Fukushima Operators Struggle to Contain 'Outrageous Amount' of Radioactive Water

"Operators of Japan's Fukushima Dai-ichi plant are having trouble storing a perpetual accumulation of radioactive cooling water from the plant's broken reactors, the plant's water-treatment manager, Yuichi Okamura, told the Associated Press in an interview this week.
File image from video footage released by Tokyo Electric Power Co. (TEPCO) shows spent fuel storage pool of the Unit 4 reactor building at the Fukushima plant (AP Photo/Tokyo Electric Power Co., File) The plant currently holds 200,000 tonnes of highly
contaminated waste water, used to cool the broken reactors, but operator, Tokyo Electric Power Company, continues to struggle to find ways to store the toxic substance. TEPCO has said they are running out of room to build more storage tanks and the volume of water will more than triple within three years.
"It's a time-pressing issue because the storage of contaminated water has its limits, there is only limited storage space," Okamura said.

============================================
What fools we are for not doing what we can to help Japan
Instead of harming Syria ,
And how far, far more foolish we are
for failing to make America safe
from a set of similar cataclysmic tragedies
far, far more hurtful and eons more lasting
than tens more of Nagasakis and Hiroshimas.
But Axelrod, Obama, Panetta, Petraeus, Hilary, Susan, Samantha and our Dualies know best:
"Destroy what is good and support what is evil."
Right?
SHOCKLEY
