Fukushima Madness: Plant Decontamination System Shuts Down Amid Failure
Jan 9, 2014 | Story Leak | Anthony Gucciardi
As the Fukushima nightmare continues under the wing of plant operator
TEPCO, the blatant incompetence of the highly deceptive corporation is
once again apparent following a complete shutdown of the plant’s
decontamination system. The very same system responsible for handling
the mass amounts of radioactive water around Fukushima that TEPCO originally promised would be entirely decontaminated by the end of 2014.
And instead of fulfilling their promise to decontaminate the plant’s
radioactive water by the end of 2014, TEPCO now insists that it needs
another entire year to finish the job — and this system shutdown
certainly will not help in reducing that time. According to media sources and
official TEPCO statements, the failure of the Advanced Liquid
Processing System (ALPS) may ‘take a long time to restart’. What’s
worse, however, is that this is not the first time the system has been
shutdown due to failure.
As early as last December, TEPCO also experienced a malfunction
within their decontamination equipment that led to the inability to
filter radionuclides like strontium and cobalt from the contaminated
plant water.
