Tropical storm Man-yi is pounding Honshu, and already contracted workers at Fukushima Daiichi have tweeted that the ground is so saturated with water, that water is flooding across the ground at a contaminated water storage tank farm near Reactor 4.  TEPCo employees said samples of the water show 170-becquerels of radiation per liter of water, including strontium!

At a separate storage tank workers found rain water flooding the area.  They report the rain water contaminated with 37 becquerels of beta radiation per liter.  They point out that the water in the storage tank contains less radiation.  So where did the rain water pick up so much contamination?

One worker tweeted that there are so many fissures under the melting down nuke plant, he’s concerned about what could happen with the increased storm driven water pressure underground.

The Japanese government has ordered the evacuation of 500-thousand households through out Honshu.
