6 injured in another Fukushima nuclear plant blast

*11 injured at Japanese news

What appears to be another hydrogen blast has occurred at a nuclear power plant in Fukushima. No damage to the reactor chamber has been reported, but 6 people at the plant have been injured.

The Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency says what it believes was a hydrogen blast occurred at 11:01 AM on Monday at the No.3 reactor of Tokyo Electric Power Company's Fukushima No.1 nuclear power plant. The agency says it has so far observed no abnormal rise in radiation around the compound of the plant....

Press Release (Mar 14,2011)
White smoke around the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station Unit 3 (2nd release)


At approximately 11:01am, an explosive sound followed by white smoke
occurred at the reactor building of the Unit 3. It was believed to be a
hydrogen explosion.

According to the parameter, it is estimated that the reactor containment
vessel remains intact. However, the status of the plant and the impact of
radioactive materials to the outside environment are presently under
investigation. (previously announced)

As of 12:00 am, 4 TEPCO employees and 2 workers of related companies have
sustained injuries (all of them are conscious) and ambulances are on
their way to care for them.

As of 11:44 am, the measured value of radiation dose near MP6 is 20μSv/h
and the radiation level remains stable.

TEPCO continues to take all measures to restore the safety and security
of the site and are monitoring the site's immediate surroundings.

Unit 2 nuclear fuel from water exposure
10:19 minutes January 14 at 3 twitter tweet (click on the site leaves the NHK)

The Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station Unit 2 lost all ability to cool the reactor water level in the reactor dropped rapidly, so at 5:00 pm on April 14 is that the water began to expose the nuclear fuel. TEPCO, as there is likely to lead to a hydrogen explosion occurred in the No. 1 and No. 3 unit, working in a hurry and put a water cooled reactors.

In Unit 2 of Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant is used to circulate the water using steam moving equipment, has continued to cool the reactor, the higher the ambient temperature, can no longer cool. Toukyoudenryoku so, as all of the cooling function is lost, so at 1:30 pm, under the laws of the country for "emergency" to inform the so-called "Article 15 Report," conducted. According to TEPCO, and then the water level falls rapidly to cool the reactor is that the fuel rods began to be exposed to too much water at 5:00 pm. TEPCO For this reason, and rush to work to cool the reactor into the water, as that may also occur in Unit II is hydrogen explosion likely occurred in the No. 3 and No. 1, a hole in the wall of the reactor building We consider measures such as hydrogen escape to the outside open.

The primary cooling water Fukushima Daiichi Unit 1

1 hour 46 minutes 3 twitter tweet on May 13 (NHK-click and leave the site)

The Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station Unit 1 of the TEPCO nuclear fuel is dissolved first in the country "meltdown," also occurs, followed by the explosion of air and buildings, including the release of radioactive material, TEPCO 12 extraordinary measures taken to cool in the night water reactors.

The Unit 1 nuclear power plant Fukushima Daiichi, after the automatic stop of the day 11, followed by state 冷Yasenai reactors, 12 are caused to fission uranium fuel "Cs" or "iodine" around radioactive materials that was detected in the nuclear fuel is dissolved first in the country "meltdown" occurred. Furthermore, because the pressure is too high into the reactor containment vessel, TEPCO, 2:00 pm from the 12th, was also released to the outside air containing radioactive material in the containment building of nuclear reactors hydrogen and oxygen combine to explode, the walls of the building collapsed. TEPCO among measures can not be secured easily in cool water and power outages, 12 at 8:00 pm, took the unusual step for a lot of chill water reactors. The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant is to prevent corruption and the reactor containment vessel, made a work filled with water to cool the containment using pump trucks and the SDF. The work of nuclear fuel that does not respond again, is that boric acid was placed to absorb the neutrons.

TEPCO of possible fuel rod failure
32 min at 21 May 14 at 3 twitter tweet (click on the site leaves the NHK)

TEPCO, 14 night, a press conference in Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station Unit 2, a temporary fuel rods are all exposed to the falling water level in the reactor, said it might be some corrupted with the.

According to that, the Unit 2 reactor water level began to fall from around 14 noon, and decreased ability to cool the reactors. Then, at around 17:05 pm, then on the tip down to the level of the reactor fuel rods is that the state had not measured levels. Therefore, TEPCO will pump water for injection, temporary, and that stuck out of fuel at the pump. TEPCO "The whole of the fuel rods in a nuclear reactor in the meantime, a temporary may have been exposed," and added, "may have damaged fuel rods so that the radiation was detected around may, "I said. TEPCO, around 8:00 pm but for the resumption of the injection of water into the reactor, at the press conference, "until it raised the water level is actually not yet," I said.
