Following up this article..SFP of reactor4 became cloudy

Tepco checked the inside of the SFP and container vessel of reactor 4 on 3/15/2012.

On 3/16/2012, Tepco released the video on their press conference.

The degree of clearness was only 1m because of the white substance. The camera went to 20m deep in the water.

In the container vessel, they found 2 pieces of debris on the bottom but there seemed to be nothing else. However, the white substance was observed here too.

It’s not known what the white thing is.

Radiation level, nuclide, temperature, none of those datas were announced.

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.
