Flooded fuel tank after nuclear power plant in Japan’s strong earthquake in Fukushima… “No safety problem”

Newsis-It was found that water overflowed from the Fukushima nuclear power plant due to a powerful earthquake in the’Jindo 6 River’ that occurred off the coast of Fukushima Prefecture in Japan.

According to NHK News in Japan on the 14th, Tokyo Electric Power Corp. revealed that 160 ml of water overflowed from the spent fuel tank (pool) at the top of the nuclear reactor building of Fukushima No. 2 Nuclear Power Plant 1 in the aftermath of the earthquake that occurred the day before.

In addition, it has been confirmed that a small amount of water overflowed in the spent fuel tanks at nuclear power plants 1, 5 and 6.

However, there seems to be no safety problem. The Atomic Energy Regulatory Authority said that there are no problems such as exposure because the amount of water overflowed is low and the radiation dose is low. Tokyo Electric Power Corp. said, “There is no abnormality in nuclear power plants such as the Fukushima 1st and 2nd nuclear power plants.” There is no change.” Yoon Woo-yeol, Dong-A.com reporter [email protected]
