Tepco’s decontamination robot for reactor2 works with “a wiping mop” and “a vacuum cleaner”

 

 

 

The newly introduced robot to decontaminate reactor2 works with a paper napkin-looking mop and a vacuum cleaner, from Tepco’s press release.

 

Tepco is trying to reduce the contamination level in reactor2 building. From 6/9/2014, they expect to clean the wall (1.8 ~ 5m height) by the robot.

The robot is approx 3m long and 2.3m tall. It reaches 5m height by stretching the arm and weighs nearly 1 t.

However “the decontamination device” is only the mop and vacuum cleaner. The mop looks like a daily paper napkin mop. These look desperate for the scale of contamination but unfortunately it’s from Tepco’s own data from their own website, which is real.

Le robot de décontamination de Tepco pour le réacteur 2 fonctionne avec une “serpillère” et un “aspirateur”

 



Selon le communiqué de presse de Tepco, Le robot récemment présenté devant décontaminer le réacteur 2 fonctionne avec un balai-serpillère et un aspirateur.

Tepco essaye de faire baisser le niveau de la radioactivité dans le bâtiment du réacteur 2. Ils prévoient commencer le nettpyage des murs (de 1,80 à 5 m de haut) avec ce robot à partir du 9 juin 2014.
Ce robot fait environ 3 m de long et 2,30 m de haut. Il peut atteindre les 5 m en hauteur en étendant son bras et il pèse près d’une tonne.
Néanmoins, “l’appareillage de décontamination” se résume au balais-serpillère et à l’aspirateur. Le balai-éponge ressemble à classique balai à serpillère. Ça semble dérisoire face à l’étendue de la contamination mais malheureusement c’est une information de Tepco issue de leur propre site, donc c’est vrai.

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.
