      Containment pools in reactors 1-6 all measure under 100 degrees temperature. The containment of reactor 3 is still a problem.

      Under the surface of Unit 1 at 100 6
      1:00 min 21 3 twitter tweet in (click on the site leaves the NHK)

      Sawa Kita Defense Minister, the Ministry of Defense press conference about the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, followed by 19 days, the surface temperature was measured from the sky, except for the containment of Unit 3, Unit 1 6 Unit until, in less than 100 degrees both in expert analysis, it was shown clearly to the view that as valuable data confirms that the water has entered the pool to store spent fuel.

      In this context, the Minister of Defense Sawa Kita, following 19 days, 20 days from about 1:00 pm, about an hour from an altitude of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station Self-Defense Force helicopter, using infrared surface temperature We found that for the activities. He added, Sawa Kita Minister of the measurements of 20 days, their surface temperature is 58 degrees Unit 1, Unit 2 is 35 degrees, 62 degrees No. 3, No. 4 42 degrees, 24 degrees is No. 5, No. 6 is 25 degrees, clear that for both was less than 100 degrees. Among them, No. 1, No. 3, for Unit 4 is expected to keep the surface temperature of the spent fuel pool. These results, the Minister Sawa Kita "According to the Nuclear Safety Commission, [it became clear that water has entered the pool to store spent fuel, but he'd evaluate that very valuable data. 100 None times less than that, as a result of yesterday, get out for a number of security people are relieved, "he said. The Minister Sawa Kita is on the containment of Unit 3, but 128 degrees was measured, "according to the experts, so right above the core, that it is within the range of expected values," stated .

                  AEESA is going to check to see if any radioactive material has washed into the ocean from the water cannon efforts on the reactors.

                  Watch for any discharge of water runoff into the sea
                  13:22 May 21

                  Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, the discharge has continued to work to cool the spent fuel pool, there is a possibility that some of the water flowing into the sea when it was injected, the Ministry of Atomic Energy Economy Safety Agency is now going to watch it and do not contain radioactive material.

                  Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant is no longer cool to have you kept the spent fuel pool, and fire departments and the Self-Defense Forces are continuing to discharge water into the pool and the No. 3 No. 4. Watering is done from a distance with great force, and enter the case against building the pool ▽, has come out from case and entered the building once ▽, in some cases may contain radioactive material Considered. NISA do this or not water is flowing into the sea near the time of discharge, it will continue to monitor the presence of radioactive materials. For suspended solids flowed into the sea from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, but has confirmed that from 19th June 4 flood control work has begun investigation of the radioactive material is that it did not go so far. NISA is "When you work watering, that possibly from the building flows into the sea water containing radioactive material. and to have a profound effect on the amount of water is unlikely to continue to validate "I said.

                    5 radioactive materials detected

                    Tokyo Electric Power Company says some of the nuclear fuel at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant has apparently been damaged, as higher levels of radioactive materials have been detected in the vicinity.

                    snip

                    Officials detected in the air 5 radioactive materials that are generated by nuclear fission.

                    The level of iodine 131 was 5.9 milibecquerels per cubic centimeter. That's about 6 times the permissible level for workers without protective masks.


                    The density of the other substances was also higher than usual, but within safety standards.

                      TEPCO smoke-related research and the radiation dose
                      21:55 March 21

                      21 pm, gray smoke rising from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station Unit 3 TEPCO 収Marimashita just before 6:00 pm so more than two hours. Meanwhile, minutes past 20:06 pm is that found that white smoke like steam from the reactor building of Unit 2. According to TEPCO, period, dose-site, a temporary, there is an upward trend, it has begun to fall again from 6:30 pm to examine the association with smoking.

                      At around 3:00 pm 21 55, greyish smoke from Agari Fukushima Daiichi Unit 3 nuclear power plant, and black smoke, but grayed out or, to fit into two hours after six o'clock, at this point The fire was not confirmed. According to NISA, the scene where the south side of the building containing the reactor, hit on the spent fuel pool, TEPCO workers had hit and the restoration work of power in the No. 4 from No. 1 everyone evacuated. Meanwhile, at 6:20 pm so that the reactor building of Unit 2 is that found that white smoke like steam through a gap in the mountain side of the roof. According to TEPCO, the radiation dose to the west about a kilometers away from Unit 2 and Unit 3, but was microsievert 494 per hour for 40 minutes at 5:00 pm at 6:30 pm, 1 microsievert rose to 1932 per hour. Then started to fall again at 8:30 that afternoon I dropped to 442 per hour microsievert, to examine the relationship between TEPCO smoke. Was scheduled for September 21 in this smoke, and the Tokyo Fire Department, special vehicles with water cannon put a lot of water poured arranged to focus where is that TEPCO was aborted.

