A week after reporting spikes in radiation contamination in test wells, a different groundwater test well shows beta ray contamination, including strontium, skyrocketing.

Tokyo Electric Power Company revealed that on 05 September 2013 they detected 80-thousand becquerels per liter of tritium in a well on the Pacific Coast side of Fukushima Daiichi Reactor 1.  The well is not a new test well, but has been there before the 11 March 2011 disasters.  TEPCo also admitted the radiation levels have increased from levels detected in the same well last year.

TEPCo also detected 32-hundred becquerels per liter of contamination at a well 20 meters (65 feet) north of a leaking water storage tank!  The week prior 650 becquerels per liter of beta contamination was found at a well 10 meters (32.8 feet) to the south of the same leaking storage tank.
