Tepco released photos of Reactor 1 / Fuel handling machine barely hung just above SFP

Tepco’s photos showed the reality of how Spent Fuel Pool remains in Reactor 1.

 

On 12/19/2014, Tepco released the photos of the inside of the upper part of Reactor 1. In order to remove the cover from Reactor 1, Tepco has been partially opening the building cover and investigating inside of the cover and the building. Those photos were taken from 11/21 to 12/3/2014.

 

As far as Fukushima Diary researches, this is the first time for Tepco to release the photos of the upper part of Reactor 1.

Those 16 photos revealed the entirely crippled building of Reactor 1.

 

From the photos and Tepco’s report, blasted roof of the building is scattered around the operating floor.

Overhead traveling crane lies over the fuel handling machine. The supporting fuel handling machine is bent and barely hung right above the spent fuel pool (See photo below).

Tepco announced none of the parts of fuel handling system dropped into the pool, however only one photo was released.

Additionally, even in the only published photo, a few pieces of debris are sticking out of the pool.

Other photos are also attached below.

Tepco publie des photos du réacteur 1 : la machine à manipuler les combustibles pendue juste au-dessus de la SFP

 

↑ La grue de déplacement des combustibles repose au-dessus de la machine de manipulation. La machine est quasiment pendue au-dessus de la piscine à combustibles usagés du réacteur 1.

Le 19 décembre 2014, Tepco publie des photos de l’intérieur de la partie supérieure du réacteur 1.
Ces photos de Tepco montrent l’état réel de ce qui reste de la piscine à combustibles usagés du réacteur 1.

Tepco a partiellement ouvert le toit du bâtiment et exploré l’intérieur de la couverture et du bâtiment pour en retirer le toit. Ces photos ont été prises entre le 21 novembre et le 3 décembre 2014.

De ce que le Fukushima Diary a pu chercher, c’est la première fois que Tepco publie des photos de la partie supérieure du réacteur 1.
Ces 16 photos montrent l’état de dévastation de tout le réacteur 1.

D’après ces photos et le rapport de Tepco, le toit explosé du bâtiment s’est répandu sur tout l’étage des opérations.
La grue suspendue de déplacement des assemblages repose sur la machine de saisie des assemblages. La machine qui tient celle de saisie des assemblages est tordue et quasiment pendue au-dessus de la piscine (photos ci-après).

Tepco déclare qu’aucun élément ou morceau d’élément du système de manipulation des combustibles n’est tombé dans la piscine, néanmoins ils n’en donnent qu’une seule photo.
De plus, même sur cette seule photo, il y a quelques morceaux de gravas sur et autour de la piscine.
D’autres photos sont présentées ci-après.

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.
