Again leaking radioactive water at the Fukushima plant 1
Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) said it has detected about 10 liters of water containing Strontium radioactivity that has been leaked from the water treatment facility in the Fukushima 1 nuclear power plant, but this amount of radioactive water has not flowed sea.

Around 10:30 am on January 10, a detected liquid flowed from a seawater tank created during the highly radioactive dehydration process at the Fukushima 1 nuclear power plant.
This amount of contaminated water leaked after radioactive cesium reduction. The leak was stopped after the workers tightened the screw where the leak occurred.
The above seawater treatment facility is necessary for the process of pumping water into the No.1 and No. 3 reactors because these have lost their cooling function after the March earthquake and tsunami.
Seawater once used to cool the reactor will contain a large amount of radioactive material and will be included in the water treatment device to be reused to cool the reactor.
The Japanese government's nuclear safety agency has ordered TEPCO to immediately take measures to prevent recurrence of the danger and consider speeding up the time to install a difficult radioactive treatment facility. like Strontium with existing equipment.
TEPCO earlier said it plans to install a facility that eliminates many radioactive substances this year.
