Inspection and rat carcasses found cooling system stop: Unit 2 Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant<\/H3>\r\n(23 minutes 15:22 April last update) 01 minutes 13:22 April Mainichi Shimbun in 2013\r\n

\r\nFrom state = Fukuichi live camera of Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant of 50 at around 2:00 pm\r\n<\/td><\/tr><\/table>\r\nThe 22nd, TEPCO announced that it had stopped the cooling system of\r\nthe spent fuel pool of Unit 2 Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.\r\nSince the corpse of two dogs rat is found inside the transformer in\r\nthe outdoors, I will check the equipment.\r\n

\r\nAccording to the Nuclear Regulatory Agency and Tokyo Electric Power,\r\n15 at around 10:00 am the same day, workers found a dead rat in the\r\ntwo animals terminal near the pool cooling transformer inside.\r\nRemove the mouse, stop the power for inspection of equipment 35 at\r\naround 11:00 the same. expected start is 3 to 4 hours later.\r\n<\/p>\r\n

\r\nWater temperature of the pool of power stop time is 13.9 degrees.\r\nThere is enough time to rise up to 65 degree of operational safety,\r\nTEPCO has “no problem. Administrative stopped just in case for\r\ninspection” he said. [Torii true flat]\r\n<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n

\r\nReuters’ version,\r\n\r\nFukushima nuclear cooling system offline for 3rd time in 5 weeks<\/a>,\r\nadds:\r\n<\/p>\r\n

\r\nLast month, a 29-hour power supply halt affecting nine facilities,\r\nincluding four spent fuel pool cooling systems, was caused by a rat\r\ntouching exposed wires in a temporary switchboard, triggering a\r\ncircuit breaker.\r\n<\/p>\r\n

\r\nIn early April, the No.3 unit’s spent fuel pool cooling system\r\nstopped, after workers appeared to have had inadvertently caused a\r\npower outage when they were trying to install a net to keep small\r\nanimals from crawling into the reactor building. (Reporting by Risa\r\nMaeda; Editing by Chris Gallagher)\r\n<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n

\r\nApparently that net didn’t work.\r\nShould we trust our safety to nuclear plants that can be shut down by rats?\r\nThe\r\n\r\ntritium-leaking<\/a>\r\nreactors at Plant Hatch at Baxley\r\n\r\nare the same design as at Fukushima<\/a>.\r\nFormer U.S. NRC Chairman Jaczko says\r\n\r\nwe should phase them all out<\/a> while\r\nformer Indian Atomic Energy Regulatory Board Chair Gopalakrishnan says the reactors currently building in India, already three years behind schedule and now found to incorporate numerous defects and deficiencies amid gross lack of transparency, must be stopped.\r\nWe know a better way:\r\nsolar<\/a> and wind power.\r\nLet’s get on with that.\r\n<\/p>\r\n
