Measures to prevent the discharge of contaminated water into the ocean include A) Groundwater leakage prevention by a steel water barrier on the sea-side and B) Pumping up of groundwater dammed up behind the sea-side water barrier from the well points and groundwater drains. Due to these measures, the volume of contaminated water discharged, 540m3/day in May 2014, fell to 80m3/day in FY2023, and was below 100m3/day in FY2024.</p><p>"In the reduction of the toxicity of contaminated water, cesium and strontium are removed, and after the removal of impurities using a reverse osmosis (RO) membrane, the multi-radionuclide removal equipment (ALPS – Advanced Liquid Processing System) then removes 62 radionuclides [NOT COMPLETELY!!!]. The water is then stored in tanks (containing 1,297,190m3 as of January 30, 2025. However, due to past equipment <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/malfunctions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>malfunctions</span></a> and operational policies, around 64% of the stored water exceeds the notification concentration). </p><p>"Oceanic release of the ALPS-treated contaminated water began on August 24, 2023, a total of 78,285m3 being released in ten batches by January 2025. Table 2 shows the amounts released in each release and the total amount of tritium released. The concentration is gradually rising. One further release is scheduled during FY2024. In addition, roughly 15,720m3 of water remain in buildings, and a further 8,946m3 of strontium-treated water, etc., 5,644m3 of water treated by RO, and 9,463m3 of concentrated wastewater, etc. also exist onsite."</p><p>Read more:<br><a href="https://cnic.jp/english/?p=8272" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">cnic.jp/english/?p=8272</span><span class="invisible"></span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FukushimaIsntOver" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FukushimaIsntOver</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaterIsLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WaterIsLife</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PacificOcean" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PacificOcean</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TEPCOLies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TEPCOLies</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FukushimaNuclear" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FukushimaNuclear</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RethinkNotRestart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RethinkNotRestart</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RadioactiveContamination" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RadioactiveContamination</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HormesisIsBullShit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HormesisIsBullShit</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Bioaccumulation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Bioaccumulation</span></a></p>

This is where, 80 years ago, the first atomic bomb was detonated on <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Indigenous" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Indigenous</span></a> land. As a result, these lands are among those most affected by uranium mining and the nuclear industry in general. <br> <br>"Until now, few Indigenous filmmakers have tackled this difficult and often hidden subject. For this reason, the organizers are dedicating an award to promote the production of Indigenous and Native American films about nuclear power, nuclear weapons, nuclear waste, uranium mining, and their consequences. <br> <br>"The best film by an indigenous or Native American filmmaker will receive a special festival trophy in Window Rock.<br> <br>"Now in its 14th year, the International Uranium Film Festival (IUFF) is dedicated to presenting films on all nuclear issues and the entire nuclear fuel chain: from uranium mining to nuclear waste, from nuclear war to nuclear accidents. This unique-in-the-world film festival - named 'One of the 25 Coolest Film Festivals 2024' by MovieMaker Magazine - was founded in 2010 in Rio de Janeiro and took place for the first time in May, 2011. It has presented more than 300 films in 9 countries and more than 40 cities around the world. <br> <br>"The founders and directors of the International Uranium Film Festival, Márcia Gomes de Oliveira and Norbert G. Suchanek, were recently awarded the internationally respected 2025 Nuclear Free Future Award for their work.<br> <br>Film submissions are free for indigenous filmmakers and the deadline is September 20, 2025.<br>Contact for Film Entry: info @ uraniumfilmfestival . org (no spaces)<br> <br>We welcome any support, partners and sponsors.

Revealed: #Sellafield #nuclear site has leak that could pose risk to public

Safety concerns at #Europe’s most #hazardous plant have caused diplomatic tensions with US, Norway and Ireland

Anna Isaac and Alex Lawson
Tue 5 Dec 2023

"Sellafield, Europe’s most hazardous nuclear site, has a worsening leak from a huge silo of #RadioactiveWaste that could pose a risk to the public, the Guardian can reveal.

"Concerns over safety at the crumbling building, as well as cracks in a reservoir of toxic sludge known as B30, have caused diplomatic tensions with countries including the US, Norway and Ireland, which fear Sellafield has failed to get a grip of the problems.

"The leak of radioactive liquid from one of the 'highest nuclear hazards in the UK' – a decaying building at the vast Cumbrian site known as the Magnox swarf storage Silo (MSSS) – is likely to continue to 2050. That could have 'potentially significant consequences' if it gathers pace, risking contaminating #groundwater, according to an official document.

"Cracks have also developed in the concrete and asphalt skin covering the huge pond containing decades of nuclear sludge, part of a catalogue of safety problems at the site.

"These concerns have emerged in #NuclearLeaks, a year-long #Guardian investigation into problems spanning cyber #hacking, #radioactivecontamination and toxic #workplace culture at the vast nuclear dump.

"Sellafield, a sprawling 6 sq km (2 sq mile) site on the Cumbrian coast employing 11,000 people, stores and treats nuclear waste from weapons programmes and nuclear power generation, and is the largest such facility in Europe."
