On 8/5/2015, Tepco released the video of their SFP 3 (Spent Fuel Pool of Reactor 3) investigation.

It captures the pieces of debris covering the deformed fuel assemblies. Especially a significantly large one is found on the right bottom of the screen.

The exact size and weight are not reported but it reveals that there are still numbers of large pieces of debris remaining in the pool.

Le 5 août 2015, Tepco publie la vidéo de leur exploration de la SFP 3 (Piscine à combustibles usagés du réacteur 3).

Elle montre les gravas recouvrant les assemblages de combustibles déformés. On y voit en particulier, un gravas particulièrement gros en bas à droite de l’écran.
Sa taille exacte et son poids ne sont pas communiqués mais il révèle qu’il y a encore beaucoup de gros gravas dans la piscine.

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.
