TRITIUM LEVEL RISING IN FUKUSHIMA PLANT PORT

Officials from Tokyo Electric Power Company say the level of radioactive tritium has been rising in sea water near the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.

 They say they can't rule out the possibility that contaminated groundwater seeped into the sea.

 TEPCO officials said on Monday that samples collected on Friday contained 1,100 becquerels of tritium per liter.That is 10 times the amount detected in previous tests.

 But they said the figure is still less than one-fiftieth of the government-set limit for water to be released into the sea.

 TEPCO workers said samples collected from wells on the sea side of the No. 2 reactor from late last month to early this month contained tritium and strontium above the official safety level.

 TEPCO officials say they will study data from the sea and well samples to determine whether underground water seeped into the sea.

 They said if their analysis confirms that's what happened, they will use chemicals to solidify the ground.

REGULATOR URGES REDUCTION OF TRITIUM INTO SEA

Japan's Nuclear Regulation Authority has urged Tokyo Electric Power Company to address a steep rise in levels of radioactive tritium in waters near the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant.

 The authority says contaminated water is likely to be leaking from the site.

 TEPCO had reported that water collected last Friday from a port near the plant contained 1,100 becquerels of tritium per liter. That's 10 times higher than the level logged during the year that ended in April.

 TEPCO earlier found that levels of radioactive tritium and strontium were rising between late May and June in a well near the No. 2 reactor building.

 The utility says the tritium level at the port is still one-fiftieth of the government-set limit.

 But regulators warned on Wednesday that it's possible a high level of contaminated water is leaking. They called for urgent measures to prevent further leaks.

 The authority's chairman, Shunichi Tanaka, said he understands that working in the crippled plant site is difficult. But he stressed that comprehensive data-gathering is necessary to determine what impact the radioactive leaks have on the environment.
