Underground storage tanks for radioactive water at Fukushima Daiichi apparently leaked because the utility company, TEPCO, skimped on how much clay was used to seal them off. Japan’s Environmental Ministry stipulates that 50 centimeters of bentonite should surround waterproof polyethylene sheets around any industrial waste site, but TEPCO laid down only 6.4 millimeters. If the standard had been followed, leaks could have been prevented “for several decades to about a century,” said a civil engineering professor at Ibaraki University.
As part of its desperate attempt to limit the vast volume of radioactive water accumulating at the power plant, TEPCO wants to dig 12 wells just inland of the ruined reactors that will catch about 100 tons of the 400 tons of groundwater flowing into the buildings daily (another flood, in addition to the original tsunami, that TEPCO engineers evidently failed to foresee). The utility hopes to dump this uncontaminated well water into the ocean, but faces resistance from rightly skeptical fishing cooperatives in the region.
