What is the status of the reactor?
how are the reactors.
As the hours go by, the situation in the Fukushima nuclear power is complicated. The six reactors are there in the plant are severely damaged and every time it is feared more for a nuclear catastrophe. The nuclear agencies report at least once a day a report on what your state.
Reactor 1. It is injecting borated seawater in the reactor vessel. The core remains uncovered. From radiation measurements made in the area, does not follow that there is a containment failure. However, there is no update on the fuel pool or the structural integrity of the containment building. It was the first reactor to exploit.
Reactor 2. It receives a considerable drop in pressure in the containment building, which indicates a failure of its integrity and continues injection of water into the reactor vessel while the core is partially exposed.
Reactor 3. Perceived a slight drop in pressure in the containment building, which could indicate any degradation in it, and kept the work of water injection in the reactor vessel. Continues to investigate the presence of smoke or steam coming out of the reactor building.
Reactor 4 seems to have extinguished the second fire at the reactor building, said last night. Moreover, after the first fire and subsequent explosion, significant damage has been detected in one of the walls of the reactor building. Water temperature of the fuel pool is stable above normal. This unit, at the time of the tsunami, was in stop and recharge from the month of November 2010 and had already downloaded all the fuel from the reactor pool. As reported by the website of the IAEA, the Japanese authorities have expressed concern about the fuel pools of units 3 and 4, so you are trying to releasing cooling water from helicopters or spray from the ground.
Reactor 5. Water temperature of the fuel pool has experienced a slight increase, but remains normal.
Reactor 6. Water temperature of the fuel pool has experienced a slight increase, but remains normal.
