The silence surrounding the Fukushima disaster recently has been
deafening, it is one year in fact since any reliable information has
been released from Tokyo Electric Power Co, the owners of the stricken
plant.
Last year, Tokyo Electric Power Co said a system meant to purify
contaminated water had failed to remove dangerous radioactive
contaminants.
A report from Reuters today, claims most of that water - stored in 1,000
tanks around the plant - will need to be reprocessed before it is
released into the ocean, the most likely scenario for disposal.
Reprocessing could take nearly two years and divert personnel and energy
from dismantling the tsunami-wrecked reactors, a project that will take
up to 40 years, (which is only an estimate as Tepco still haven't
invented the technology to fix the problem, they could still be trying
to fix the problem in 2060.)
