Breaking news : SPF cooling system got stopped at reactor 2,3,6,and 1,3 of daini

SFP cooling system of reactor 2,3,6 and 1 and 3 of Daini were stopped because of the trouble of power exchanging facility in Iwaki Fukushima.
Along with the cooling system of SFP, cesium absorbing system, nitrogen injecting system for reactor 1,2,3, and gas purifying system of reactor 2 were stopped too.
The hydrogen gas level is still high in reactor1~3. Stopping injection on nitrogen gas may cause another hydrogen explosion.

使用済み燃料プール冷却停止 福島第一・第二原発
東京電力は17日、福島第一、第二原子力発電所の原子炉への窒素注入や使用済み燃料プールの冷却設備に使う機器が停止したと発表した。福島県いわき市にある送受電設備に不具合が起きて、周辺の広い地域で電圧が低下したことが原因としている。プールの冷却設備などは順次復旧しているという。

午後4時半時点で止まった機器は、福島第一原発の施設のうち、セシウム吸着装置(キュリオン)、1~3号機の原子炉への窒素ガス注入設備(約30分後に再開)、2号機原子炉格納容器内の気体を浄化するガス管理システム、2、3、6号機の使用済み燃料プール冷却設備など。福島第二原発では、1、3号機の使用済み燃料プール冷却設備が止まった。

原子炉への注水や放射線量を測っているモニタリングポストについては、運転を続けているという。

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.
