TEPCO moving forward with plan to build underground ice wall to contain toxic water at FukushimaPaul Lawrance Testing aimed at gathering technical information to assess the risk involved in the project is underway as the level of toxic water at the plant builds to 400 tonnes a day. The plan, which was first made public in September of last year, is to pump coolant through piping deep into the ground to create a1.4 kilometer (0.9 mile) rectangular wall. Dale Klein, who chairs Tokyo Electric Power Companys Nuclear Reform Monitoring Committee, says there is doubt that the ice will be completely effective due to theuntested assumptions about the sites hydrology, reports Bloomberg News. The forwarding of the containment effort comes on the heels of a report finding that Albacore tuna caught off the Oregon coast have seen a slight elevation in levels of radioactivity since the meltdown. Although the levels of radioactivity in the tuna were found to match the amount of radiation the average person is annually exposed to in everyday life through cosmic rays, the air, the ground, X-rays and other sources, it sheds light on how the disasters side effects are not limited to Japan.
