Tepco to shield reactor1 pool coolant system against the damaged stack / Stopping cooling the pool for 11 days

 

Following up this article.. 1.9 mSv/h detected at 54 m above ground along the damaged stack [URL]

 

Tepco is going to install covers over the facilities to protect against the damaged stack. The stack is 120m tall and have the damages at 66m height from the ground. Even a bolt would cause a significant damage by falling to the neighboring facilities.

The coolant system of reactor1 spent fuel pool will be suspended for 11 days from 3/14/2014 due to the installation.

The stack has 8 damages and 5 parts are cut off, however Tepco cannot dismantle it. It is not known how to dismantle the stack either.

Downplay it in the beginning, and quietly add more information so nobody notices it. All for not letting the cattle escape. This is their strategy.

Tepco va protéger le système de refroidissement de la piscine du réacteur 1 contre la cheminée endommagée : 11 jours d’arrêt

Tepco va installer des protections  au-dessus des équipements pour les protéger de la cheminée endommagée. La cheminée fait 120 m de haut et est endommagée à 66 m du sol. Même un boulon pourrait provoquer des dégâts importants en tombant sur les équipements à proximité.
Le système de refroidissement de la piscine à combustibles usagés du réacteur 1 va être arrêté pendant 11 jours à partir du 14 mars 2014 pour monter ces protections.
La cheminée est endommagée en 8 endroits et elle est coupée en 5, Tepco ne peut néanmoins pas la démolir. On ne sait pas comment la démonter non plus.

Le minimiser au début et ajouter tranquillement de nouvelles information pour que personne ne le remarque. Tout pour que le troupeau ne s’échappe pas. C’est leur stratégie.

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.
