[ALPS stopped] Tepco "A rubber pad for ladder was stuck in the drain of a tank"

Following up this article.. Multiple nuclide removing system ALPS stopped again 22 hours after test operation restarted [URL]

 

According to Tepco, they found one of the 6 rubber pads detached from the inside of a tank. They assume it was stuck in the drain to have caused the trouble.

The rubber pad was for a ladder to step into the tank. The cause of detachment is not verified.

Currently Tepco is investigating the other tank of the stopped multiple nuclide removing system ALPS as well.

Selon Tepco, ils ont retrouvé un des 6 patins de caoutchouc détaché à l’intérieur d’un réservoir. Ils supposent qu’il était plaqué sur l’évacuation et que c’est ce qui a provoqué la panne.
Ces patins de caoutchouc sont usuellement sur les marches de l’échelle qui permet de descendre dans le réservoir. La raison de son décollement n’est pas établie.
Actuellement, Tepco inspecte aussi l’autre réservoir du système de filtrage multi-nucléides ALPS à l’arrêt.

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.
