Contaminated water has been pouring into the Pacific Ocean from the
disabled Fukushima nuclear plant for the past two years, an Industry
Ministry official told reporters on Wednesday as PM Shinzo Abe pledged
to step up efforts to halt the crisis.
Abe put the Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry in charge of
the situation, while demanding that the plant's operator, Tokyo
Electric Power Co (TEPCO) take the necessary steps to deal with
the cleanup, which is anticipated to take more than 40 years at a
cost of US$11 billion.
Japanese authorities are working in crisis mode, attempting to
assure the public both at home and abroad that the situation will
not further deteriorate into a widespread environmental
catastrophe.
"We think that the volume of water is about 300 tons a
day," said Yushi Yoneyama, an official with the Minister of
Economy, Trade and Industry, which regulates TEPCO.
Yoneyama said the government plans to reduce the leakage amount
to 60 tons per day by as early as December, but given the
Japanese government’s progress in the cleanup to date that goal
may be difficult to achieve. Removing 300 tonnes of groundwater,
however, would not necessarily halt leakage into the sea, he
said.
If the .Gov or Jack booted thugs don't do us in this surely will. And what does the Main Stream Media have to say?..
