Fukushima Nuke Plant emergency: “Sea water” tapped as an emergency coolant
Posted on 12 March 2011 by mikeinmanila
NHK reports that the Tokyo Electric Power Company, “Is using sea water as an emergency coolant in its quake-damaged reactor at Fukushima Number One Power Plant.” Friday’s Earthquake caused a breakdown of cooling systems; that could caused temperatures in the reactor to rise to uncontrollable levels. A explosion took place from a steam pressure buildup.
Japan’s Chief of Cabinet, Secretary Yukio Edano, disclosed that the company is pouring sea water into the containment vessel of the reactor.
Sea water is readily available as the plant is close to the sea.
Edano said the company is mixing boric acid with the water to help absorb neutrons to slow nuclear fission.
Edano added in a media statement that government’s Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency endorsed the procedure.
Japan’s Self-Defense Force troops, in charge of the cooling process, are using pump trucks and other methods to inject the sea water.
They say the work started on Saturday evening will be completed on early Sunday. No word was given as to where any water overflow may be going. But, officials stress that all safety precautions are being taken to avoid a meltdown.
