Demolition is delayed by about 1 month Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant September 27 5:29
The demolition work for the 120-meter-high stack that was proceeding at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station ended on the 26th. Demolition is scheduled to be completed during the current fiscal year, but the work is delayed about a month.
The 120-meter-high stack at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant was contaminated by the release of a gas containing radioactive material during an accident, and cracks were found in the steel frame due to the effects of hydrogen explosions.
TEPCO plans to cut it to half height in 23 times for the purpose of preventing collapse, and the second cutting work has been completed on the 26th.
According to TEPCO, the work was often interrupted because the blades of the cutting device were worn earlier than expected, so the dismantling work is now delayed by about a month from the plan.
TEPCO will consider the points to be improved and plan to enter the third disconnection next week. Dismantling will be completed within the current fiscal year as planned.
In addition, TEPCO announced the survey results of a facility called “Process Main Building” that temporarily stores contaminated water from the nuclear power plant on the 26th, and the material “Zeolite” that adsorbs radioactive substances injected into the contaminated water is included. It was revealed that a high radiation dose of up to 3 sieverts per hour was measured from Tadoko.
The sandbag is underwater, so there is almost no influence of radiation on the surroundings, but in the future, we are going to start examining how to dispose of the sandbag.
