Nine months later, and the radiation just keeps pouring from the damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant. Now its Mother Earth who’s to blame.
Tokyo Electric Power Company admitted that the heavy rains from typhoons and tropical storms are flooding reactor buildings, greatly increasing the chance of massive flooding of highly contaminated water into the Pacific Ocean.
The nuclear plant is already flooding the ocean with radiation, but this would be on a massive scale.
Here’s why it’s so bad: TEPCo is already pumping 550 tons of water per day to cool three of its damaged reactors. About 80,000 tons of highly radioactive water has already accumulated in the buildings. Now add the flooding from the storms. TEPCo says it has found 200 to 500 tons of rainwater entering every day into the basements of reactor buildings.
