@joniver, this is hype in my opinion. Anytime a power-generating turbine trips, steam is generated and must be released. The steam may contain hydrogen which can be eliminated with recombiners. I don't know whether such system was installed at North Anna. They usually are. The reactors there are PWRs. The hydrogen the operator released must be in the secondary loop that does not flow through the RPV. Effluent radioactivity is monitored. If radioactivity escapes, the operator must notify the NRC. Hence, we would know about it. No Fukushima-style venting occurred at North Anna. The NRC inspection of the plant is underway because, as Dean pointed out earlier, not all piping may be seismically up to par, and the government wishes to check for possible damage.

East Japan to return to full power Power restrictions will be lifted in eastern Japan including Tokyo early September which is two weeks earlier than initially scheduled as demand for electricity eases due to a cooler weather and improved supply and demand, government said.

The lifting is also timely as some utilities are reported to resume their operations after having been suspended due to heavy rains, increasing the chances of TEPCO to adequately provide supply of electricity.

The government issued July 1 an order requiring a reduction of power consumption by companies in the Tokyo and Tohoku regions. In the said decree, major firms which may have violated the required cut down would be imposed fines of up to a million yen. The restriction, scheduled up to Sept. 22, came on account of the critical situation of power supply as a result of the nuclear crisis triggered by the disastrous March 11 quake and tsunami.

The advance lifting of the order also seeks to improve conditions on reconstruction efforts in the disaster-hit areas, the government added.

While the government has lifted the restrictions on power usage, it continues to call on households and businesses to trim down their electricity consumption by 15 percent until the end of September.

Even with the lifting of the order, leading automakers would continue implementing power-cutting measures for the meantime, said the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association. ht.ly

Suggesting that nuclear power is not necessary. Japan can provide enough energy. Of course, they still need to seek replacement energy of renewables.

@Edano TY! :)

Outline of the reactor building covering plan of Unit 1 at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear
Power Station
１．The purpose of cover for the reactor building
A cover for a reactor building is installed for the purpose of preventing
diffusion of radioactive materials (radioactive materials discharged from the
reactor, water vapor from spent fuel pool, rubbles and dust with radioactive
materials, etc) and shutting off rain water into the reactor building. Therefore, we
are planning to cover the damaged reactor building with highly airtight material.
The installment of the cover is a temporary emergency measure until a
midterm measure is initiated. Under a severe working environment, we are
planning to install the cover as early as possible. www.tepco.co.jp

@Edano yes, I guess noone can tell- much has never been done before, trying to come up with good solutions. At least it isn't the end of all problems, like it could sound in the norwegian newspaper.

@lillymunster , if there was a Fuku-style radioactivity release at North Anna, me, my family and hundreds of thousands of others would be in motels somewhere at least 50 miles away from Mineral..

@Edano Interessting video- to see how they will built the new sakofag in Chernobyl.

@Mona , if they install fliters for the contaminated air funneled out of the tent, they may catch some radioactivity.

@Edano This was a more complicated construction, but then it are supposed to last also. It didn't impress me like the Japanese construction, but it was also many words I did not understand, I think it maybe is time to say goodnight for me. ;) @Peter Melzer That was uplifting, let's hope that will help. Good night folks. Your're all so great, thank you-
keep up. :)
