Japan opened the Fukushima I nuclear reactor reactor

Tokyo Electric Power Company (Tepco) has been authorized by the Japan Agency for Nuclear and Industrial Safety to open its doors to the No.1 reactor of the Fukushima I nuclear power plant, the same day the official announced Japan. Do not give up nuclear energy.

Tokyo Electric Company opened the door of the room where the No. 1 reactor of the Fukushima I nuclear power plant, a reinforced concrete structure surrounding the reactor core, was installed.

TEPCO started work around 8 pm yesterday after announcing to Fukushima Prefecture and its neighboring governments. The company said the level of radiation in the building was low enough for workers to get inside.

According to Tepco, data measured on the evening of May 7 showed that radioactive iodine and cesium concentrations were so low that workers wearing closed masks could get inside. According to the schedule, workers can enter here from today, 9/5.

Fukushima I nuclear power plant was heavily affected by the double disaster 11/3.

Opening the door to the reactor may cause radioactive material to leak out. However, TEPCO said it minimized leakage of radiation by placing a special barrier at the entrance during the removal of the ventilation pipes, and changing the air inside the building once every 8 hours. As soon as they enter this place, the staff will control the pipes, valves, and machinery to see what repairs are needed to make the reactor's cooling system work again.

The broken cooling system forced emergency personnel to dump thousands of tons of water into the reactor to keep the furnace cool, but created a large amount of radioactive contaminated wastewater. The reactor's cooling system reuses water, so if it works again, it will simplify recovery operations.

Earlier, Tepco reported that the temperature at the nearby No. 3 reactor was high, the morning was 202 degrees Celsius, an increase of 40 degrees in less than a day, but still below the normal operating temperature.

Yesterday, a leading Japanese spokesman confirmed that Japan will continue to rely on nuclear energy, although the Prime Minister asked to stop operating at the Hamaoka power plant located near a seismic fault.

Speaking to reporters in Tokyo on the same day, Prime Minister Kan Naoto said his request for a halt to the Hamaoka nuclear power plant in Central was an exception. He will not ask to stop the operation of other power companies' nuclear power plants.
