Tepco to start removing the largest debris from Reactor 3 pool / Worker “The most dangerous process”

Following up this article.. Fuel Handling Machine potentially opening the door of SFP3 to the reactor vessel [URL]

 

On 7/25/2015, the former Fukushima worker “Happy11311” posted on Twitter that Tepco is going to start removing the largest debris from SFP 3 (Spent Fuel Pool of Reactor 3) on 2nd August. “Joint communications” published the news followed by other mass media but Tepco has made no official announcement on their website.

Joint communications reported that the debris to be removed weighs 20 t, but “Happy11311” commented on Twitter that it is the 35 t of fuel handling machine. He added this is one of the most risky processes in decommissioning of Fukushima plant as fuel removal from SFP 4 (Spent Fuel Pool of Reactor 4).

Tepco va commencer le retrait des plus gros gravas de la piscine du réacteur 3 / Un travailleur : “Le travail le plus dangereux”

Le 25 juillet 2015, l’ancien travailleur de Fukushima “Happy11311” a publié sur Twitter que Tepco va commencer le retrait des gravas les plus gros de la SFP 3 (Piscine à combustibles usagés du réacteur 3) le 2 août . “Joint communications” a publié la nouvelle ainsi que d’autres grands médias mais Tepco n’en fait aucune annonce officielle sur son site web.

Joint communications déclare que ces gravas pèsent dans les 20 t mais “Happy11311” dit sur Twitter que c’est 35 t pour la grue de manipulation des combustibles. Il ajoute que ceci constitue une des tâches les plus risquées de tout le démantèlement de la centrale de Fukushima comme l’a été le retrait des combustibles de la SFP 4 (piscine à combustibles usagés du réacteur 4).

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.
