Fukushima Daiichi NPS Prompt Report 2013

Fukushima Daiichi NPS Prompt Report (Apr 13, 2013)Water Leak from the Underground Reservoirs in Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station (Follow-up Information No.48)

This is follow-up information regarding the water leak from the underground reservoirs at Fukushima Daiichi NPS.

Today (April 13), chloride concentration analysis was performed in the drain holes of the underground reservoirs No.1-7 (at 14 locations) and the leakage detection holes (samples could not be collected at 2 out of 10 locations) of the underground reservoirs No.1-4 and 6. The results are as follows.

Compared to the analysis results on the previous day (April 12), the chloride concentration in the leakage detection hole (northeast) of the underground reservoir No.1 has increased. On the other hand, the chloride concentrations of the leakage detection hole (northeast) of the underground reservoir No.2 and the leakage detection hole (southwest) of the underground reservoir No.3 have decreased. No significant change was found in other locations.

The water level, etc. of the underground reservoirs will continue to be intensively monitored.
