SimplyInfo.org’s Fukushima Corium Research Experiment Results
In our research we have tried to find ways to help explain some of the behaviors seen in meltdown accidents. A picture can be better than just explaining it. A full on experiment can be even better. We have been investigating the processes of the melted fuel escaping the reactor vessel and how it behaves. Below the reactor vessel is a round concrete pedestal that helps hold up the reactor vessel. This round structure has a … Read entire article »

TEPCO Worried About Vent Tower Stability, 25 Seivert Radiation Found At Base
TEPCO had been inspecting the unit 1/2 vent tower at a distance after damage to the upper structural system was found a few months ago. This had involved using telephoto camera lenses to view portions of the tower. This tower has been roped off since August 2011 when extremely high radiation was found near the tower. Now TEPCO has sent workers to take radiation readings around the base of the tower again. They found 25 seiverts … Read entire article »

What Is Going On At Fukushima Daiichi Right Now
TEPCO tends to bury bits of information among obscure sources while pushing their distraction of the day at the public. These are some of the things of note this week that have changed at the plant. Unit 2 Pressure Drop Unit 2 has continued to see containment pressure drop. TEPCO resolved the initial drop in pressure by closing a valve. The pressure slightly recovered then began to drop again this week. It has slowly dropped each day this week and is now down to 4.70 kPa g. TEPCO makes no explanation for the ongoing loss of pressure in containment at unit 2. Readings previous to this change had been in the 15 kPa g range for months.

New Groundwater Contamination At Daiichi, Problem Out Of Control
A new spot of contaminated water was found Monday at Fukushima Daiichi. What makes this one a bit different is this high beta radiation was not found near a tank. It was found in a groundwater testing well. Earlier leaks that caused great concern and for the NRA to issue a nuclear disaster rating were detected in the surface water and top of soil near the leaking tanks. These were as high as 2200 mSv/h (beta). … Read entire article »

Tank Leak At Daiichi; More Failures To Come, Direct Route To The Sea
TEPCO reported a leaking tank yesterday that initially sounded like nothing new. They have had minor leaks in these tanks and others before. This tank leak is larger, 300 of the 1000 tons from the tank has leaked. The water leaking out is highly contaminated with readings as high as 96 mSv/h of just beta radiation, this doesn’t include any gamma readings. The water itself read 80 million bq/liter. TEPCO now reports that it was the gasket of the bolt together tank that failed. There have been other instances of these gaskets leaking but in smaller amounts. TEPCO claims that workers check these tanks for leaks twice a day. The used tanks, about 300 of them, have an estimated 5 year life span for the gaskets and bolts.

NRA To Add Outside Experts At Fukushima As Disaster Spirals Further Out Of Control
NRA announced an increased role at Fukushima Daiichi. “The authority said that it will set up a group of geologists to collect data to gauge the extent of the diffusion of radiation in the water and soil while continuing to leave planning and implementation of appropriate counter measures to the plant’s operator,” The chairman of the NRA earlier confirmed the idea that the NRA would be doing more: ““It is simply too big for one company to handle,” Mr. Tanaka said last Wednesday, and suggested government’s intervention.” A TEPCO representative made this statement: “We are very grateful for the help. We will show the whole picture to the public as soon as possible by working together with them,” The article went on to advocate for ignoring decommissioning of the reactors in order to focus on the … Read entire article »

TEPCO Proves Again, They Can’t Be Trusted To Operate A Nuclear Reactor
Workers at Fukushima Daiichi lost cooling to unit 6 for 2 hours today. They were performing a test for an emergency diesel generator when they turned off a power panel. This caused the reactor to lose cooling for 2 hours. This is a highly abnormal situation where they lost both power sources resulting in a loss of cooling for such an extended period of time. The long time frame indicates there may have been equipment damage TEPCO is not disclosing. Unit 6 was in shut down when the 2011 earthquake and tsunami hit. It did not suffer a meltdown and still has a full load of fuel in the reactor from 2011. Had the reactor lost cooling for 2 hours under other circumstances such as operation or a recent shutdown it … Read entire article »

