Nikake northwest wind around 18 primary
6:
29 minutes on March 17 at 6:00
Around the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, the pressure pattern of wintry effect, is expected to wind blowing from the northwest toward the southeast side of the sea shore during the day until the 18th.
According to the agency, in the vicinity of nuclear power plants Fukushima Daiichi is entering the observation data after the earthquake, but continues to be unobservable and the wind strength and wind direction, south from nuclear power plants Fukushima Daiichi Yamada Nakoso in Iwaki City of more than 60 km away, the wind is blowing north-northwest at 6 am on a 17-meter. Also in the vicinity of nuclear power plants has been observed that the wind is blowing toward the southeast from the northwest side of the ocean landward.
The pressure pattern of wintry effect, is seen as wind blowing from northwest to southeast during the day through 18 days and then is expected to gradually turn into the wind from the south.
[4:25 p.m. ET Wednesday, 5:25 a.m. Thursday in Tokyo]A spent fuel pool at Japan's stricken Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant is dry, resulting in "extremely high" radiation levels, the head of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission said Wednesday.
"What we believe at this time is that there has been a hydrogen explosion in this unit due to an uncovering of the fuel in the fuel pool," Gregory Jaczko told a House energy and commerce subcommittee hearing. "We believe that secondary containment has been destroyed and there is no water in the spent fuel pool, and we believe that radiation levels are extremely high, which could possibly impact the ability to take corrective measures."

Regulatory activities of U.S. forces within 90 kilometers
4:16 am March 17
The U.S. Department of Defense, the U.S. Army for relief activities in the Great Kanto Earthquake that northeast 90 km radius of a region of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station has revealed a policy principle, the suspension of activities.
U.S. forces in affected areas around the nuclear aircraft carrier "Ronald Reagan", including the dispatch vessels to 15 vessels, Pentagon deputy spokesman Lappin, 16, "have problems from the power plant within 90 km radius in the region, decided to do normal activities the U.S. military, "he said. The regulation of these activities, while they avoid the exposure of soldiers, if necessary, could also mean that if you work in obtaining the license within 90 km from superiors, in that case against soldiers, trying to pre-dose of potassium iodide tablets to reduce symptoms of exposure. In addition, the deputy press secretary Lappin, although contaminated with radioactive material in low-level crew of some of the helicopter hit the rescue operation, the entire American military influence is not as out and regulate this activity will necessarily match explained that the precaution to make sure. A series of problems over the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, U.S. forces in response to requests from the Japanese government, in addition to two fire engines were sent so far in preparation for sending the local equipment such as pumps and hoses is that it is working well.

Speed up the restoration of a primary external power supply
3月17日 4時16分
March 17 16:04 min
Loss of cooling, which in deep water, in nuclear power plants Fukushima Daiichi is to revive an early feature cool the reactor, as it is necessary to recover the external power supply, TEPCO early even if in the morning of June 17, will begin to draw power plant transmission lines.
The primary Fukushima Daiichi, in addition to power outages caused by the earthquake, faulty power generator emergency in the tsunami, and 送Renaku electricity, such as losing the ability to cool the reactor in the No. 3 from No. 1, suffering from serious I. TEPCO is promoting measures such as the water into the reactor using a pump trucks, is limited in its ability to recover the situation is far from cooling.
Toukyoudenryoku For this reason, the capability to recover quickly cool the reactor, as it is necessary to recover the external power supply is getting ready to pull the transmission line from the premises through a near primary high voltage transmission lines .
Work, such as temporary power distribution board that connects power lines, was scheduled to start from 16th spot ahigh radiation dose could not be implemented. The primary Fukushima Daiichi, from the loss of cooling, the reactors we have 06 already, and leaking to the outside of radioactive material is damaged portion of the fuel, making the situation not waste any time . TEPCO, in order to reduce exposure, and to review procedures, has also decided to begin as early as 17th in the morning.
Aims to recover the primary cooling
4:01 am March 17 Japan time
Nuclear power plant Fukushima Daiichi has remained a serious, if a state can not cool a pool of spent fuel of Unit 4 and the No. 3, followed by this state, broken exposed to fuel, radioactive It may leak to the outside material. The task force, the government aims to recover the cooling function as soon as possible and make the ground water discharge to the pool, we decided to speed up the measures.
The Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, 16, white smoke rises like a rocket around 3, TEPCO state and can not keep a cool pool of Unit 3 spent fuel, the water evaporates I suspect you are. Also, the No. 4, 15, there was an explosion in a building containing a pool of spent fuel, seen as is a similar situation with the No. 3, Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency of the Ministry of Economy, the occurs when hydrogen is expected to hydrogen explosion. No. 4, especially with the exchange of nuclear equipment, because it contains all the fuel assemblies in the pool more than usual, a lot of heat, a problem of being easy to increase water temperature. Task force of government to continue to this state, broken exposed to the water and fuel, as sometimes it leaking to the external radioactive material mass, such as using water cannons of riot police, as early as we plan to discharge into the pool from 17 am Sun. Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in a serious condition persists, continues to release of radioactive material, and cooling is an urgent recovery as soon as possible.On the other hand, even the No. 5 and No. 6 was being validated when the earthquake occurred regularly in the state can not store the fuel pool cooling, the temperature continues to rise. Of these, at No. 5 that stores the fuel of 946 is 63 degrees rising 5 degrees from the previous day temperature in the 16th, also at No. 6 are stored in the fuel of 876, four from the previous day was raised at 60 degrees. TEPCO, the same situation could end up as the No. 3 and No. 4 and the subsequent rise in temperature continues, has cooling and recovery 急Gitai.
