Apr 4, 2011 | Fukushima Accident Updates

Not much has changed since yesterday with respect to the work going on at Fukushima. The transfer of water from turbine condensers to other tanks inside the four power plants continues. This would be a much faster operation if the installed pumps on each unit could be...

Mar 27, 2011 | Fukushima Accident Updates

As this web page has reported for many days, there is unquestionably fuel damage in Fukushima Units 1, 2 & 3. How much is purely speculative, at this point. Because of sporadic over-pressure conditions inside each of the three reactor vessels due to decay heat...

Mar 26, 2011 | Fukushima Accident Updates

Since yesterday, there have been two types of news to report; technical (systems recovery and operational status) and radiological (off-site contamination and exposed emergency worker status).  First, the technical…  TEPCO reports that they have freshwater...