Black Stuff Found Around Eastern Japan May Be Fukushima Nuclear Fuel
We have reported extensively on the highly radioactive “black stuff” being found around eastern Japan, as far away as Tokyo. Citizens initially found the substance, usually concentrated in gutters and low spots. Some superficial analysis had been done on the substance, again by citizens. The government has refused to acknowledge the issue or do any publicly acknowledged testing of the substance. Marco Kalofan, an environmental engineer in the US was able to obtain a sample for detailed analysis. What was found was quite unusual. The substance isn’t a sand but an aggregate of radioactive substances, metals and rare earth materials. The materials for some reason clumped together into an aggregate rather than dispersing as tiny particles. What the detailed analysis showed was that the material may have come from inside failed fuel … Read entire article »

Examples In Leadership: Masao Yoshida
Written by fukuleaks.org/web member Peter Melzer, this article originally appeared on his blog. 山は動かない [武田 信玄]。 Last Tuesday, Jul. 9, 2013, Masao Yoshida passed away. He was 58. He had esophageal cancer. Until his illness forced him to relinquish his post late in 2011, Masao Yoshida was superintendent of Tokyo Electric Power Company’s (TEPCO)Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Station on Japan’s northeast coast less than 100 miles north of Tokyo. Yoshida led the power station through the most severe nuclear reactor crisis since the Chernobyl disaster of 1986. Four of six reactors lost all power as a result of the Great Tōhoku Earthquake and Tsunami on Mar. 11, 2011; three were operating. The other was shutdown for inspection, and the fuel had been moved to an adjacent storage pool. Despite heroic efforts of Yoshida and his crew, the three operating … Read entire article »

Update On Strontium 90 Leaks At Fukushima Daiichi
TEPCO released more information about the strontium 90 leak at a press conference today. They have known about the strontium 90 in the groundwater near the turbine buildings since at least May 2013 but didn’t tell anyone including the NRA til now. The levels of strontium 90 in the harbor have been known and elevated consistently since 2011. Levels found in the areas around the turbine buildings and canals were also drastically higher in certain types of radiation near unit 1. Tritium, ruthenium and strontium were all higher with varied increases over time from 2012 to now. TEPCO admitted in statements buried in other admissions that the contaminated water in the tunnels is a major concern. They intend to empty and concrete these tunnels and also to dump concrete grout into … Read entire article »

Greenpeace & Shareholders To Urge TEPCO To Sue GE Over Fukushima Failures
Greenpeace and TEPCO shareholders are poised to urge TEPCO to investigate the Fukushima disaster further and to sue GE, Toshiba & Hitachi for their part in the design failures of the reactors at Fukushima Daiichi. The design flaws of the GE Mark 1 have been known for decades. The three design companies played a role in how the reactors were to be built and the placement of critical equipment like emergency generators. Greenpeace released this message today via email: “Our campaign has forced TEPCO, operator of the plant, to say it will look more carefully at the causes of the disaster and the resulting damages, and the role the reactors from GE, Hitachi and Toshiba may have played. TEPCO said this because Greenpeace Japan, together with a partner shareholder group, are pushing a … Read entire article »

TEPCO Shows Off Work To Press, Still Doesn’t Know Where Melted Fuel Is
TEPCO did another event for the selected press to come see certain parts of Fukushima Daiichi. The tour appears to have focused on the failed ponds, the fuel removal building over unit 4 and the potential change to the cooling systems. The press was not allowed to freely inspect the plant. TEPCO told the press they plan to use the condensate storage tanks, seaside tanks used as part of the original cooling systems. They will be used in some form as part of the upgraded reactor cooling loops. They did not elaborate clearly if these tanks would receive treated water from the radiation removal systems or if the water pumped out of the reactor buildings would go straight to these storage tanks to be reused. If it is reused the radiation … Read entire article »

UN Human Rights Report On Fukushima Finds Considerable Problems
The UN Human Rights Council report issued this month in an advanced edition spells out many issues that exist after the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster. While most focus on the aftermath of the March 2011 nuclear events, some aspects apply to those impacted by just the quake and tsunami. This statement towards the end sums up the disconnect and problems currently going on: “The Special Rapporteur urges the government to adopt implementing measures to the Victims Protection Law and provide funding for relocation, housing, employment, education and other essential support needed by those who chose to evacuate, stay or return to any area where radiation exceeds 1mSv/year. These measures should include relief packages reflecting the cost of rebuilding lives.” Some notable aspects of the report are the breadth of issues it addresses.

