Thermography shows 50℃ on operation floor of “steaming” reactor3

Following up this article..Tepco “Steaming area of reactor3 is 18~25℃ by thermography on 7/20/2013″ [URL]

From the thermography picture published on 7/22/2013, some parts are nearly 50℃ on the operation floor of reactor3.

It was surveyed at 15m above the floor.

Tepco comments it is due to the sunshine, but didn’t explain why they didn’t conduct the thermography survey at night.

They surveyed from 12:39 to 14:40 of 7/20/2013. The atmospheric temperature was 21.4℃.

Une thermographie montre 50 ℃ à l’étage opérationnel du réacteur “à vapeur” n°3

 

Article lié :  Tepco : “la zone du panache de vapeur du réacteur 3 est entre 18 et 25 ℃ d’après une thermographie du 20 juillet 2013″

Dans les résultats de ma thermographie publiés le 22 juillet 2013, certains endroits atteignent les 50 ℃ à l’étage opérationnel  du réacteur 3.

Les mesures ont été prises à 15 m au-dessus du sol de l’étage.
Tepco déclare que c’est à cause du soleil mais n’explique pas pourquoi ils n’en ont pas fait une de nuit.
Ils ont fait les mesures entre 12:39 et 14:40 le 20 juillet 2013. La température ambiante était de 21,4 ℃.

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.
