Date: Sept. 11, 2013

A nuclear expert says radioactive groundwater at the crippled plant in Fukushima is likely still flowing into the sea.  

Attempts by [Tepco] to stop the water appear to have had little effect. […]

Head researcher at the Japan Atomic Energy Agency, Seiji Takeda, says levels of radioactive tritium in water samples from the wells and the nearby sea suggests the groundwater is to blame.

[…] He says the water is most likely flowing fairly quickly into the sea through pebbles inside the tunnel.

The operator has been solidifying the embankment to plug the leak. But it admitted on Wednesday that the measure is not working so far.

  1. Hey, I have an idea!

    Let’s have the 2020 Olympic games in Tokyo!

    I can hear the Olympic theme song now……..

    (And……..cue the Imagination Dragon song, “Radioactive”)

    “Welcome to the new age, to the new age.
    Welcome to the new age, to the new age.
    Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I’m radioactive, radioactive
    Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I’m radioactive, radioactive”

  2. I wonder if their failed attempts were ever actually attempted.

    These Tepco Japs should commit Harrie-Karrie right now because it will be a lot easier than what the public will do to them.

    It’ll be a glorious day when the ball starts rolling, because a lot of heads will be rolling with it. I’m looking forward to seeing the public exact justice after being denied that virtue in all corners of the world.

    All acts of evil ever committed will be met with swift capitol punishment, and the human race will be cleansed by a bloodbath so horrifying that the memory of it will prevent even the slightest thought of tyranny for many generations to come.

    Entire families and bloodlines will be eliminated to prevent their poisoned seed from ever infecting the human race again. It will be ugly, and we’ll all be scarred from it, but it’s as necessary as the pain of childbirth if the human race is to continue living with any hint of freedom and autonomy.

    And the tree of liberty will be refreshed, once again.
