Sharply increasing hydrogen concentration in reactor2

Related to this article..Violent fluctuations of hydrogen concentration in reactor1

In reactor2, hydrogen concentration is picking up since 6/14/2012 as well. Until 6/17/2012 11:00, it’s increased almost as double as before it  picked up.

There are system A and system B to measure the hydrogen concentration, but it increased at both of the systems.

If hydrogen concentration goes over 4% (Oxygen 5%), there is the possibility of hydrogen explosion. Tepco is injecting nitrogen to control the hydrogen concentration.

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.
