Fukushima News 1/28/14:Tepco To Begin Freezing Soil To Stop Water Leaks: Seal Deaths Linked To Fuku
Channel: missingsky102
Date: 30/01/2014

Tokyo Electric Power Company is to begin work at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant to stop radioactive wastewater from flowing into the sea.
The task of creating walls of frozen soil is due to start at the Number 2 and Number 3 reactors on Wednesday.
Massive amounts of water are being poured into the reactors to prevent melted nuclear fuel from overheating. Some of the water is contaminated with radioactive substances, and is leaking from the damaged reactor container vessels.
The water has accumulated in the reactor buildings, adjacent turbine buildings and underground tunnels. TEPCO believes the water is leaking from the tunnels, seeping into the ground and reaching the sea.
Engineers will begin their work by digging vertical holes where the tunnels meet the turbine buildings. Pipes will be installed in the holes to inject liquid coolant to freeze the soil to block the water.
