More tanks for contaminated water at Fukushima The operator of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant says it will build new tanks to store contaminated water. Tokyo Electric Power Company says the plant is producing 400 tons of contaminated water per day. This is partly because groundwater is entering the reactor building through cracks in walls. TEPCO says the existing tanks have a capacity of 220,000 tons and are 85 percent full. It says they are likely to be full in around 3 months if water accumulates at the current rate. The tanks will boost capacity by 170,000 tons. The utility says that should be sufficient until November next year. After that, the utility may have trouble securing space for extra tanks. It will have to flatten wooded land in its compounds. Aug. 27, 2012 source:
