Meanwhile, seawater has also been pumped into used fuel tanks at the plant's No. 2 reactor. Rescuers also resumed the discharge of water into the No. 3 reactor.

During the press conference on the same day, the Japan Nuclear Safety Agency said the pressure in the No.3 reactor was rising. In the past, experts often used water in compressed tanks to reduce the amount of radioactivity in the air inside the oven and then to outside. However, because the pressure is increasing, this time, the Japan Nuclear Safety Agency has decided to discharge the air inside the furnace outside. Meanwhile, Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), which operates the Fukushima-1 plant, said the increased amount of water sprayed into reactor No. 3 made the pressure rise rather than an increase. weirdo.
