TEPCO to resume water decontamination The operator of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant says it will soon test a filtration system that could remove most radioactive substances from accumulated wastewater at the site. The Advanced Liquid Processing System is the key to Tokyo Electric Power Company's plans to purify radioactive-contaminated water that keeps accumulating at the plant. The company hopes to completely decontaminate the stored waste water by March 2015. TEPCO engineers initially planned to begin using the system in August. But they postponed their decision after they found a water leak during a test-run in June. TEPCO says the leak was most likely caused by chemicals that corroded the system. Engineers have since reinforced the system with a corrosion-proof material. They will begin to test-run one of the 3 systems on Friday. The operator plans to start the remaining 2 systems by mid-November. Niigata governor to study TEPCO safety plan The governor of Niigata Prefecture says he will closely examine a request by Tokyo Electric Power Company, or TEPCO, to approve installation of more safety devices at the Kashiwazaki Kariwa nuclear plant. The installation is a prerequisite for the plant's restart. TEPCO President Naomi Hirose visited Niigata on Wednesday. He handed Governor Hirohiko Izumida a document seeking advance approval of a plan to install more filter vent systems at the Number 6 and 7 reactors of the plant in Niigata Prefecture on the Sea of Japan. TEPCO hopes to restart the two reactors. The plant has seven and is the world's largest nuclear power plant in terms of power output. But the reactors must first be screened under the government's new tough guidelines. The move to seek prior approval of local communities is based on a safety agreement between the utility and prefectures and municipalities that host nuclear plants. At their previous meeting in July, Izumida refused to take the document, to protest TEPCO's plan to file for safety screening before obtaining local approval. Fukushima fishermen resume test-fishing A fisheries cooperative in Fukushima Prefecture has resumed offshore test-fishing after several weeks. Fishing was suspended after radioactive water was found to be leaking into the ocean from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant. 21 trawlers left Matsukawaura Port in Soma City on Wednesday morning. Before their departure, the head of the Soma-Futaba Fisheries Cooperative, Hiroyuki Sato, called on the fishermen to resume full-scale fishing by overcoming difficulties. The cooperative decided on Tuesday to resume test-fishing. Officials say radiation tests of marine products and seawater indicated no problems and their safety has been confirmed. http://enenews.com/tv-force-beyond-human-control-was-unleashed-at-fukushima-impossible-to-stop-radioactive-groundwater-flowing-into-pacific-says-former-top-u-s-nuclear-official-video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djUZwaRCCNQ http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-09-25/doubt-over-fukushima-safety-claims/4979554 http://enenews.com/radio-sinkhole-potential-fukushima-plant-pumping-groundwater-nuclear-expert-yeah-very-good-point-very-happen-workers-area-audio http://archives.weru.org/weru-news-report/2013/08/weru-news-report-8613/ http://enenews.com/nuclear-experts-fukushima-unit-4-shown-signs-collapsing-buildings-becoming-saturated-fractures-soil-large-structure-already-down-plant-after-ground-super-saturated-mudslide-march-2011-photo http://archives.weru.org/weru-news-report/2013/08/weru-news-report-8613/ http://enenews.com/study-high-concentrations-fukushima-radioactive-material-will-reach-west-coast-north-america-entire-coastline-be-affected-alaska-mexico-negatively-affect-human-life-decades-raise-concern-model http://enenews.com/study-shows-fukushima-nuclear-pollution-becoming-more-concentrated-in-pacific-as-it-nears-u-s-west-coast-plume-travels-a-nearly-straight-line-to-america-appears-to-stay-together-with-little-dis http://enenews.com/tokyo-professor-i-want-to-stress-japan-is-on-verge-of-collapse-after-fukushima-osaka-professor-if-you-dont-recognize-health-risks-and-take-action-right-now-you-have-no-future-video http://www.arirang.co.kr/Player/TV_Vod.asp?HL=L&code;=VOD&vSeq;=68329# Feel like a radiated sitting duck?
