The radiation levels offshore of Fukushima have dropped in the years since, but some of the reactors there are still leaking. And over the last decade, TEPCO has continued to cool the fuel cores with water, which is contaminated by the process.Mar 10, 2021

Is Fukushima still leaking into ocean?

TOKYO — The operator of the wrecked Fukushima nuclear power plant said Wednesday it plans to build an undersea tunnel so that massive amounts of treated but still radioactive water can be released into the ocean less than a mile away from the plant to avoid interference with local fishing.

Is Fukushima still leaking 2020?

Tiny amounts of radiation have continued leaking into the sea and elsewhere through underground passages, though the amount today is small and fish caught off the coast are safe to eat, scientists say.

Is Fukushima still radioactive 2022?

Japan's industry ministry and the IAEA have agreed to compile an interim report on the water discharge plan in 2022. Officials say it is now safe to live in most areas around the plant except for its immediate surroundings after extensive decontamination work.

How long will Fukushima remain hazardous?

These areas still have relatively high radioactivity. The half-life of radiocesium is about 29 years, meaning the quantity of the radioactive material should drop by half by roughly 2041. The leftover radiation from the much larger Chernobyl disaster of 1986 roughly follows that pattern, Johnson says.

Is Fukushima still leaking in 2021?

The radiation levels offshore of Fukushima have dropped in the years since, but some of the reactors there are still leaking. And over the last decade, TEPCO has continued to cool the fuel cores with water, which is contaminated by the process.

What is the current status of Fukushima?

The reactors of Fukushima Daiichi NPS are being kept in stable condition. The accident cut off the water supply to the reactors. As a result, the fuel generated heat, and hydrogen explosions occurred. Reactors are being kept stable.

Is Fukushima still leaking 2021?

The radiation levels offshore of Fukushima have dropped in the years since, but some of the reactors there are still leaking. And over the last decade, TEPCO has continued to cool the fuel cores with water, which is contaminated by the process.

Is Nagasaki still radioactive?

Is there still radiation in Hiroshima and Nagasaki? The radiation in Hiroshima and Nagasaki today is on a par with the extremely low levels of background radiation (natural radioactivity) present anywhere on Earth. It has no effect on human bodies.

What is currently happening in Fukushima?

Fukushima today is a swamp of groundwater and cooling water contaminated with strontium, tritium, cesium, and other radioactive particles. Engineers have laced the site with ditches, dams, sump pumps, and drains.
