Wednesday October 9th, 6 workers on the site of Fukushima were contaminated because of a leak of the reservoirs. Two days before, another hitch on the site provoked a power cut for the system of cooling. The October 3th, Tepco (the company administrator of the power plant) discovered a new leak on the reservoirs and admited, at the end of August, that 300 tons of contaminated water poured on the Pacific ocean. We can also say that, in March, a rat provoked a short-circuit that cut the power of the cooling system.
All weeks seems to bring a new event on the damaged nuclear power plant and, more than two years after the earthquake and the tsunami which destroyed the site, the Japanese government is exasperated by these problems with repetition.
