www.youtube.com watch along live, right now they are doing close ups on each building more in depth video for updates today later tonight. Highly radioactive water has been found seeping into the ocean near one of the reactors at the damagedFukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. Workers found that contaminated water was flowing from a pipe into a pit near the Number 3 reactor’s water intake on Wednesday morning. The workers then used a camera to film near the water intake pipe. They found contaminated water was also leaking from the wall of the pit into the ocean. Tokyo Electric Power Company says that water in the pit contained 37000 becquerels of cesium-134 per cubic centimeter. That represents 620000 times above the safety limit set by the government. TEPCO also found that seawater between the intake and a nearby special barrier had the same radioactive substance at 32000 times the limit. The barrier was set up to prevent radioactive water from spilling into the ocean. The firm says it managed to stop the leak later in the day after it blocked the pipe and buried the pit in concrete. TEPCO is looking into the possibility that radioactive water in the reactor’s turbine building may have leaked through a tunnel connecting to the pipe because water levels in the turbine building had fallen since Tuesday. Last month, TEPCO confirmed that radioactive water had leaked into the ocean from a crack in a pit outside the No.2 reactor. It later stopped the leak. RESIDENTS, PLEASE …
