It is possible to permanently close the Fukushima I Factory ahead of time

Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) has announced that its engineers will be able to permanently shut down the damaged nuclear engines of the Fukushima I plant around the end of this year, ahead of the expected deadline. next year.

The Fukushima I plant has exploded and leaked radioactivity since March this year, after a terrible earthquake and tsunami. Japanese experts are working hard to fix it and are expected to permanently close in January next year.

But now they consider the Fukushima I plant to be completely closed by the end of 2011. This technique is called a 'cold shutdown' , which means maintaining the temperature of the machines below. 100 degrees C.

'Cold close will be declared once the temperature at the bottom of the reactor is maintained under 100 degrees Celsius and radioactive leaks from these reactors are within control' , TEPCO declares.

Representative of the company, Yoshikazu Nagal said: 'We need to maintain this situation continuously and see if the machines are peaceful or not'.

There were 128,000 tons of radioactive water treated and there are still about 43,000 tons of water to be purified.

Mr. Nagal said that after being purified, these countries were brought back into nuclear machines to cool them.

TEPCO has also reduced the amount of radiation released by about 50%, an index that is said to be quite good.

But nuclear experts say it takes years, even decades, to clean up the consequences of the Fukushima I plant.

The Fukushima I disaster has been considered the worst in the world since the incident at the Chernobyl factory in 1986 so far.
