Suppression Pool News Today

>> well, in the words that go with that the ministry of defense says the containment vessel is at 262 degrees. and thats 50 degrees above the boiling point of water. thats the containment vessel thats believed to have a crack in it. so water cannot exist inside it because its at atmospheric pressure as a result of the crack. it tells me the suppression pool is likely dry, and thats the one i would be most worried about, because it seems to me that what youre seeing there is super heated air with...

The steam that would be released from a large break was supposed to be condensed and -- by the water in the suppression pool, in the large structure. and the concern was that if the structure failed as a result of these unconsidered loads, you would lose containment, which they may have continue at one of the fukushima plants now. and i would also lose the source of cooling water for the reactor core. so the -- the thing that was of potential trouble is you could have a core meltdown. an uncontr...

By this company in which they were trying to explain what the two of you, jim and you were speculating on. and they do say now that there was a sound of an explosion in the suppression pool inside the chamber. and they do say that workers are being evacuated though 50 workers will remain on site to try to carry out the continuing cooling operations. obviously, number two reactor is something much different than the other two explosions has happened which is now prompted the evacuations. and as y...

Rods had been fully exposed. the radioactive readings have gone up, and they have evacuated operators not directly involve with the most urgent of the evacuations there. the damage was done in the suppression pool. you have a nuclear reactor, you have the rods right near, radio. you need to keep the temperatures cool to keep from having a meltdown. theyre fully exposed. that raises the risk of a full meltdown. now there is a problem in the suppression pool, evacuation of the operators being carr...

>> we are having the same sort of technical issues you are having. the winds picked up. we have heard of the potential of the radiation release. the suppression pool that you spoke about moments ago and that news just come in. the government has been worried about for a number of days at more than just a location where the explosion took place today. that is definitely a significant development as we know, as we have been reporting. they have been pumping sea water in to try and help as a desper...

Welcome back, if youre just joining us, heres the latest news you need to know right now. first the break news. just announced theres been another explosion. >> translator: this morning, from 6:00 to 6:15, there was a big impact or explosive impact. around 6:14. we heard a strange sound around the suppression pool and the pressure changed. the control area may have experienced some kind of problem. >> that problem in the number two reactor, the number two

This container vessel is the last line of defense to prevent the radioactive waste from being release to the outside. and i think that explosion occurred somewhere at around pressure suppression room. suppression pool is one of the cooling systems for the reactor. water is contaminated radioactive substances. so if any crack is formed around this portion, that means that the radioactive substances will be released outside. that is why very high level of radiation was observed outside. thats why ...

You can explain it. the backup cooling system failed. what theyre going to try, they say, is to bring sea water in to try to bring down the temperature of the reactor back to safe levels. have you heard of that strategy? >> well, im hearing it now, thats kind of in my mind, what they were probably doing is pulling water from whats called the compression pool, but whats the diesel generators they have no way to cool down the water in that suppression pool, so as they run it through the core, its ...
