“The number of children and grandchildren with cancer in their bones, with leukemia in their blood, or with poison in their lungs might seem statistically small to some, in comparison with natural health hazards. But this is not a natural health hazard—and it is not a statistical issue. The loss of even one human life, or the malformation of even one baby—who may be born long after we are gone—should be of concern to us all. Our children and grandchildren are not merely statistics toward which we can be indifferent.”

John F. Kennedy, July 26th, 1963

TEPCO forced to shut down contaminated water processing system at Fukushima Daiichi again

TEPCO forced to shut down contaminated water processing system at Fukushima Daiichi again


Workers at the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant are working around the clock to cool reactors and spent fuel pools.  They are accumulating massive amounts of highly contaminated water from the cooling operations and running out of space to store it on-site.
The troubled Advanced Liquid Processing System, or ALPS, which TEPCO has placed so much responsibility for helping process highly radioactive water to prepare it for storage, has broken down once again during trial operations.
