Anonymous Coward User ID: 28285524 United States 07/06/2014 10:16 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Why can't they treat the released sea water coolants with reverse osmosis? Quoting: pool Reverse osmosis has been identified by EPA as a “best available technology” (BAT) and Small System Compliance Technology (SSCT) for uranium, radium, gross alpha, and beta particles and photon emitters. It can remove up to 99 percent of these radionuclides, as well as many other contaminants (e.g., arsenic, nitrate, and microbial contaminants). Reverse osmosis units can be automated and compact making them appropriate for small systems. [link to www.epa.gov] R.O is great,slow,and expensive; you are forcing water through a permeable membrane under very high pressure.Then you have to dispose of the concentrated contaminated membrane anyway.. |

Chugiakian User ID: 53604407 United States 07/06/2014 10:40 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Direct trans from Asahi: Quoting: RadChick TEPCO the 6th, the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in Unit 5 spent fuel has announced that it has stopped the cooling of the pools that store. Cooling water because the water leak is found from the pipe to capture the cool sea water.  10 at around 11 am on the 6th, the reactor building of TEPCO employees patrolling water from leaking from a pipe in the found. Had leaked that auxiliary cooling seawater system, it was piping system to capture the seawater to cool the turbines and pumps. Of water leaking radioactive material concentration of low, TEPCO is expected to seawater. There was no leak in the patrol at the time of the morning the day before. [link to www.asahi.com] May also be affecting other pools, trying to get more info. Trans is hard to sort out. Good find RadChick! we definitely need more eyes looking for information on this, monitoring the airwaves 24/7/365. Chugiakian |

Chugiakian User ID: 53604407 United States 07/06/2014 10:44 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ALERT: Quoting: Mountain Woman [link to voiceofrussia.com] Fukushima nuclear plant operator TEPCO reports that the coolant system of the fifth reactor was shut down due to a water leak. The system was halted after a leak near one of the valves was detected, according to the company’s press release Read more: [link to voiceofrussia.com] [SNIP] Currently the biggest problems the plant’s personnel are facing are the accumulation of radioactive water and its storage. About 440,000 tons of highly radioactive water is currently being stored in underground tanks and cisterns. The amount of contaminated water underground is increasing by 400 tons per day due to the groundwater flowing in from the higher ground. Starting this April TEPCO initiated an experiment to freeze 11,000 tons of radioactive water that accumulated in the plant’s underground tunnels, to prevent it from its leakage into the soil and, finally, into the sea. However, due to some particular characteristics of the tunnels some of the water could not be frozen. Read more: [link to voiceofrussia.com] Chugiakian |

After that, it was confirmed leakage situation, and it was confirmed that the valve body of the flow rate adjustment you have installed in the auxiliary cooling seawater system outlet pipe, hole of about 3mm diameter is open one place. Future, I will consider the repair method of the relevant section. Moreover, when it was confirmed leakage situation of seawater of Unit 5 reactor building, from situations such as the following, we estimated a total of about 1,310 liters leakage amount. -1st floor reactor building: about 2m × 3m × about about 5mm depth (about 30 liters) ,the reactor building basement medium: about 10m × 8m × about about 10mm depth (about 800 liters) ,the reactor building basement Floor: about 10m × 3m × about about 1mm depth (about 30 liters) ,the reactor building basement: / 2 (about 450 ripple (about 50mm depth about about 6m × 3m ×) ;torr) water accumulated where there are set to 1/2 for the triangle. In addition, the spent fuel pool water temperature is 23C at 3 pm, and to more than limit driving on (65 ℃), the margin of about 9 days I have a.  In the future, the fact that while looking at the spent fuel pool water temperature, switch back and forth emergency heat load operation cooling operation and (core cooling) and (spent fuel pool cooling) reactor shutdown due to the residual heat removal system, as required I am going to perform the cooling of the spent fuel pool accordingly.

Or perhaps pump it out and into the ocean as well?? OMG ... this just keeps getting worse by the day, month, and year. |
