advanced Liquid Processing System). This system has been continuously in the serious trouble since they started the hot test last Spring. However, Tepco doesn’t change their plan to try to purify 1,960 m3 / day of contaminated water from this Summer. ALPS is practically considered to be one of a few national projects on contaminated water issue. Tepco’s president Hirose promised Japanese Prime Minister Abe to complete purifying all the contaminated water by the end of March in 2015. The current contaminated water volume is approx. 450,000 m3. ALPS is required to be in the full operation in one of these months. Around 0:19 of 4/16/2014, Fukushima worker found the contaminated water and absorption material overflowed from a part of the system. The leaking volume was 1.1 m3 as Tepco claims. The total volume of leaked β nuclides was 4.2 Billion Bq, the one of γ nuclides was 10 Million Bq. The overflowed water spread over 6m × 6m × 3cm. Even the cause hasn’t been verified. www.tepco.co.jp/cc/press/2014/1235598_5851.htmlwww.tepco.co.jp/cc/press/2014/1235611_5851.htmlwww.tepco.co.jp/nu/fukushima-np/handouts/2014/images/handouts_140416_09-j.pdfIori Mochizuki fukushima-diary.com/2014/04/4200000000bq-of-%CE%B2-nuclides-and-10000000-bq-of-%CE%B3-nuclides-leaked-from-alps-again-new-technology-never-get-into-operation/