                        Grey smoke rises from Unit 3 of the tsunami-stricken Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant in Okumamachi, Fukushima Prefecture, Japan, Monday, March 21, 2011. (Tokyo Electric Power Co.)


                        Japanese officials were forced to pull workers out of a disaster-ravaged nuclear power plant Monday for radiation safety reasons after unexplained grey smoke was spotted coming out of two reactor buildings.

                        It was the latest setback for officials trying to stabilize the troubled Fukushima Dai-ichi plant that has suffered explosions, fires and radiation leaks in several reactors since the massive earthquake and tsunami struck Japan on Mar. 11.

                        CTV's Tom Walters reported Monday that the first smoke was seen coming out of Dai-ichi's Unit 3 reactor building, but officials were unable to immediately identify the cause.
                        Smoke was later seen coming out of the Unit 2 reactor and remains under investigation.

                          22:29 March 22

                          21, white smoke rising from No. 2 in Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, and then about a temporary rise in the west of Unit 2 of the radiation dose, Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency of the Ministry of Economy, wind from other times and showed that there is a related view.

                          In Unit 2 nuclear power plant first Fukushima, at around 20:06 pm May 21, found that the rising white smoke from the roof of the building containing the reactor, all the people working on the No. 4 from No. 1 evacuated to the interior. According to TEPCO, the radiation dose of about 1 km away near the main gate of the power plant west of Unit 2, but was microsievert 494 per hour for 40 minutes at 5:00 pm at 6:30 pm, 1 microsievert rose to 1932 per hour. Then the value is that it was 380 per hour at 10:00 pm microsievert started to fall again. Nuclear Safety Agency This is the white smoke and added that the possibility of water vapor evaporating the spent fuel pool, and that was blowing toward the main gate from the No. 2 at the time the wind showed that the view that the idea of ​​white smoke came out due to the rise in the value of Unit 2 from the radiation dose to match the time zone. NISA is a broken fuel rods, as it may be leaking radioactive material into the pool, to be monitored closely.

                              Cooling function is lost in the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station has fallen into serious Toukyoudenryoku, 21, No. 3 from the effects of smoke came out, and discontinued work activities and external power is restored drainage, 21 Recovery of the central control room of Unit 2 during the day was aimed Zure込Mimashita after 22 days.

                              Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station in the gray smoke rising from the Unit 3 reactor building before 4:00 pm May 21, went out over more than two hours. Too much at 6:20 pm In addition, found that out white smoke like steam from building the reactor of Unit 2, Tokyo Electric Power, to No. 4 from No. 1 had been hit and restoration work on the power brought indoors to evacuate all workers. After the white smoke rose from No. 2, the radiation dose near the main gate about 1 km away to the west plant, but was microsievert 494 per hour in 40 minutes 21 5:00 pm, 6:30 pm has risen to 1932 per hour microsievert. Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency of the Ministry of Economy, which came out as a high value when the wind was blowing from east to west, which may have an influence wind direction and time, then the radiation dose, is down again. In effect, the Tokyo Fire Department and had been planned, in addition to flood control has been discontinued by the special vehicles poured a lot of water put the focus where arranged by TEPCO, the restoration work will be discontinued for an external power supply . This power recovery efforts, and is the key to recovering the lost cooling, TEPCO is working in parallel to rapidly discharge activity. 21, No. 5 in the switch to the external power supply from emergency generator to supply water to the pump and the reactor could be as cool and stable, has also been seen encouraging signs. On the other hand, work that was interrupted by the evacuation, indoor air-conditioning equipment and instrument recovery central control room of Unit 2 was aiming for a 21 days have now been delayed until after 22 days. 21 night, Mutou Sakai, vice president of TEPCO's nuclear charge of the press conference, "We apologize for any inconvenience or worry, sincerely apologize," and apologize for the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant accident, and "not necessarily stable reactor The state has not been, it is important to go back to a safe condition as soon as possible, and I think the biggest responsibility, "he said.