Fukushima Daiichi To Get Frozen Wall To Contain Reactors
The Japanese government is poised to order TEPCO to implement a plan to install an underground frozen wall system around the reactors at Fukushima Daiichi. A professor emeritus of Kyoto University suggested the idea and the government is urging TEPCO to adopt it. This seems to be a change in tactic where the government is ordering TEPCO to take a specific action. Contractor Kajima is likely to do the work with the wall taking up to 2 years to put in place. This plan could be installed in an easier manner than the underground concrete wall. It would also be able to stay frozen even through prolonged power outages. One advantage the wall system would have is that it wouldn’t be prone to cracking or voids as concrete would. This could … Read entire article »

TEPCO Finishes Defueling Building On Unit 4, Plans To Remove Fuel In June
TEPCO has announced the completion of the frame for the unit 4 defueling building. The handout shows at least some of the outer steel skin is also installed. TEPCO also made the unusual statement that they would begin removing fuel next month. That may be premature as the overhead cranes still need to be installed and the process for fuel removal tested. Concerns about the defueling building and the spent fuel pool’s ability to bear the weight of the fuel casks remains a worry that TEPCO has yet to publicly address.

TEPCO To Remove Cover On Unit 1 This Fall
TEPCO will remove the cover on unit 1 at Fukushima Daiichi this fall. The cover was hastily put over the unit in 2011 in an attempt to lower releases. TEPCO did not say why this work has suddenly been jumped ahead of other work. Most of the roadmap plans TEPCO has announced put unit 1 far down the list of priorities. To remove the spent fuel TEPCO will need to remove the cover, something they say will raise radiation levels. They will also need to remove the remains of the roof and the two cranes to do the work. It was not mentioned how much the radiation levels would rise during this work.

Current Challenges & Progress At Fukushima Daiichi
TEPCO’s testing of the ALPS system intended to remove all contamination except tritium continues but now it is not expected to be out of the testing phase until fall 2013 at the earliest. TEPCO also admitted that the system is not completely removing contaminants as expected and the radiation levels around the equipment was rising. Right now neither issue was halting work but could become a problem over time if not resolved. This throws a huge problem into the contaminated water problems. TEPCO currently has no plan do deal with this issue. They have begun building more tanks on site and still hope to use the groundwater bypass system but that has not been approved or fully implemented.

Sisyphus With A Paper Cup; TEPCO’s Enormous Water Problem
The contaminated water problems at Fukushima Daiichi have been plaguing the plant since day one. In recent months the problems have once again shown themselves to be too much for TEPCO to deal with while the plant continues to contaminate the environment. TEPCO stated that they were again, out of space only to find space after it became apparent the government would not allow them to dump contaminated water into the Pacific Ocean. This is something TEPCO has asked to do repeatedly since 2011 when they dumped contaminated water into the Pacific on top of what has been leaking. Contamination and contaminated water from the failed reactors is still making its way out of the plant a number of ways, all with long term major implications for the environment and public … Read entire article »

Rats Vs. TEPCO, The Rats Are Winning
TEPCO’s new arch nemesis, the influx of rats that have taken up residence at the plant, are causing more problems. Two rats were found dead inside the electrical equipment being used to power unit 2′s spent fuel pool cooling system. This time it didn’t knock out power to the system but did require the cooling system be shut down for most of a day to work on the electrical box. TEPCO cleaned out the box and applied some sort of putty or foam around the entry point of the wires. Unless this material has steel wool or something similar in it to deter rats or mice from chewing, it may not be an effective solution.
