A sample collected Friday contained around 1,100 becquerels of tritium per liter, the highest level detected in seawater since the nuclear crisis at the plant started in March 2011, the utility said Monday. An official of the Nuclear Regulation Authority said groundwater containing radioactive substances may be seeping into the harbor from the plant site and there is a need to carry out a careful investigation because the data collected so far are limited.
The level was more than double that of a sample taken on June 10 in the same area. The latest announcement was made after Tepco detected high levels of radioactive tritium and strontium in groundwater from an observation well at the plant.

Jeeze i know ive heard reports of steam issuing from the ground back there a ways...anybody?
GOT IT!

For those with no video...the RT reporter questions a physicist about the cracks and steam comming up.
He reiterates that the containment is totally breached and the materials could be moving away from the area.....
Meaning being carried by groundwater or burning their way down i suppose.....

That is not a mega-steam-explosion though.
It is a gradual release of steam.
This fits the hypothesis of gradual dispersion and cooling/reheating through natural causation. In my humble presumption that is. extra DIV
Tritium (/ˈtrɪtiəm/ or /ˈtrɪʃiəm/; symbol T or 3H, also known as hydrogen-3) is a radioactive isotope of hydrogen.
Hydrogen (H) (Standard atomic mass: 1.00794 u) has three naturally occurring isotopes, sometimes denoted 1H, 2H, and 3H. Other, highly unstable nuclei (4H to 7H) have been synthesized in the laboratory but not observed in nature. The most stable radioisotope is tritium, with a half-life of 12.32 years. All heavier isotopes are synthetic and have a half-life less than a zeptosecond (10-21 second). Of these, 5H is the most stable, and the least stable isotope is 7H.[1][2]
Hydrogen is the only element that has different names for its isotopes in common use today. The 2H (or hydrogen-2) isotope is usually called deuterium, while the 3H (or hydrogen-3) isotope is usually called tritium. The symbols D and T (instead of 2H and 3H) are sometimes used for deuterium and tritium. The IUPAC states that while this use is common it is not preferred. The ordinary isotope of hydrogen, with no neutrons, is sometimes called "protium". (During the early study of radioactivity, some other heavy radioactive isotopes were given names – but such names are rarely used today).

I believe this is the distraction from a more dangerous threat that is talked about in secret
I could be wrong and they simply want to leak the devastating truth slowly

Ya, makes you wonder what is being said behind closed doors
