Fukushima

Vermont Yankee and Pilgrim Nuclear, both operated by Entergy, are the same age and same design as Fukushima.


Radioactive water seeping from Fukushima No.1 tank 30 Sep 2013 Tokyo Electric Power Co. has confirmed that radioactive water is seeping through a joint of one of the tanks that store low-level radioactive water at its Fukushima No.1 nuclear power plant. The tank is located near the No. 6 reactor at the stricken plant, TEPCO said late Saturday night. Workers of another firm detected the seeping water at about 10:45 p.m. while patrolling the tank area, the company said.


Plastic pad clogs Fukushima radiation cleaning system 29 Sep 2013 A piece of plastic padding which clogged up a drain is thought to have caused the breakdown of a decontamination system at Japan's crippled Fukushima nuclear plant, the operator said Sunday. The Advanced Liquid Processing System (ALPS), designed to remove radioactive material from contaminated water, is expected to play a crucial role in treating huge amounts of toxic water accumulating at the plant. But it was halted due to a defect only hours after starting operations. Workers found that a plastic pad, which fixed a ladder in the system, had worked loose and got stuck in a drain, probably causing the defect, said operator Tokyo Electric Power Co.


Bad weather damages silt fence, built to contain radiation, at Fukushima No. 1 plant --It is thought that large amounts of radioactive materials have already drifted into Pacific 26 Sep 2013 Bad weather has damaged a silt fence erected to contain radioactive material escaping from the crippled reactors at the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant, Tokyo Electric Power Co. said Thursday, raising fears that more tainted water might flow into the Pacific Ocean. The breach was found at 10:40 a.m. Thursday near intact reactors 5 and 6, which take in core-cooling seawater that is later pumped back into the ocean. ...The fence is also designed to block radioactive material coming from damaged units 1, 2, 3 and 4, where another silt fence is set up.
