Fukushima Ice Wall Not Fully Sealing Groundwater Flow
TEPCO pursues a 312 million ice wall around the Fukushima Daiichi site to curb groundwater reaching melted reactors. Officials warn gaps and rainfall may allow up to 50 tons daily of contaminated water, despite the one mile long barrier turned on in sections. The project, after the 2011 disaster, aims to stem a costly and ongoing water dilemma as robots map debris and a 40 year dismantling timeline looms.
