In the press conference of 8/23/2013, Tepco’s spokesman
commented they suspect the coolant water of turbine buildings may be directly
leaking to the ground.
The radiation level of the groundwater is not decreasing.
Tepco has been insisting it’s from the retained water of underground trench.
This is the first time that Tepco mentioned the possibility
of the direct leakage of the coolant water.
Because the radiation density of coolant water is
significantly high and it keeps being provided, this “potential” direct leakage
is way more crucial for the groundwater contamination.
No detailed data was published.

[300m3 leakage] Tepco “Radiation proof of the tank sealing
material has never been tested”

In the press conference of 8/23/2013, Tepco stated they have
never tested the radiation proof of the sealing material of the flange type
tanks.
3 tanks have leaked contaminated water so far. These tanks
are called “flange type”. They have rubber sealing instead of welding, which
can leak from the flange parts.
There are at least 300 tanks of the same type in Fukushima
nuclear plant and each tank contains 1,000 tones of contaminated water.
If the sealing part was deteriorated due to the extremely
high level of radiation, nearly 300 of other tanks of the same type may also
leak too.
