Melted reactor 4

 

A Fukushima citizen living in 30km area published the book about his experience after 311.
In his book (P43), he refers to a nuclear worker who watched reactor 4 being destroyed.
Though explosion of reactor 4 was not reported, it is significantly destroyed.

『4号機は一番ミステリアスで、特に大きな爆発音もなかったのに、見ている前で建屋の外壁が映画のSFXのモーフィングのようにみるみる変形し、結果的には側面がぐちゃぐちゃに壊れたという』

<Translate>
Reactor 4 is the most mysterious case. There was no major blasting sound, but the walls of the reactor building were deformed like morphing of SFX in front of our eyes, the walls of lateral side went totally messed up after all.

About this site

This website updates the latest news about the Fukushima nuclear plant and also archives the past news from 2011. Because it's always updated and added live, articles, categories and the tags are not necessarily fitted in the latest format.
I am the writer of this website. About page remains in 2014. This is because my memory about 311 was clearer than now, 2023, and I think it can have a historical value. Now I'm living in Romania with 3 cats as an independent data scientist.
Actually, nothing has progressed in the plant since 2011. We still don't even know what is going on inside. They must keep cooling the crippled reactors by water, but additionally groundwater keeps flowing into the reactor buildings from the broken parts. This is why highly contaminated water is always produced more than it can circulate. Tepco is planning to officially discharge this water to the Pacific but Tritium is still remaining in it. They dilute this with seawater so that it is legally safe, but scientifically the same amount of radioactive tritium is contained. They say it is safe to discharge, but none of them have drunk it.
