This was close to the FUKUSHIMA reactor that has been leaking into the ocean for years now.

More News; Work goes on at ruined N-plant February 03, 2016

By Kazuki Fujisawa / Yomiuri Shimbun Staff Writer
FUKUSHIMA NO. 1 NUCLEAR POWER PLANT — I entered the Tokyo Electric Power Co.’s power plant on Tuesday, just weeks before the fifth anniversary of the day of the start of the nuclear crisis following the Great East Japan Earthquake.

I looked around the precincts of the nuclear power plant from windows on the seventh floor — about 30 meters above the ground — of a nine-story building used as a rest facility for workers. The building was completed in May last year.

About 1,000 tanks storing more than 700,000 tons of contaminated water could be seen in the wide spaces in front of buildings accommodating reactors Nos. 1 to 4, where the decontamination and decommissioning work is being conducted.

A TEPCO official explained, “In 2013, the radiation dose was estimated to be about 25 sieverts (25 million microsieverts) per hour. Though about five years have passed, no measures have been taken.”
