In a myriad of issues coming from Tokyo Electric Power Co. (TEPCO) concerning the severely damaged Fukushima nuclear power plant, the latest revealed was the discovery of a hole in its underwater fence, which is meant to keep sediments from reaching the Pacific Ocean. The utility said Thursday that albeit the hole, the remaining barriers remain intact.
It somehow reminds this writer of the sole storage tank that leaked 300 tons of radioactive water. The silt fence found to have a hole is one of the barriers set up around the plant, which is supposed to ensure the isolation of radioactive materials coming from the defunct nuclear reactors. According to the utility, like the remaining storage tanks of radioactive water, the other fences have not been damaged
