An article in The Wall Street Journal (Asia) says Tepco has resumed using contaminated water to cool the reactors.
This is better than contaminating fresh seawater, but each time the water is recycled, is more radioactivity added?
It is not clear that the Areva decontamination system is 100 percent effective, or only partially effective, in removing contaminants as they are cycled through.
