Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station Unit 1 To install a large cover that covers the entire building December 20th 4:02
TEPCO, which is moving away from debris at Unit 1 of the Fukushima Daiichi NPS, has a 65m high cover that covers the entire building to reduce the risk of dust particles containing radioactive materials. Decided to install.
At Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station Unit 1, 392 nuclear fuels remain in the spent fuel pool at the top of the building, and TEPCO is proceeding with the removal of debris scattered during the accident in order to remove this nuclear fuel.
On this day, TEPCO announced that it decided to make a large cover to cover the building of Unit 1.
The size is 65 meters high, 65 meters long and 50 meters wide, which means that a crane can be installed on the ceiling to lift and remove the debris.
About TEPCO TEPCO has decided to reduce the risk that dust containing radioactive materials will be scattered when debris is removed, to prevent the inflow of rain, and to reduce the generation of contaminated water.
TEPCO plans to proceed with detailed design from now on, but the completion date is undecided at this time.
