TEPCO is running out of space for the water storage tanks for ever-increasing treated water. (Remember 450 tonnes of groundwater coming in to the turbine and reactor buildings, every single day.) So the company has been spraying the treated water (still radioactive) on the compound, ostensibly to suppress dust and prevent fire.
TEPCO released the video of that first spraying on October 7. What they are spraying is the water from Reactors 5 and 6, supposedly not as contaminated as the water in other Reactors. But no one clearly knows because the company hasn't released the nuclide analysis for the water in Reactors 5 and 6, except to say it is well below the limit for release from a nuclear facility.
(I still wouldn't want to be anywhere near.)

They released this on Oct. 7th:

Still, I'm not comfortable with that action. They will do so for month, I suppose. And will probably never again release further analysis.
Desperate and out of ideas. Futility!
Very depressing.
Good god. Does anybody think those workers look adequately protected??
If it is so safe then why do workers where protective gear?
Good grief they must really think we are all idiots! I can't wait to move from Japan!
I guess they were out of options. May be soon there will be an idea to share the contaminated water all over Japan for something like fire fighting. I hope not but it is a possibility by the ways things are going.
The guy with the blue shoes seems to be wearing white pyjama pants, not a Tyvek suit. This is beyond depressing to see.
And look at all the guys standing around doing nothing! Why are they even there???
There's quite a strong wind there too ;) I expect that was one of the conditions ;-)
Wouldn't want the wind to change direction, that would have had quite a reaction i think lol.
this is weird, it would take forever using this method & they don't really require this much human intervention for this OP. it's like a perverse fire-fighter.
when it rains, where do th isotopes go? Oh...
Mindless.
Would love to see the math for how much water can be sprayed out of the hose a day that equals 450 tonnes/day. This video is just begging for satire...
quite aside from the obvious safety concerns, I don't understand how this is supposed to work. won't this just increase the amount of water in the soil, and therefore the amount leaking back into the basement?

Is this the analysis of the contaminated water they are spraying now? http://www.tepco.co.jp/nu/fukushima-np/images/handouts_111024_03-j.pdf Since they are supposed to use tons of it, shouldn't they measure it at least in Bq/l instead of Bq/cm2? 2,600 Bq/l of tritium doesn't sound like low level contamination to me...
Kindda reminds me of the movie "Idiocracy" where the crops are dead and dying because they are watering them with an electrolyte-rich sports drink
everyone substitutes for water.

This almost seems like TEPCO is thinking, "What is the stupidest thing we can do here?" Then doing it.

bro, it's a lot dumber and sadder because they are really thinking "what is the smartest thing we can do here?" idiocracy at its best
