Tepco shoots gunite on reactor4 building wall/ “Reinforcing bars are exposed to outside to deteriorate.”

On 8/28/2013, Tepco announced they have been shooting gunite (cement) on the wall of reactor4 building since this June.

According to Tepco, reactor4 building has the pillars, beams and walls exposed to the outside without the concrete surface.

In order to prevent the deterioration, they need to spray the cement over the exposed reinforcing bars.

Tepco projette de la gunite sur les murs du réacteur 4 : “Les barres de renforcement sont exposées aux intempéries et s’abiment.”

 

Tepco annonce ce 28 août 2013 que depuis juin ils ont projeté de la gunite (ciment) sur les murs du bâtiment du réacteur 4.

Selon Tepco, les piliers, poutres et murs du bâtiment du réacteur 4 sont exposés aux intempéries sans leur protection de béton.
Ils doivent projeter du ciment sur les barres de renforcement exposées pour les protéger des détériorations.

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.
