12 Dec (NucNet): A gradual rise in radiation readings at a test well at the Fukushima-Daiichi nuclear power station appears to be the result of successful efforts to pump groundwater and divert it from flowing into the ocean, operator Tokyo Electric Power Company (Tepco) said.
11 Dec (NucNet): Members of the European Parliament today approved plans for a single registration procedure for carriers of radioactive materials, to replace EU member states’ differing and often complex national reporting and authorisation procedures.
