TEPCO has assigned new managers to subdivided sections of the plant in the hopes this might eliminate some of the ongoing problems at the plant. After another batch of minor accidents, water control failures and a worker death there was more pressure on TEPCO to do something.

A new record high tritium level in the port was found between the unit 1 and unit 2 intakes recently. The high readings were found both at the surface and in deeper water at the same location. This section has already had underground wall solidification work completed. TEPCO has not explained how they think these changes are happening.

TEPCO is 1 month behind on installing welded tanks for contaminated water at the plant. They blamed a logistics shortage. METI is funding the tank installation but apparently TEPCO is yet again in charge of the actual work.
