really offsets
on Monday according to Reuters at Tokyo Electric
otherwise known as TEPCO I
said that patrolling workers around the
a.m. Fukushima nuclear same
came across a new area of high radiation
near storage tanks hastily built to house water that was used to cool
Fukushima before becoming can't contaminated
in the 2011 earthquake that wrecked the complex
they have been pumping waters TEPCO into the reactors to keep the damage course
in store
add fuel from overheating but that emergency step has created a secondary
crisis
how to manage the contaminated water that is pumped back out
workers had found no new signs
love fresh radiation leaks however
a radiation reading on the ground near the newly found hotspot
would expose a worker in just one hour
to the safety limit Japan is set for exposure over the course of five years
in other words Japan says that if you expose this amount of radiation
over five years you'll die in this in this case
it is so radioactive that you get that exposure in an
our no precise reading was given
since workers were using instruments that only recorded radiation up to a
hundred
Milus efforts other words
they do have machines on the ground that can measure how radioactive
the the ground seems to be there
wanna the
some what are the plans
to cool this I am the reactor
is a wall a frozen earth to be created around the iraqis using pipes filled
with cool whip
to prevent the ground water from coming into contact with contaminated water
being used to cool fuel rods
this some something like this with the corn is never been done on this scale
there is real concern that obviously the TEPCO has been lying
repeatedly and they are just I
the situation is beyond their capacity to deal with it form
for forward 130 thousand tons of contaminated water
or enough to fill 170 olympic-size pools are stored in the Rose have tanks the
planet which appears to be running out
open space to put them all the
so were still at the beginning
this %uh Fukushima disaster folks I am
I'm afraid that
when are are in studio
our audience today Ryan is 15
I am is the may be done so. sitting where I'm sitting now hopefully
you have a better studio I but a.m.
you'll still be talking about this when you're my age sadly
