TEPCO to review "massive" radiation data due to improper measurement
TOKYO, Feb. 7, Kyodo
Tokyo Electric Power Co. said Friday that it will review a "massive" amount of radiation data it has collected at the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant because readings may be lower than actual figures due to improper measurement.
"We are very sorry, but we found cases in which beta radiation readings turned out to be wrong when the radioactivity concentration of a sample was high," TEPCO spokesman Masayuki Ono told a press conference. Beta ray-emitting radioactive materials include strontium-90.
The announcement follows TEPCO's finding released Thursday that a groundwater sample taken from a well at the plant last July contained a record-high 5 million becquerels per liter of radioactive strontium-90.
