It’s because the reports are based on Tepco and the government’s release. I’ve been following them long enough to know their trick.

They have us focus on the least serious matters to blind us from what really matters.

I’m telling this because since July, they’ve been focusing on the groundwater (contamination and the increasing volume) issue just on the seaside of reactor2.

I pretty much know this is the minimum problem, am trying to smell where is the real matter.

We need to separate the journalists and the media companies.

Actually (some Japanese) journalists are ferociously biting Tepco, but their reports are manipulated by the editors.

In order to stop the journalists from reaching the bigger matter, also Tepco uses another trick.

It’s that they suggest the possible reasons, put them in order from the least likely/serious one to the most likely/serious one, and verify them one after one in this order. Until they finish this endless process, journalists can never get to the bigger problem.

Summing them all up, this is their trick.

1. Pick up the least serious problem on purpose.

2. Suggest the possible causes.

3. Start investigating from the least important one.

4. Gain time.

5. When they finally admit the bigger problem on-going, it’s too late. (Remember meltdown)

As to the groundwater problem on reactor2 seaside,

In the beginning, Tepco suggested the contaminated water leakage from the past leakage point as the reason, which is the least serious one.

Then they got to suggest the leakage from the underground trench, and are investigating it now.

There’s another cause that Tepco has not mentioned – It’s the direct leakage from the reactor turbine buildings.

This means the coolant water is directly leaking to the ground and the sea. This is way more serious than those two above.

Also, they only focus on reactor2 and 3, but hardly mention the groundwater contamination beside reactor 1 and 4.

Before 311, these 2 reactors received the most groundwater.

As a conclusion, we need to suspect the direct leakage of the coolant water from reactor1 and 4.

Especially about reactor1, the water that actually touched the fuel may be flowing to the sea.

When Tepco officially admits it, everything would be already too late.

I strongly demand the international media (including BBC) to pressure Tepco for the relevant data disclosure. This is what the press exist for.
