[quote:Waterbug:MV8xNTM3MTQ2XzI2MzQxMDU5X0VFMzFCMjAy] Assembly of Fukushima cover underway Fuel pool cooling Meanwhile, Tepco reported that it has switched from using a water-injection system, where cold water was regularly pumped into the pool and allowed to evaporate on heating, to a circulatory cooling system for the used fuel pool at unit 1. The new system is designed to pump warm water out of the pool, cool it, and then return the water to the pool. The company said that it began operating the alternative cooling system at 11:22 am on 10 August. The temperature of that fuel pool was previously unknown due to a failure of the instrumentation. However, a reading taken shortly after the alternative cooling system was started indicated that the temperature of the water in the pool was 47.0°C. Another reading taken 24 hours later showed that the temperature had already fallen to 41.5°C. Tepco has already installed similar alternative cooling systems at the used fuel pools in Fukushima Daiichi units 2, 3 and 4. The temperature of those pools on 11 August was 36.0°C, 33.6°C and 42.0°C, respectively. http://www.world-nuclear-news.org/RS-Assembly_of_Fukushima_cover_underway-1108114.html [/quote]
