Marine Environment Monitoring of Fukushima Nuclear Accident (2 June 2011)
Marine Environment Monitoring of Fukushima Nuclear Accident (2 June 2011)International Atomic Energy Agency 1) Radioactive contamination from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident spread to the marine environment through atmospheric fallout and discharge of contaminated water into the sea. 2) Monitoring shows contamination levels decreasing in sea water near the plant but remaining relatively constant further offshore due to ongoing water discharge. 3) Sediment near discharge areas shows higher radioactivity, indicating particle adsorption and removal from the water column. Traces of radionuclides may disperse across the northern Pacific ocean over the coming years.
Summary of Reactor Status (2 June 2011)
Summary of Reactor Status (2 June 2011)International Atomic Energy Agency 1) The reactor at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant is subcritical and stable, with no significant neutron flux or power increase detected. However, boric acid injection is still being considered to ensure subcriticality is maintained. 2) Residual heat removal is not fully achieved, as a long-term closed-loop cooling system has not been established. Actions are ongoing to install primary and secondary closed-loop cooling systems. 3) Containment integrity is also not fully achieved, as pressure and hydrogen levels continue to be monitored for risks of explosions. The condition of the reactor pressure vessel is unknown.
Table 4: Unit 4 Reactor: Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant - 18 May 2011
Table 4: Unit 4 Reactor: Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant - 18 May 2011International Atomic Energy Agency - The spent fuel pool at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant Unit 4 has partially achieved necessary safety functions, but further actions are needed. - TEPCO assumes the spent fuel assemblies are intact based on water sampling, but more assessment is required. Fresh water is being sprayed into the pool to cool it. - The pool temperature on May 9th was reported as 81°C after spraying, though no recent data was available. Continued water spraying and makeup is needed to fully cool the pool.
Table 2: Unit 2 Reactor: Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant - 18 May 2011
Table 2: Unit 2 Reactor: Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant - 18 May 2011International Atomic Energy Agency The document summarizes the status of fundamental safety functions for Unit 2 at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant on 18 May 2011. It finds that stable cooling and containment integrity had not been achieved, and that radioactive releases were not fully contained. Water levels in the reactor core were low and the containment was likely damaged. Off-site power and backup generators provided electricity but a long-term closed-loop cooling system had not been established. TEPCO's roadmap included pursuing additional countermeasures to cool the reactor, prevent further releases, and monitor radiation levels.
