Title: Stabilisation after Fukushima cooling change
Source: World Nuclear News
Date: Feb 7, 2012
[...] Tepco was able to discount recriticality as a potential cause of the temperature rise after conducting an analysis of charcoal filters in the containment gas control system. These showed very low traces of fission products that were below the threshold that would indicate criticality. Nevertheless Tepco this morning injected boric acid into the reactor vessel as a precaution and increased the core spray injection rate by three cubic metres per hour. [...]

bullshit lies those filters were probably coated with fission products

Look. Their just going to have to see if, in fact, the fuel did coagulate into the hypothetical corium phenomenon and if they are somehow accesible to a device that can cool and shield them from humanity. However, disturbing any hypothetical self-containment may be counterproductive. Divide the problem into as many tiny parts that are required for a successful outcome. Even if they have to remove fuel, one rod at a time (assuming there is undamaged fuel that is still underwater). Once the coriums have been located (and they don’t know how many of them there are) and cooled to a value under the melting point of lead, they can go about the business of shielding them in some sort of lead cacoon. Can you imagine? The project would be one of the wonders of the world, no doubt. On the side away from the coast, they dig out a landfill. Line it with cement and lead plating. Make a bed of sand and boron. Pull the complex apart piece by piece and drag it into the pit. Cover the debris with used tires filled with sand and boron. The used tires can be rolled into the landfill via ramps. Top it off with fertile soil and plant sunflower.

hbjon- The used tires can be rolled into…. giant dube-wahs and smoked! really thats ur solution?? Did u not watch any explosions at all- Did u not see the infrared shots of coriums under the basements- do u actually believe that intact rods are just chillin in completely annihilated reactors? Where is the sense in that. Technology to move any of the nuke puke has not been invented yet (per Tepco shills) and even super rad cams that can handle up to 1000 SEIVERTS have become toast after just 20 or 30 minutes of inspections in the wrecked hulls of what used to be the reactors- Did I mention the ongoing fission events…

Ok, forget about the fuel rod extraction part. I still stand behind the used tires filled with boron and sand.

“Very low” fission….. phew…. i thought it might been something to worry about.

Lol

Whoops, its actually “Very few *traces* of fission….. I guess thats a bit like, “very brief flashes of death.”

If the water isn’t getting to the corium, why would they think that the boric acid would get there?
Isn’t the definition of insanity ‘doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results?
Report Comment
Actually, that is not the definition of insanity. Because there is always a subtle difference in an action taken. For instance, the last time they tried it someone noticed an oompa loompa was not smiling. Now they have everyone smiling, like in a photograph.

“very low trace amounts” the redundency leads me to believe…otherwise
Report Comment
The containment structures have been compromised. All of them. The cores have melted through and out. They don’t know where the melted cores are, they admited to that already. They can’t possibly know how hot they are if they don’t know WHERE they are. They can’t possibly pour water on them if they don’t know where they are. How can they possibly measure how much radiation is coming off of them? The fact that, ‘very low trace amounts’ CAN be measured suggests to me that IF the knew WHERE to look, and WHERE to measure, the numbers would most probably be way the fuck higher….. Think about that for a bit.

Very low traces kind of like low traces of radiation detected nothing to worry about. The nuclear industry will say and do anything to protect their interests. NO NUKES

ok.. so according to the press release, …they measured gas control system for unit 2, and found:
… “we confirmed that the concentration of x-135 was below the detectable level…” it goes on to say “…continuing to monitor the trend as it is still showing a high value.” (how can there be a higher trending measurement for something that was below detectable levels of measurement?)
..and further states, “we injected boric acid as a safety measure against recriticality..”
so.. we measured no xenon, but trend continued rising in the unmeasured xenon, so we added boric acid to prevent recriticality.
dang, translating tepco speak is tiring

That made me grin with satanic intensity.
Good sarc.
Yet more evidence that if you keep away from nuke your brain works better and if you work with nuke your brain deteriorates.

Spokes-sham person: I can neither confirm nor say for certain… that the was no reading on the messurments we have just made.
As we are interested in you safty, we shall inject more acid into the core to be safe.
I can neither confirm, nor say for certain… that such acid will or will not eat the plastic pipes used to cirulate and or filter the water.
I CAN say for certain… that everything is fine! (BIG SMILE!)

oh..and don’t forget the nice saying at the end of the status of reactor 4,5,and 6(from press release)
“At this moment, we don’t think there is any reactant coolant leakage inside primary containment vessel.”
very reassuring eh?
..and does this mean they are certain(or think) there are leaks at 1, 2, and 3?
Report Comment
Hmmm… well…? If you are using the water from the basement of #5 reactor to water the grounds…? IS that classed as a leak issue?
Report Comment
and as there’s problems they haven’t a clue how to deal with, so have called the manufactures….
It a resorce managment issue, not a nucular oversite issue, isn’t it?
(ROLLS EYES!)

I’d be happier if they did an analysis of gasses tapped directly from the bottom of the containment structure. Via the same hole they recently used to perform the ‘camera inspection’. It’s down there below the pressure vessel, that any melted fuel might be attaining criticality.
We don’t know where different parts of the system are venting too, or where gasses passing through those charcoal filters might have come from.
