TICK TOC: It gets worse every minute at Fukushima plant, groundwater
mixing with melted fuel — Gundersen: There’s no end in sight because the
nuclear core is in contact with groundwater
Interview with
nuclear expert Arnie Gundersen of Fairewinds Energy Education, Power
Hour, Jan. 16, 2014 (at 58:00 in): What makes Fukushima different than
Chernobyl and TMI -- they were essentially stopped in less than a year.
We’re at 3 years ¬and there’s no end in sight. The reason is that the nuclear core is in contact with the groundwater and that’s bad, and that’s going to be bad for years to come.

NHK Nuclear Watch, Jan. 16, 2014: An issue that gets worse with every
passing minute...the build-up of contaminated water. Lake Barrett, Tepco
advisor: “Water is a continuing challenge, control of the contaminated
water is a very complex matter. It’s a very complicated site with
groundwater movements.” Groundwater becomes tainted hour after hour at
the plant. It seeps into the damaged reactor buildings and mixes with
melted fuel.
