April 16: Nuclear Disaster Japan: Radiation Increase In Groundwater

Fukushima Nuclear Power Facility has seen a huge increase in radiation found in groundwater samples, just over the last 10 days.

On Wednesday and Thursday, TEPCO pumped over 600 tons of highly radioactive water from a trench connected to the #2 reactor, just to see it filled back up to the same level on Friday.

Also, there was an apparent spike of the temperature in reactor core #3. TEPCO states it must have been just a glitch in the instuments.  Please visit an ad if time permits :-)
