Workers remove fuel exchanger at Fukushima Daiichi
Nuclear & Energy Aug. 2, 2015 - Updated 12:22 UTC-4
Workers
at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant have successfully removed a
20-ton device from the Number 3 reactor building.
The fuel exchanger
fell into the fuel pool on the top floor when the reactor building
exploded during the 2011 disaster. The device was used to move nuclear
fuel in and out of the pool.
The removal of the fuel exchanger started on Sunday morning and took 7 hours to complete.
As the site is highly radioactive, workers watched camera footage, and used 2 remote-controlled cranes to carry out the task.
The
566 fuel rod assemblies in the spent fuel pool of the Number 3 reactor
building could have suffered damage if the device had fallen back in
during the removal procedure.
The other decommissioning work at the plant was suspended during the removal to secure the safety of the workers.
The
plant's operator, Tokyo Electric Power Company, says there were no
major problems, and the amount of radioactive substances at Fukushima
Daiichi has not changed.
The removal of spent fuel is the first major
challenge for the decommissioning of the plant, which will take an
estimated 40 years to complete. But the large amount of debris and the
high levels of radiation have kept spent fuel from being removed from
the Number 1, 2 and 3 reactor buildings.
The removal of the fuel
exchanger is a major step forward, but the removal of spent fuel will
not start until 2017, or 2 years behind schedule, as it will take a long
time to remove the debris and decontaminate the area.
The current
roadmap says the removal of spent fuel will start in 2021. However,
TEPCO has not been able to determine the location of the spent fuel rods
that melted and fell, and has yet to start developing technologies to
remove them.
Many issues remain before the buildings are demolished and the decommissioning work is completed.
NRA approves soil freezing plan
Nuclear & EnergyAug. 3, 2015 - Updated 19:11 UTC-4
Japan's
nuclear regulator has approved plans for underground frozen barriers at
all locations at the damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant. The aim
is to stem the buildup of contaminated water in reactor buildings.
On
Friday, the Nuclear Regulation Authority approved a revised
construction plan submitted by the Tokyo Electric Power Company to build
a system that will freeze soil along the seaside. The utility hopes to
start the work as soon as possible. It began work on the project on the
inland side last June.
TEPCO plans to freeze soil around the No.1 to
No.4 reactor buildings in order to create a barrier 1.5 kilometers long.
It is intended to keep groundwater from seeping into the reactor
buildings.
The nuclear regulator told TEPCO that a condition of its
approval of the frozen barrier plans is that the utility must control
the level of groundwater by adding water from wells that will be dug
around the reactor buildings.
Restart of Sendai reactors will result in 40 tons of spent fuel
