(UPDATED) Just In, from TEPCO's Tweet: High Levels of Strontium, Tritium in Groundwater Sampled Near Reactor 2 Turbine Building at #Fukushima I Nuke Plant


Notes from the press conference in my latest post.

============================

(UPDATE 4) It is per liter, confirms Kino. Phew. It is still very high for groundwater, supposedly not contaminated (at least not by much at all).

=============================

(UPDATE 3) Jiji Tsushin says the unit is per liter, not per cubic centimeter.

=============================

(UPDATE 2) Independent journalist Ryuichi Kino's tweet:



Strontium at a level of 10^3 (in thousands) per cubic centimeter, tritium at a level of 10^5 (in hundred thousands) per cubic centimeter. (Update from Kino, it is per liter.)

=============================

(UPDATE) "Higher than normal", says Jiji Tsushin.

=============================

Details to be discussed in the ad hoc press conference at 10AM, June 19, 2013 (Japan Standard Time).

TEPCO Nuclear's tweet, about 30 minutes ago:



We will hold a press conference at 10AM today (June 19) on the third floor of our headquarters building [in Tokyo] to explain about high levels of tritium and strontium [from the groundwater sampled] from one of the observation holes on the east side of Reactor 2 turbine building. This ad hoc press conference can be viewed via live stream.
