Cooling system failure at Fukushima nuclear plant- twice this month now

[link to www.japantoday.com]

Although the breakdown is not thought to be immediately dangerous, it served as a reminder of the precarious state of the Fukushima plant, more than two years after it was crippled by the giant tsunami of March 2011.

Last month, a wide power outage at the plant stopped cooling systems for four pools storing spent nuclear fuel after a rat interfered with the electrics.

As of 3 p.m. on Friday, the temperature inside the pool attached to reactor 3 was 15.1 degrees Celsius (59.18 Fahrenheit), indicating that spent fuel remained stable and was not posing immediate danger to the environment, according to TEPCO.

Mutant Rats...

Next they'll be training other mutant wildlife in martial arts...

Another earthquake is gonna happen at some point, and that plant is gonna fall apart. There should be a global effort to make the place safe, and earthquake-proof, before it's too late.

You know, had this been any other kind of facility it would have been razed to the ground.

But no one knows how to deal with a busted up reactor, there's no where to dispose of it and no one wants to accept a problem that will outlast human civilization.

So, there it sits. Tepco probably is working on a scheme to unload the property to the taxpayers of Japan and until then there will be as little effort made as possible.

It's really a preview of what will happen as every other nuclear power station reaches the end of their useful lives. We see it at Palisades where the leadership had become detached from operations and I'm sure there are plenty of other examples throughout the industry, documented and not.

It's terrifying to think that so many other plants sit just waiting to become another Fukushima.

it happens most of the time, the good aliens do it from the craft. they have been doing this for years to protect humans from catastrophic future

..and this month has just started!

now we know why this - the very high temperature in the sea - is happening:

something´s seriously wrong there..

They need to just bury that place in sand and be done with it...






:safenuclearenerg:

^^ sand will not help to contain the leaking..

maybe sand=glass will help somewhat..

no more nuclear power

This isn't news...News would be if they got the cooling systems working.. since day one..

The sand will melt into glass and hermetically seal the rods.
