Decontamination continues to significantly reduce radiation levels inside the F. Daiichi exclusion zone. Six locations where “experimental” decontamination has occurred were the focus of a new monitoring survey. Communities where estimated annual exposures were...June 9, 2014
1034 fuel bundles have been removed from unit #4 storage pool (SFP). There have been a total of 47 transfer cask operations. This is more than 67% of the 1533 bundles that were in the SFP when the process began in November. 1012 of the transferred bundles were used...June 5, 2014
Tepco has found a leakage point out of unit #1 primary containment (PCV). The general location of the leak was discovered in November by a robotic boat floating on the water in the suppression pool (torus) basement. The specific location is from a “flexible joint” in...June 2, 2014
Tepco reports that 968 spent fuel bundles have been removed from the unit #4 pool. 946 of the 1,331 irradiated (used) fuel bundles have been transferred; roughly 71%. There have been 44 instances of transfer cask usage....May 29, 2014
A leak has been discovered coming from F. Daiichi unit #1 primary containment (PCV). The location has been identified by robotic inspection inside the donut-shaped suppression chamber (torus) room. The outflow is coming from a pipe attached to a “metal bellows joint”...May 26, 2014
Tepco has moved 924 bundles out of the unit #4 spent fuel pool. This accounts for 60% of the 1533 fuel bundles originally in the pool. http://www.tepco.co.jp/en/decommision/index-e.html The amount of money paid out to Fukushima evacuees now totals more than $38.4...May 12, 2014
The health impact of the Fukushima accident is impaired social and mental well-being. So says the most recent Fukushima report from the United Nations Scientific Committee on Atomic Radiation. The report is summarized by Mark Flanagan of America’s Nuclear Energy...May 22, 2014
The release of “clean” F. Daiichi groundwater has begun. On Wednesday, May 21st, Tepco discharged 561 tons of stored, fully analyzed groundwater to the Pacific Ocean. The radioactivity levels were below the ridiculously low self-imposed limits set by Tepco. All...May 19, 2014
As of May 19th, 880 fuel bundles have been safely transferred out of the unit #4 storage pool. This marks a 57.4% completion point with the project. http://www.tepco.co.jp/en/decommision/index-e.html A Health Ministry group wants a lifelong analysis of all Fukushima...This site requires a lot of work.
