Circulation cooling system works again (?)

The newly installed reactor cooling system at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant has resumed working after a 5-hour suspension due to mechanical trouble.

The operator of the crippled plant, Tokyo Electric Power Company, TEPCO, says a French-made water-decontamination device, which is part of the cooling system, stopped automatically on Thursday afternoon. An alarm system was set off within 10 minutes.

TEPCO says after repairing the device and doing test runs, it resumed operating on Thursday evening.

The system that decontaminates and re-uses the plant's radioactive water is considered key to the stable cooling of the reactors.

Although the cooling system had stopped, the utility says the decontaminated water continued to pour into the reactors.

The company says the alarm device indicated the level of decontaminated water inside one tank was too low, and a gas exhaust had malfunctioned.

TEPCO is trying to find out why the alarm system was set off, and the cause of the other troubles.

Since its start on Monday, the cooling system has suffered a series of problems including leaky piping.

@Edano Tepco are trying but keystone cops did slapstick much better

If you enlarge the view on this photo there is a low trench in the dirt. This is between 3 and 4

@edano that is the reactor well though the sfp could be lower? typical tepco trick and a good indication that there is a problem if they bothered getting that published
by elainekirk 6/30/2011 9:41:00 PM

normally the levels are equal, but must not be. (?)
by Edano 6/30/2011 9:44:29 PM

@Edano I think the gate photo must be in that doc for a reason but i cannot find and explanation of the doc
by elainekirk 6/30/2011 9:45:33 PM

LOL. Did anyone see Radioguy's jellyfish article on the group site? :-)
by lillymunster 6/30/2011 9:46:05 PM

@Edano I wondered if they are filling an empty reactor well in the hope some goes into the sfp
by elainekirk 6/30/2011 9:47:09 PM

@lillymunster yeah it had been tweeted by simply I retweeted it on mine good way of getting news out is tempt them in with a funny and hope they start browsing the site

Added a photo gallery of the new #4 images to the group website.

@all Remembering "event" from 6/17...as pertains to water level drop in #4 SFP
by smoss 6/30/2011 9:50:26 PM

@smoss : well, steamshow means filling in water ...

@lillymunster brilliant linky ? or should I stop being lazy and go find :)

there is green water in reactor well, but sfp blue seems low.

@lillymunster I don't think we have this unit 1 pic www.tepco.co.jp
by elainekirk 6/30/2011 10:13:00 PM

@all Have to say "bye" for now...with a parting though...can't help but wonder about #4 SFP and the reactor core it holds...is it possible that we are still seeing episodes of spontaneous fission from the #4 SFP (of course when water level drops, then there becomes less of a moderator in the environment)?

@smoss flashes could be light arcs from electric power

Oh deary deary me we are supposed to believe that over 36hrs there is no change onsite but massive changes offsite www.tepco.co.jp
