SFP cooling system of reactor 2,3,6 and 1 and 3 of Daini were stopped because of the trouble of power exchanging facility in Iwaki Fukushima.[...] cesium absorbing system, nitrogen injecting system for reactor 1,2,3, and gas purifying system of reactor 2 were stopped too.

The hydrogen gas level is still high in reactor1~3. Stopping injection on nitrogen gas may cause another hydrogen explosion.

(UPDATE: The systems are getting back online.)It happened around 4:10PM on January 17, 2012. [...]

Nitrogen injection system [has] since restarted [...]

    Press conference [...]

    • TEPCO’s switching station in Minami Iwaki had a problem that caused the voltage to drop momentarily. They turned the switch off for a few milliseconds to clear the system.
    • TEPCO doesn’t know what caused the problem at the switching station.
    • The systems are getting back online. Kurion is still stopped. None of the systems needs to be continuously operated.
    • (There is absolutely no urgency in either question or answer, so I think everything is dandy now. I’m signing off.)
