Japan: Fukushima's Stable Of Nuclear Radiation

REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, Japan finally declared that nuclear power plants, Fukushima has reached the condition of cold and dead. The reactor has reached a dead and cold conditions, "said the Prime Minister of Japan, Yoshihiko Noda, in a nuclear emergency meeting on Friday (16/12).
"Even if an incident occurs outside the prediction, the radiation situation at the plant level can be maintained at low levels," he said.
"The government is now drafting a map jalam and do his best to disable the generation," said Prime Minister of Japan.
Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, located 240 kilometers northeast of Tokyo on March 11 were damaged by the earthquake and tsunami dahysat. The twin natural disasters damage the cooling system to trigger melting and radiation leakage.
Declared dead-cold conditions will impact both on the situation outside the plant. It was a precondition set by the government before allowing about 80 thousand residents were evacuated - those who lived within 20 km of power - to return home.
Cold dead condition is when the water used to cool the nuclear fuel rods remain below the boiling point. Conditions that prevent the fuel to heat up again. One of the chief of operations of the plant operator, Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) managed to bring the reactor in this stage right at the end of the year.
After months of effort, the water temperature in all three reactors affected by the damage falls below the boiling point in September. TEPCO But be careful and not declared dead cold conditions. Instead of saying to make sure again whether the temperature and the amount of radiation released remained stable.
In an interview reported by Al Jazeera on Saturday (17/12), a nuclear scientist, Imad Khadduri, says, "Plan of Prime Minister of Japan is very strong, very ambitious and detail. One measure of this success is a direct effort to decontaminate cooling coupled with efforts to March when the disaster occurred, "he said.
"I really significant stuff hoping to run a full decontamination of prudence and tight, unlike the Chernobyl incident in Russia nearly 25 years ago," he said.
