Fast-breeder nuclear reactor,Monju is expected to be re-started.
Current JP PM Kan decided to abandon because it’s way more risky than light-water reactor plant,such as Fukushima plant.
Monju uses natrium for its cooling system but it explodes when it leaks unlike water.
They invested 2.4 trillion yen into this crap but it has never worked properly.Since they dropped 3.5t of a part into the reactor 8/26/2010,it has been stopped.The reactor is highly likely to be damaged because of this accident but there is even no way to check it.
Therefore the attempt to re-start is almost insane.

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.
