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.

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 a high 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.

[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."

U.S. breaks from Japan, expands evacuation zone near stricken reactors


Washington (CNN) -- The United States dramatically expanded its evacuation warnings near the troubled Japanese nuclear reactors Wednesday, telling Americans to get at least 50 miles away.

The earlier recommendation from both the U.S. and Japanese governments was to stay 12 miles away or to take shelter indoors if evacuation was not possible within an 18-mile radius.

The U.S. change came Wednesday afternoon in Washington but in the middle of the night in Tokyo. It was the first time since the March 11 earthquake and tsunami in Japan triggered the nuclear crisis that the United States and Japanese governments have differed on advising what their citizens should do.

Before Wednesday, the United States had urged American citizens in Japan to follow the recommendations of the Japanese government.

The new U.S. recommendation "suggests that the advice the Japanese government is giving based on the information it has is different than the advice we'd be giving if this incident happened in the United States," White House spokesman Jay Carney told reporters in Washington.

"Their standards are different from ours based on how far you should evacuate," he said, calling the situation in Japan "very fluid."

State Department spokesman Mark Toner echoed Carney, saying that the United States has confidence in Japanese authorities but wanted to put out the new information about the crisis based on the evaluation of U.S. experts and what they would propose in a similar crisis inside the United States.

"This is not any kind of judgment on what the Japanese authorities are telling their public," Toner said at a mid-afternoon briefing at the State Department. "This is based on what we would advise American citizens here to do in a similar situation. So we are compelled based on that estimate, based on that appraisal, to advise American citizens in Japan to do the same. '

The decision on widening the exclusion area lagged behind the U.S. military, which had kept military personnel from operating within 50 miles of the damaged nuclear plant "days ago," according to Pentagon spokesman Col. Dave Lapan. State Department officials could not explain why the military was concerned about U.S. military operating in the area but the State Department did not feel a need to warn American citizens until early Thursday in Japan.

Cooling machine to work with the No. 3 No. 4

9:41 March 17

Nuclear power plant first Fukushima, if state can not cooling pool storage of spent fuel of Unit 4 and the No. 3, followed by this state, because there is a leak outside the radioactive material Self-Defense Forces and police, at the request of the government's headquarters, in a hurry to do to prepare for discharge from water cannons on the ground and from helicopters in the sky.

Of these, near the Unit 3 nuclear power plant first Fukushima, rises like a white smoke, state and can not cool a pool to store spent fuel, they believed that the evaporation of water Masu. Also, No. 4, as well as generated a series of fires during the 16 days from 15 days, and found that the rising temperature of the pool for storage was put nuclear fuel, this condition is both No. 4 and the No. 3 And if this continues, fuel is melted and is that likely to occur or hydrogen. Therefore, the government task force has been asked to work on cooling the SDF and police. Among them, the SDF for the dropping water from helicopters into the No. 3 was abandoned in the 16th, now measure the radiation dose over the "monitoring" the GSDF to UH60 helicopter left about 20 km from the primary TEPCO experts put the bases of the SDF mission was established or where is that headed to the site. The Ground Self-Defense 7.5 vessel equipped with tons of water can be dropped and we headed to the site CH47 aircraft already two helicopters, the SDF is based on local weather conditions and the radiation dose, whether to carry out bombing to conclusively determine that. In addition, the new Unit 3, decided to do from the ground water discharge, we have 11 units of fire trucks headed to the local garrison of the pressure of the SDF from the country. Meanwhile, No. 4, which was to be cool in the pool water into the No. 4 from the ground using special police water cannons can discharge water at a pressure of a powerful "high-pressure water cannons "I was dispatched to tell the police holding riot. For Unit 4, has been considering putting in a pool of water from the air using a helicopter, how to put water by water cannons on the side walls of the building, is believed to have considered more effective . The riot police, wearing protective clothing borrowed from the SDF is that it took a hit Ue work in a safe distance while measuring the radiation dose. The SDF and the police as soon as ready, we can begin to discharge.

"In the afternoon some external power recovery"
10:30 on May 17, 3 twitter tweet (NHK leaves the site and click)

Loss of cooling, the nuclear power plant Fukushima Daiichi has fallen into a serious situation, in order to restore the function to cool the reactor, they went to work pulling power lines to power plants TEPCO Monday afternoon I want to restore some of the external power supply as well.

It is clear at a news conference for Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency Ministry of Economy. The primary Fukushima Daiichi, in addition to power outages caused by the earthquake, and 送Renaku electricity is faulty generator emergency in the tsunami, such as losing the ability to cool the reactor in the No. 3 from No. 1, not in deep water Masu. 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. As a cool feature and restore the reactor Therefore, TEPCO, they do work on site to pull from the power lines high voltage transmission lines pass near the nuclear power plant, an external power restored on Tuesday afternoon some 17 I want to. And we aim to recover the original cooling system using sea water to cool reactors. However, because the pump has worn the sea by the tsunami, in that it requires repair, first, to consider is that by connecting the pump to move the temporary system.

Nuclear power plant first Fukushima, if state can not cooling pool storage of spent fuel of Unit 4 and the No. 3, because there is a leak outside the radioactive material to remain still, the government headquarters are urged to do cool SDF and police, 17 am Three of the Unit made a helicopter dropping water over the SDF. As early as around noon is also expected to discharge high-pressure water cannons from the ground by riot police.

In Unit 3 of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, the state and can not keep a cool pool of spent fuel has been found that the evaporation of water. The No. 4 well encountered a series of fires until the 16th, and found that the rising temperature of the pool for storage was put nuclear fuel, if you follow this condition is both No. 4 and the No. 3, is that there is a leak of radioactive material outside the fuel melts. The government's task force for this purpose, was asked to work on cooling the SDF and police. Will be working towards the cooling is done in favor of large buildings damaged Unit 3, the SDF ground troops in the first team for the helicopter to drop water from helicopters we headed to the UH60 helicopter, measure radiation dose over the "monitoring" after conducting a CH47 began before 10 am with a helicopter dropping water. 7.5 per unit is equipped with two helicopters that can drop tons of water containers, 17 in the morning from the sea to the nearby sea water Kumi上Ge made a drop to No. 3 on four occasions together. Ministry of Defense, whether to work by helicopter water bombing will continue looking at trying to judge the situation. Meanwhile, the Unit 3 was scheduled to work in Unit 4 cooling, the first held by riot police, "high pressure water cannons," as early as around noon due to drainage work is also supposed to begin are gearing up in riot. Ue riot at a safe distance while taking a measured dose wearing protective clothing borrowed from the SDF is that working in cooperation with the fire truck hit the SDF. For Unit 4 will be to study how to do it again or drainage work.
