.- A total of 250 tons of radioactive water leaked into the sea in early May, the company Tokyo Electric Power Co. (TEPCO), operator of the nuclear plant in Fukushima. The company acknowledged that the radioactive water that leaked from the Fukushima nuclear plant in early May was over 100 times the permitted level in the sea.
TEPCO said it discovered the leak on May 11 in a storage pit near the reactor number three had begun earlier in the day before and continued for 41 hours, so that at the time they reached the sea water 250 cubic meters contaminated. As a result, about 20 terabecquerelios escape of radioactive material, according to TEPCO.
The latest study on the release of April in the reactor number two shows that were released a total of four thousand 700 terabecquerelios of radioactive material in 500 cubic meters of water. The Tokyo Electric Power Co. yesterday announced the dismissal of its director Masataka Shimzu, and reported economic losses of more than 15 billion dollars by the nuclear disaster.
For more than two months of the earthquake and subsequent tsunami that paralyzed the Fukushima plant, engineers are still struggling to put its reactors under full control.
