As TU has previously discussed, fearing Norwegian Radiation radioactive leak from the Institute for Energy Technology (Ife) its storage facility for spent nuclear fuel at Kjeller in Akershus.

According to a Swedish expert, hired by Ife, it should be “extensive corrosion” on the containers in the old stave well with fuel from the 1950s and 1960s, and “strong suspicion” that it is leaking into groundwater.

NRPA therefore notified that they would impose Ife investigating why around spell well for radioactivity before April 15th.

“In order to establish an appropriate program that can provide information about a possible contamination situation today, but also with the intent to monitor conditions in the future, it is necessary with good planning and necessary preparations,” writes Ife in an email to the NRPA.

This program involves including drilling of beans to take samples below the level where the fuel is stored and if necessary also around…….     http://www.tu.no/artikler/ife-trenger-mer-tid-for-a-undersoke-grunnen-for-radioaktivitet/346002
