TEPCO to install filtered vent at nuclear reactor

Tokyo Electric Power says it will install a filter-equipped emergency vent system to reduce levels of radioactivity released in the air in case of a meltdown at a nuclear power plant.


The process can reduce levels of radioactive iodine and cesium by a factor of up to 1,000.

U.S. Nuclear Regulators Divided on Costly Fukushima Rule

The filter requirement would be the most expensive imposed by U.S. nuclear regulators since Fukushima, at a cost of $16 million or more per reactor, according to the NRC staff's estimate. Industry officials say the cost of adding the filters could be more, depending on the layout of each plant.

"It is not an insubstantial investment that we are making," said Maria Korsnick, chief nuclear officer with Exelon Corp. (EXC) unit Constellation Energy, during Wednesday's hearing.

With U.S. nuclear operators already contending with competition from power plants running on low-priced natural gas, the added expense could be "another chip away at the viability of the nuclear industry overall," said Julien Dumoulin-Smith, a utility industry analyst with UBS.

Asbestos over WHO limit found at 17 spots in disaster areas
Asbestos levels in excess of the World Health Organization (WHO)'s safety limit were found in 17 locations at building dismantling sites in areas hit hard by the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake, it has been learned from government sources.

From fiscal 2008 to 2010, only four locations -- such as in Yamanashi and Aichi prefectures -- were found in the Ministry of the Environment (MOE)'s testing to be over the limit.

An expert said of the newly found locations, "It's only the tip of the iceberg. There are surely many building dismantling sites that have been overlooked. We have no proof that even levels under the WHO standards bring no adverse health effects, and a swift response to this asbestos problem is crucial."

The MOE and the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare (MHLW) have monitored asbestos levels at building dismantling sites and debris processing sites from June 2011 through December 2012. At 17 dismantling sites in Miyagi, Fukushima, Ibaraki and Tochigi prefectures, asbestos levels from 10.6 to 783.5 strands per liter of air were found. The WHO safety standards call for less than 10 strands per liter.

Rice grown in Miyagi contains more than double legal limit of radioactive cesium
The rice, which was grown on a farm in Kurihara last year, was found to contain around 240 becquerels per kilogram of radioactive cesium, over twice the legal limit of 100 becquerels per kilogram. Fuji TV reported that this is the first time rice grown outside Fukushima Prefecture has exceeded the legal limit.

TEPCO Fukushima rebuilding office has 1st meeting

Tokyo Electric Power Company, or TEPCO, has held its first executive meeting at its new headquarters in Fukushima Prefecture to discuss reconstruction after the 2011 nuclear disaster.

The meeting on Friday came one week after TEPCO launched the Fukushima Revitalization Headquarters in Naraha Town, about 20 kilometers south of the damaged Fukushima Daiichi plant. The office was set up to respond to criticism that the utility is slow to compensate and decontaminate after the disaster at the plant.

TEPCO Chairman Kazuhiko Shimokobe and President Naomi Hirose were among 30 executive and other officials at the meeting.

Cracks found in spent fuel rods at Hamaoka nuclear power plant

An investigation by Chubu into the status of spent fuel stored in the spent fuel pool from the Unit 1 reactor of the Hamaoka nuclear power plant found cracks and other deformations among the fuel rods.  The Unit 1 reactor is currently undergoing decommissioning work and the spent fuel was transferred to the Unit 5 spent fuel pool, and some of the damage is thought to have occurred during the transfer from one spent fuel pool to another.

Battle over Bechtel clean-up at Hanford escalating after police reports filed

More outrage is building over prominent employees at Hanford blowing the whistle about how Bechtel has rushed the project in order to make a quick buck.  Despite decades of cleanup efforts and billions of taxpayer dollars spent, only a tiny fraction of Hanford’s radioactivity has been safely contained, and the situation appears to be getting more polarized if not hostile.

On December 20th, 2012, a police report was filed related to a December 19th meeting at an office building where DOE employees were involved in a disagreement about how much money should be paid to Bechtel National for sodium reduction work at the vitrification plant at Hanford where Bechtel holds a $12.2 billion contract to build a facility to treat up to 56 million gallons of radioactive waste left from the past production of plutonium from the nation’s nuclear weapons program.

Lack of know-how, manpower for unrivaled vast-scale decontamination

The Environment Ministry disclosed Jan. 7 two cases of contractors failing to collect water used for decontamination in areas affected by the Fukushima nuclear crisis under a central government project.

While the ministry renewed its call on those contractors to step up oversight, they are not equipped with the adequate know-how or manpower to handle an unprecedented event that spewed a large volume of radioactive materials on a vast tract of land. It looks like a blanket solution is nowhere in sight.

PILGRIM EVENT REPORT: REACTOR PROTECTION ACTUATION (SCRAM) - RECIRCULATION PUMP TRIP

On Thursday, January 10, 2013 at 1534 hour [EST], with the reactor at 100% core thermal power, both recirculation pumps spuriously tripped and a manual reactor scram was inserted as required by station procedures. The cause of the recirculation pump trip is under investigation.

Following the reactor scram, all rods were verified to be fully inserted and the Primary Containment Isolation System Group II (Reactor Building) and Group VI (Reactor Water Cleanup System) actuations occurred as designed due to the expected reactor water level shrink associated with the scram signal. All other plant systems responded as designed.

we (in our Group) check some Places with a few different Geiger Counter
(Inspector, Ludlum, Radex and div. other)
and we check directly with calibrated Radioactive Material,
there is a difference of <> 20% but mostly similar!


The Radex give us a Amount every 26 Seconds
because there is no use in "Fluctuation",
a full Cycle need ca. 1,5min.!

You fail again as always and instead of happiness because of the
low Measurements i can see disgust, greed and hate,
shame on you "tiny Mistake"!

who instead of learning something nice and beautiful

The strategy is needed after the Obama Administration shut down work toward making Yucca Mountain, Nev., the nation's repository for used commercial nuclear fuel and high-level waste.

The new report says the nation should have a site picked by 2026, with the repository designed and licensed by 2042, and operational by 2048.
