[Video] Reactor3 coolant water leaking out of the pipe to flow in the direction of the sea / Building floor rusted

 

Following up this article.. [Reactor3] 1st floor : 16℃, 2nd floor : 9℃ / The deeper you go, the warmer it gets at 4m from the primary vessel [URL]

 

On 5/15/2014, Tepco implemented the investigation with pan-tilt camera in reactor3 building.

As a result, they found one of the main steam pipes leaking water, which is assumed to be the reactor coolant water (video below).

Tepco describes the leakage amount as “about the thickness of 2 ~ 4 pencils”, but the floor is covered with the leaked water, and it’s completely rusted.

The leaked water was observed flowing to the east, which is the direction to the sea.

[Vidéo] Liquide de refroidissement du réacteur 3 fuyant du tuyau et s’écoulant vers la mer : sol du bâtiment rouillé

Le 15 mai 2014, Tepco a effectué une exploration de l’intérieur du bâtiment du réacteur 3 avec une caméra télécommandée.

Au final, ils ont découvert l’un des tuyaux principaux de refroidissement perdant son liquide, lequel est supposé être le liquide de refroidissement du réacteur (vidéo ci-dessous).
Tepco décrit l’importance de la fuite comme étant “d’un diamètre d’environ de l’épaisseur de 2 à 4 crayons” mais le sol est couvert par l’eau de la fuite et il est complètement rouillé.
L’eau de la fuite a été observée en train de s’écouler vers l’Est, c’est à dire en direction de la mer.

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.
