Fukushima 'Decontamination Troops' Often Exploited, Shunned
The
ashes of half a dozen unidentified laborers ended up at a Buddhist
temple in this town just north of the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant.
Some of the dead men had no papers, others left no emergency contacts.
Their names could not be confirmed and no family members had been
tracked down to claim their remains.
They were simply labeled
"decontamination troops" — unknown soldiers in Japan's massive cleanup
campaign to make Fukushima livable again five years after radiation
poisoned the fertile countryside.

Panel probes TEPCO's failure to follow manual
A
panel of experts set up by Tokyo Electric Power Company has discussed
for the first time its failure to follow an in-house manual on quickly
determining core meltdowns. TEPCO did not admit the meltdowns until two
months after the 2011 accident at the Fukushima Daiichi power plant.
The
three members of the panel, which was set up by the utility to
investigate the responses, met for the first time on Thursday in Tokyo.
TEPCO admitted meltdowns at three of its reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi power plant two months after the March 2011 accident.
But
last month it was revealed that the meltdowns could have been
determined three days after they began if the utility had followed its
in-house manual.
Lawyer Yasuhisa Tanaka, who heads the panel, said
the case underscores the lack of information provided by TEPCO. He said
they will study what went wrong.
KEPCO objects to court injunction to halt reactors
Kansai
Electric Power Company has asked a court to nullify its injunction
ordering it to halt 2 reactors at a nuclear plant in central Japan.
The reactors are the Number 3 and Number 4 units of KEPCO's plant in Takahama Town in Fukui Prefecture.
The Otsu District Court in Shiga Prefecture ordered the utility on Wednesday to suspend operation of the two reactors.
The
court said the operator had not fully explained how it would ensure
safety. It cited matters of concern over the utility's measures to
prevent accidents and the likelihood that residents' lives and property
could be in jeopardy.
TEPCO to conduct muon probe at reactor No.2
The
operator of the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant is having an
uphill battle due to strong radiation to figure out how molten fuel
spreads in damaged reactors. The plant suffered a meltdown 5 years ago.
The
Japanese government and Tokyo Electric Power Company will take photos
of molten fuel in the No.2 reactor using an elementary particle called a
muon.
The probe starts next week. It comes following a similar attempt at the No.1 reactor of the plant last year.
Muon
particles are generated in the upper layer of the atmosphere and
constantly fall to earth. They can easily penetrate large structures.
Researchers use them to take photos of fuel inside of reactors, similar
to taking X-rays.
The government and TEPCO say they will use a
small-sized device so the survey will not get in the way of other work
to decommission the reactor.
A group of researchers from Nagoya
University used the muon particle process at the No.2 reactor. It found
that it is highly likely that most of the fuel in the reactor has
melted.
The planned probe is to obtain a more precise image of the
way molten fuel has spread over several months. The data will be used to
decommission the reactor by removing the fuel.
