Commissioner Fuketa's face was contorted as he tried to comprehend what TEPCO was saying about moving the pumped water into Shaft C. His face got further contorted when TEPCO said they chose the location to seal the connection between the turbine building and the trenches using "freeze" method, because the location has the least area to freeze.<br /><br />TEPCO was full of half-brained plans which they presented to NRA as given (no doubt coming from Energy Agency).<br /><br />mscharisma, it is probably the former, as it is just too radioactive for workers to go anywhere near, as is.arevamirpal::laprimaverahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10637620330944911600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1765307840677473617.post-41064020163162398582013-08-13T00:43:05.090-07:002013-08-13T00:43:05.090-07:00More water in the shaft will make it leak / over f...More water in the shaft will make it leak / over flow quicker to the ocean and that is exactly what they are hoping for. You do not have to clean it, saves money. This deluting story is just to let you believe it's good or so, but as always with Tepco, it's not explained why it is so good.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1765307840677473617.post-46131994678061324722013-08-13T00:24:29.698-07:002013-08-13T00:24:29.698-07:00TEPCO must be doing this for show.

How about a mix of freshwater, sea water and radioactive water coming up from the well. All that equipment will become contaminated and be treated like nuclear waste.<br /><br />Is Shaft C watertight or are they making a loop to filter the radioactive water?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1765307840677473617.post-3193408234905410472013-08-13T00:18:08.392-07:002013-08-13T00:18:08.392-07:00So, is diluting the water in shaft C for the purpo...So, is diluting the water in shaft C for the purpose of making it a bit easier to finally remove that water altogether or is it just a (temporary) way around saying, "we have no good idea what to do with the water we pump up?"<br />*mscharisma*Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
