Japan Asked Russia Send Radiation Treatment Plants Floating

Japan asks Russia to help deliver the radiation treatment plants floating to deal with its stage Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant radiation that reaches several million times more secure than the level of the last few days.

Suzuran plant is the largest nuclear waste treatment plant in the world to treat liquid radioactive chemicals to freeze before putting in cement. Suzuran capable of processing 35 cubic meters of liquid waste per day and 7,000 cubic meters per annum. The plant is often used to dispose of nuclear submarines. However, to date there has been no information to state when the plant will arrive in Fukushima.

At the same time, engineers at the plant are also planning to build two large castles in the sea using a polyester fabric to prevent more pollution from the plant involved.

Yesterday, plant engineers had tried to cover the hole in the concrete reactor number 2 with crushed newsprint, chemicals, polymers, wood and cement dust to block the flow of radioactive water into the sea. However, these efforts failed.

Tokyo Electric Power (TEPCO) said it has 11.500 tons of polluted water flowing from the plant into the sea to provide more water storage that has higher radioactive levels.
TEPCO also began paying a courtesy to residents evacuated from the area near the plant Fukushima, about 20 million yen (RM714, 000).

In a statement issued yesterday, the company said, the amount of radioactive water flow into the sea would give ‘immediate impact’ on the environment, but the ministry was trying to stop the leak as soon as possible.

“The samples taken on April 2, showed that the sea water near a reactor that contains 7.5 million times more radioactive than safe levels. However, today the number dropped to five million, “the statement said.

Meanwhile, analysts said, the flow of radioactive water into the sea due to the actions of engineers and workers at the plant that pumps water into the reactor and allowing it to flow.

“This method is a difficult process but it can prevent the dilution of the fuel would release more radioactive waste into the environment,” he said.

It means the water will meet the plant and partly flows into the ocean. Employees now have to find space to store the radioactive water because it also hampers efforts to restore the cooling system.
