[/quote] It seams like your IQ and the Coria share this similarities! [/quote] Really? You know, they are right! The corium blob is far from the surface now. Even reactor 4 had a corium blob fissing away. Molten fuel rod crap dripping and collecting at the bottom. Started the moment the water pool went dry! [/quote] The Pools never went Dry, please stay realistic! You can even see the Rods of Nr. 4 Sfp! Believe in Physics when you don't trust the so called Reality! [/quote] The pool did go dry, I saw the pics from Tepco. Which is why they were trying to dump water in there from a tall crane designed to pump water/concrete for construction purposes. The rods can still be visible while they are dripping fuel/rod material. If the rods are knocked out of place and piled together chaotically, they can create enough heat to boil off the water in days. In fact, cooling pools need to be cooled. Which it was not for the longest time after the disaster. Physics, that's another story. Every great Physicist knows real life is the say all, not the other way around. Since there was substantial [b]neutron bursts[/b] from reactor 4 in the past during the disaster, we can be sure there was a run away fission event inside. WHich WILL lead to a corium blob at the lowest level. [/quote] I seem to remember something like that. :the glow: [/quote]
Original Message
OKUMA, Fukushima Prefecture--A canopy has been completed over a heavily damaged reactor building at the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant in preparation for removing the spent nuclear fuel inside.
Tokyo Electric Power Co. allowed reporters to tour part of the facility, which experienced reactor meltdowns after the 2011 earthquake and tsunami disaster, on June 11.
The upper part of the No. 4 reactor building was blown off in a hydrogen explosion. The canopy covering it will prevent further leakage of radioactive substances when workers remove spent nuclear fuel from the building.
The No. 4 reactor had been shut down for regular maintenance when the tsunami struck, but its storage pool contains 1,533 spent fuel rod bundles that still generate large amounts of heat.
TEPCO has said it will equip the canopy with a hoist to remove spent nuclear fuel from the pool as part of the decommissioning process at the crippled plant.
