Seawater leak found at Sendai nuclear plant
Nuclear & Energy Aug. 24, 2015 - Updated 07:55 UTC-4
The
operator of the Sendai nuclear power plant in Kagoshima Prefecture,
southwestern Japan, says it found seawater used to cool steam has leaked
from some pipes.
The trouble occurred at a condenser for the plant's
No.1 reactor last Thursday. Officials at Kyushu Electric Power Company
found elevated salt levels in the machine.
The condenser uses
seawater to turn the steam from the power turbine back into water. The
reactor has 3 condensers, and each one is equipped with 26,000 thin
pipes to carry seawater.
Utility officials have been checking these
pipes. They say they found cracks in 5 pipes in one condenser and that
seawater had leaked from them.
The officials stopped the flow of
seawater by putting plugs in the 5 pipes. They are now checking the
other tubes. The utility firm says they will keep running the reactor.
The
trouble occurred 9 days after the operator restarted the reactor on
August 11th. It was the first to go back online under new regulations
introduced after the Fukushima nuclear accident in 2011.
The utility
was due to raise the reactor's power output to 100 percent on Tuesday.
But the problems are expected to delay the scheduled work by about one
week.
Mayor asks US military to probe blast cause
Japan Aug. 24, 2015 - Updated 00:11 UTC-4
The
mayor of a city near Tokyo has called on US forces to conduct a speedy
investigation into the cause of Monday's explosions at a US military
facility there.
Sagamihara Mayor, Toshio Kayama, made the request on
Monday when the commander of the US Army Garrison Japan, Colonel William
Johnson, called him to explain what happened and apologize.
City officials say the mayor also asked the commander to take thorough safety measures.
Early
on Monday, a warehouse inside the US Army's Sagami General Depot caught
fire after a number of explosions. The fire was contained more than 6
hours later. The 900-square-meter warehouse was burned out.
Police and fire officials say there are no reports of injury or damage to nearby homes.
A
spokesperson for the US Army said that the warehouse stored mainly
cylinders of compressed nitrogen, oxygen and chlorofluorocarbons.
Based on the Japan-US status of forces agreement, US forces will investigate the cause of the blast.
Japan's
Chief Cabinet Secretary, Yoshihide Suga, told reporters on Monday that
the incident will fuel concern among those who live around US military
facilities.
He said the government urged the United States to provide
more information, investigate the cause of the explosion and take
preventive measures.
Suga said the government also called on the US to step up safety measures at its military facilities in Japan.
