Spent Fuel Pools

Reactor4 foundation is so soft that they need soil stabilization

Following up this article..Possible uneven settlement of reactor 4

On 6/26/2012, Tepco published the latest pictures of Fukushima plants.

The series of photos included the picture of when they were improving soil on South-West side of reactor4 building.

It can be assumed that this is for the construction of the reactor cover to remove spent fuel, but it’s also suggesting the ground can not bear the weight of the cover building anymore.

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.
