Contaminated water still a serious issue at Fukushima Daiichi
Nearly two years after the onset of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster, over 220,000 metric tons of contaminated water have been collected and stored on site, still another 75,000 tons remains in the reactor buildings. Every day at least another 40 tons of contaminated water are created, requiring additional storage tanks to be constructed.
Currently the concentrated saltwater receiving tanks are 95% filled to capacity. Currently 220,761 m3 of contaminated water is being stored, but the total capacity is only 232,000 m3.http://enformable.com/2013/01/contaminated-water-still-a-serious-issue-at-fukushima-daiichi/
