Fukushima Diary : Huge tanks shipped to Fukushima plant / One gets full within less than 2 days
Posted by Mochizuki on April 17th, 2014
Following up this article.. Tepco to carry new contaminated water tanks directly from the factory by transport ships
Tepco started carrying 6 contaminated water tanks from the factory in Mitsubishi heavy industries in Hyogo to Fukushima plant.
The contaminated water is increasing faster than Tepco builds the new tanks in the site. Tepco attempts to catch up with the contaminated water increasing by transferring the completed tanks directly from the manufacture.
One is 15.6m tall, the diameter is 8.1m. The capacity is 700m3, but one tank gets full only within 2 days because 400m3 of groundwater flows to the basement of the plant buildings every single day.
Currently the storage facility is 91% full. It can be overflowing this coming June. (cf, Contaminated water storage already 91% full / Could be overflowing by this coming June [URL2]) Tepco states they are going to purify all 450,000 m3 of contaminated water by the end of next March. However the multiple nuclide removing system ALPS (Advanced Liquid Processing System) hasn’t been in the operation without having the continuous troubles. (cf, 4,200,000,000Bq of β nuclides and 10,000,000 Bq of γ nuclides leaked from ALPS again / New technology never get into operation [URL3]) If the new technology of ALPS turns to fail with other freezing water wall plan, Tepco would need to continue transferring these tanks for over half a century until they decommission the plant.
