marinegirl Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Japan Declare Crisis As Fukushima Reactor Falls Into Ocean Posted on February 3, 2017 by Sean Adl-Tabatabai in News, US // 9 Comments Scientists at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant in Japan have declared a state of emergency as one of the reactors is on the verge of falling into the ocean. Lethal levels of radiation have been detected around the site which scientists say stems from a hole caused by melted nuclear fuel. Rt.com reports:Radiation levels of up to 530 Sieverts per hour were detected inside an inactive Reactor 2 at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear complex damaged during the 2011 earthquake and tsunami catastrophe, Japanese media reported on Thursday citing the plant operator, Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO).A dose of about 8 Sieverts is considered incurable and fatal.A hole of no less than one square meter in size has also been discovered beneath the reactor’s pressure vessel, TEPCO said. According to researchers, the apparent opening in the metal grating of one of three reactors that had melted down in 2011, is believed to be have been caused by melted nuclear fuel that fell through the vessel.The iron scaffolding has a melting point of 1500 degrees, TEPCO said, explaining that there is a possibility the fuel debris has fallen onto it and burnt the hole. Such fuel debris have been discovered on equipment at the bottom of the pressure vessel just above the hole, it added.The latest findings were released after a recent camera probe inside the reactor, TEPCO said. Using a remote-controlled camera fitted on a long pipe, scientists managed to get images of hard-to-reach places where residual nuclear material remained. The substance there is so toxic that even specially-made robots designed to probe the underwater depths beneath the power plant have previously crumbled and shut down.However, TEPCO still plans to launch further more detailed assessments at the damaged nuclear facility with the help of self-propelled robots. Earlier this week, hopes for a more efficient cleanup at Fukushima were high, as the plant operator announced a portion of nuclear fuel debris responsible for a lot of the lingering contamination from six years ago may have finally been found. http://yournewswire.com/japan-fukushima-reactor-crisis/ Still a major problem over there.....hope they can do some thing to prevent more contamination,i,m sure they have their top guys on it.

jtmulc Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 The article isn't entirely inaccurate. Radiation levels have recently been recorded at the highest level since the March 2011 meltdown, but there has not been any mention of any danger of the reactor falling into the ocean.
