[Photo]Tepco admitted Reactor2, 3 directly released radioactive material to the air by 3.15.11/100Sv/h in PCV

On 12/17/2015, Tepco reported that radioactive material was directly released to the air from Reactor 2 and 3 by 3/15/2011 with relevant photos.

From their latest analysis, PCV (Primary Containment Vessel) of both of Reactor 2 and 3 are assumed to have been damaged enough to release the radioactive material by the day.

In addition to their analysis, Tepco published the photos of Reactor 2 and 3, which were taken from 7 to 9 am of 3/15/2011 (See photos attached below). These photos capture white “steam” released from Reactor 2 and 3. Tepco concludes that the steam is highly likely to be directly released from the upper part of PCV 2 and 3.

In this PCV of Reactor 2, Tepco also announced that they detected 100 Sv/h from early in the morning of 3/15/2011. Their data shows it kept nearly 100 Sv/h until 3/16/2011. No further data is released.

[Photos] Tepco reconnaît que vers le 15 mars 2011 les réacteurs 2 et 3 ont relâché leur radioactivité (100Sv/h) directement dans l’atmosphère

 

Le 17 décembre 2015, Tepco a révélé que vers le 15 mars 2011 la radioactivité des réacteurs 2 et 3 est directement sortie dans l’atmosphère, avec des photos parlantes.

Selon leur dernière analyse, les PCV (Primary Containment Vessel = enceinte de confinement primaire) des deux réacteurs sont considérées avoir été suffisamment endommagées pour que leur radioactivité s’en échappe aussitôt.
En plus de leur analyse, Tepco a publié des photos des réacteurs 2 et 3 prises le 15 mars 2011 entre 7 et 9 heures du matin (photos ci-dessous). Ces photos ont saisi de la “vapeur” blanche sortant des réacteurs 2 et 3. Tepco en conclus que cette vapeur a certainement du sortir par le haut des PCV 2 et 3.
Concernant la PCV du réacteur 2, Tepco a aussi déclaré qu’ils avaient relevé 100 Sv/h le 15 mars 2011 très tôt le matin. Leurs données montrent que c’est resté autour de 100 Sv/h jusqu’au 16 mars 2011. Aucune autre donnée n’est communiquée.

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.
