Jiji Tsushin (4/13/2013) says TEPCO has reported to the Nuclear Regulatory Authority that the in-the-ground water storage pond No.1 is indeed leaking into the surrounding soil.
TEPCO's handout for the press on April 13, 2013 shows that beta nuclides are being detected in the water taken from either the drains or the leak detection pipes or both in not only the ponds Nos 1, 2, 3 but all seven of these in-the-ground storage ponds:

The top table is for the sampled water from the drain holes, which are placed outside the bottom bentonite layer.
From the presentation material by TEPCO's President (4/10/2013), Page 7:
Confusing information about which pond had the highly contaminated waste water after the Reverse Osmosis (RO) treatment. Ponds Nos 1, 2, 3 have them for certain, and Pond No.6, I think. According to the TEPCO president presentation, Pond No.5 (capacity 2,000 tonnes) and Pond No.7 (capacity 4,000 tonnes) were empty.

Hey, no worries. This is exactly the same thing as eating a banana.
/sarcasm
Since we first heard they had no more room in the tanks..and now find out 5 and 7..(a miracle..fishes and loaves of Bread type.) are EMPTY... They have more space for contaminated water! Of course..the leaking rate..is probably equal to the inflow rate. NO PROBLEM..IT DISAPPEARS! (sarcasm)..at least 6000 Tones..? or more? from the two "empty" tanks? Wonder what kind of accounting system for waste water is used?...
Oh my dear.
Every post of LaPrimavera reveals things that nobody realized before.
Now we learn that these "tanks" are not even "ponds" in the traditional sense.
When the "tanks", "ponds" or whatever you name these structures, have been drained from the remaining water that didn't already escape into the ground, there will remain some very undesirable heritage.
In addition tho the contaminated soil, about ten thousand cubic meters of highly radioactive gravel soaked with strontium-90 etc will have to be taken care of.
thank you
It is interesting that the 'international community spends too much money, time and effort on the potential future danger of Iranian nuclear weapon, while ignoring the ongoing and devastating nuclear disaster that is taking place in Japan for more than two years. Shouldn't the international community and top scientists of the world be clamoring to come up with a solution for this monstrous problem that our world is facing from Fukushima?
Well, let's just say Japan is not in Middle East, so none of the concern for TPTB.

One of the best posts I've ever seen on the Fukushima problem.
This is either insanity or stupidity or intentional. My guess is all three. Tipkill figured they would have to look like they were taking care of the problem by bottling up the water (radioactive water used to be sold as a designer health product, true!), and make it look like they were being efficient. However, two years have passed and the brain dead sheeple forgot about Fukushima so as the currents shift time to drain the pool and let it dilute into the Pacific while no one is looking. That Mayor Bloombarfer news service practically announced that as if there was no other solution is what we call being IN YOUR FACE. Meanwhile, styrofoam cups are banned in New York.
If you study the global nuclear scene, and I recommend folks have a look at the fantastic new site
http://www.dianuke.org/
and
http://nuclear-news.net/
you can get a pretty good idea of the level of self destructive insanity.
Maybe alien beings really do control this planet otherwise why would even the richest of the rich want to spoil their own nest for their grandchildren, unless they are completely insane?
Note that Paul Zimmerman's book A Primer In The Art of Deception shows how nuclear power and nuclear weapons, in all of their various manifestations, are being employed to threaten and destroy enemies (of the banksters) and eventually make nuclear pollution "normal" everywhere.
Arnie Gundersen stated at the recent Caldicott conference that Tipkill could technically stop fresh ground water from entering the contamination zone of the reactor area but that would cost money to build a wall, and they would have to suck the water out before it got there. So it sounds technically feasible. However, why in the hell should they spend any money when they can just let it leak into the Pacific ocean and no one will say anything to stop them? Profits over people and the planet, that was Margaret Thatcher and that sell out Ronald Reagan's legacy. May they both burn in Hell where they belong.

Very good point! I suspect, the majority of people are just too well trained to think of civilian use of nuclear power as safe while military use (how dare anyone threaten us?) as deadly. And after all, apart from the initial explosions, the disaster at Fukushima happens quietly - no mushroom cloud, nothing to see of entertainment or shock value and therefor nothing to worry about.
*mscharisma*
If you shake say, a half cup of koi clay onto a couple of cups of water, going round the pond when the water is very still and dropping clouds of clay water in, the clouds of water might be drawn to where the leak is and indicate its location. That quantity of clay will be benign in the water.
