Radioactive water may still be entering tunnels
Nuclear & Energy Nov. 13, 2014 - Updated 16:02 UTC-5
The operator of the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant faces another challenge in its effort to address radioactive water at the complex.
It says highly contaminated water may still be flowing from reactor buildings into adjacent underground tunnels even after a work to stem the flow ended.
The water in the tunnels is believed to be leaking into the sea. Tokyo Electric Power Company plans to pump the tainted water out of the tunnels and fill them with cement.
To prepare for the process, the firm began work in April to stem the flow of radioactive water between the reactor buildings and the tunnels. It involved freezing some of the water as well as plugging the gaps with filler materials.
TEPCO finished the work on November 6th. But workers found that water levels in the reactor buildings and the tunnels are still linked. They note this suggests that the flow of radioactive water between them may not have been stopped.
TEPCO officials say that if the situation doesn't improve, they may start filling the tunnels with cement even before they finish removing contaminated water.

New Fukushima Governor Inspects Plant

The new governor of Fukushima has called for all nuclear reactors in the prefecture to be permanently closed.
Three days after taking office, Masao Uchibori visited Fukushima Dai-ichi power plant on Friday to inspect the process for decommissioning reactors. They were damaged by the 2011 earthquake and tsunami.
Uchibori observed ongoing work to dismantle a reactor building cover. A project began last month to clear debris and to eventually remove the nuclear fuel.
The governor also inspected equipment used to decontaminate radioactive water.

Relatives of man who killed himself to sue TEPCO

Relatives of a man who killed himself after the 2011 nuclear accident at the Fukushima Daiichi power plant plan to sue its operator, Tokyo Electric Power Company.
On April 11th, 2011, one month after the accident, the central government showed a plan to designate Iitate Village in Fukushima Prefecture as an evacuation zone.
The following day, Fumio Okubo committed suicide at his home at the age of 102. He was the oldest person in the village at the time. He had said he could not evacuate from where he'd lived for a century.
The 3 relatives plan to file a suit with the Tokyo District Court as soon as next month. They say they'll seek damages of at least 30 million yen, or about 260,000 dollars.

Nuclear evacuees seek rise in TEPCO compensation
Nuclear & Energy Nov. 14, 2014 - Updated 03:58 UTC-5
More than 2,800 evacuees from a village near the damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant are seeking state arbitration for a rise in compensation from Tokyo Electric Power Company, the plant's operator.
Iitate Village is still an evacuation zone three years and eight months after the nuclear accident at the power plant. But decontamination work is proceeding across the village, which is located about 40 kilometers from the plant.
About half the village's population, or 2,837 evacuees, filed for arbitration with the Center for Settlement of Fukushima Nuclear Damage Claims on Friday.
