| Anonymous Coward User ID: 60032808  Japan07/08/2014 03:20 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Why do the Op do not mentioned the Restart of the Cooling, yesterday- 8'th of July? FUKUSHIMA, July 8, 2014- The cooling of the spent fuel pool of Unit 5 at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station which was stopped due to seawater leak found at a pipe resumed cooling by another system at 15:40 today, and all the fuel inside is safely cooled, Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) announced. Unit 5 is a reactor which achieved safe shutdown and all fuels inside remained undamaged after the earthquake and tsunami that hit the station in March 2011. A system that cools the spent fuel pool at Unit 5 has been stopped on July 6 2014, after seawater was found leaking from a pipe of the indirect cooling system called the "Auxiliary Sea Water (SW) System". After investigation on July 6, the company found seawater leaking from a hole approximately 3mm in diameter, on a valve that is used to control amount of water flow. The leak was stopped after the suspension of the system, and the hole was immediately repaired inserting a hardener. The company said it is planning to restart the SW cooling system after further repair is done. Meanwhile, the cooling of 994 fuel assemblies inside the spent fuel pool will be continued through another system which is normally used to cool the reactor, called the "Residual Heat Removal (RHR) System", the company explained. There was no effect to the environment, and there was no radiation exposure to the workers by the stop of cooling of the spent fuel pool, the company explained.

If Fukushima was really the end of the world, we'd see more evidence by now. I think there's a bunch of wishful doomdayers on here. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 20018163 It's not an all or nothing situation. + it's cumulative if anything the "evidence" would be at the very end of the road |

Thread: TEPCO Says They Have A SHORT TERM FIX For Leak In #5 - PAGE 4 lets see....Duct tape, bailing wire, ratchet straps, and is that bubble gum I see too? WTF kind of fix is this!?!?!? oh, I see wood blocks too!  Great Fix Tepco! Chugiakian |
