Fukushima primary piping damage potential, high concentrations of iodine from sea water
Edited on Sat Mar-26-11 01:36 AM by Bonobo
From Nihon Keizai Shinbun 5 minutes ago:

The first nuclear power plant issue Hukushima 1,3 Toukyoudenryoku was detected high levels of radioactive material from a puddle in the basement of the turbine building Unit, raised the possibility that radioactive material leaked out and damaged pipes leading to the reactor have. Nuclear Safety Agency, METI has leaked from the spent fuel pool and the concentration of radioactive material is unlikely suspect. TEPCO also 26, announced that it has detected high concentrations of radioactive material from nuclear power plant near the water first. Believed to be leaking from the primary.

The first primary on January 24, soaked in water exposed workers in the Unit 3 turbine building (nuked). The water had been contaminated with radioactive materials, such as iodine 131. Contaminated water was found in the Unit 1 turbine building.

NISA type and concentration of radioactive materials, considering the state of the nuclear reactor. "Containment and pressure vessel containing the fuel rods is healthy, and leaking spent fuel pool is unlikely," analysts said. Releasing radioactive material damage to the fuel rods in the reactor may be leaking pipes and valves through contaminated water.

If there is damage to pipes and valves, resulting in difficulty with circulation of cooling water to cool reactors. And that it is necessary to replace or repair any defective valve leakage, high work-site radiation dose is not easy. "Cool down" to bring a safe condition that is likely to still take time.

2. Do you understand what's intended to be conveyed?

I read it several times and it still doesn't make any sense. Little help?

3. Quite frankly, I'm scared that you can leak pipes and valves.
What the hell is happening over in that reactor?

4. I guess I won't be eating any Nori for a while
Seaweed takes up a lot of Iodine.

5. I'm not buying it - No explanation for the 13 neutron beams detected 2 miles away
there is more going on
