Progress Status of Fukushima Daini Nuclear Power Station Restoration Plan (Monthly Report: September 2012)

Based on the Restoration Plan (submitted on January 31, 2012 and revised on May 31, 2012) prepared in accordance with the Nuclear Operator Emergency Action Plan, Fukushima Daini Nuclear Power Station is now proceeding with restoration of facilities for maintaining cold shutdown of the station. We report the restoration progress status at the end of September 2012 as shown below.

The restoration work for Unit 1-3 is proceeding steadily. On May 17, 2012, the restoration (permanent installation) of the equipments/facilities necessary to maintain cold shutdown state has been completed for Unit 4. The internal inspection after the permanent installation of equipments/facilities has also been completed. An interim progress report was created and submitted to the government on May 31 (Previously mentioned on May 31, 2012). Source Tepco, (My selection)


This shows that Fukushima Daini was also damaged and that three units have not yet been fully restored and thus implies that the damages sustained were serious and it raises serious questions: Was radiation released and how much? Were there partial meltdowns?Why is the fuel being moved from unit 4? Why is water being purged? And where to? (My comment)
