    VIENNA - The U.N. nuclear watchdog is expected this week to issue its most detailed report yet on research in Iran seen as geared to developing atomic bombs, heightening international suspicions of Tehran's agenda and stoking Middle East tensions. www.reuters.com

  • @Peter Melzer iaea are a body I cannot trust not to have written a 'report' that is nothing more than a warmongers charter, I don't think iran are blue eyed innocents but neither do I believe the report will be unbiased

  • TEPCO begins removing cesium from spent fuel pool

    The operator of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant has begun removing radioactive cesium from water in the spent fuel pool of one of the damaged reactors.

    Tokyo Electric Power Company installed a device to remove cesium inside the cooling water of the spent fuel pool at the No.2 reactor. The device became operational on Sunday.

    The concentration of radioactive cesium remains high in the cooling water of the spent fuel pools following meltdowns at the No. 1, 2, and 3 reactors.

    TEPCO has been removing radioactive material from the reactors' cooling water since July, but the No.2 reactor became the first where the procedure took place in the spent fuel pool.
    TEPCO aims to reduce the concentration of radioactive material in the water from one-hundredth to one- thousandth within about a month.

    There are fears that the metal pipes and walls of the spent fuel pools will erode, as seawater was used after the accident to cool down the spent fuel pools of the No. 2, 3 and 4 reactors. TEPCO has already begun removing salt from the water in the pool at the No.4 reactor, and plans to do the same at the pool of the No.2 reactor.

    The company said removal of radioactive material from the pool water is necessary as a step toward removing salt. The salt concentration of the pools is not particularly high -- about one-tenth of the saltwater -- but erosion caused by salt may cause holes to form.

  • @Edano that has got to be one of the most futile exercises how can they remove it if it got there from leaking fuel then surely...

  • Hi All: I was just curious with the date 6 days before the quake. Don't recall with all the info if this shipment was ever mentioned.

  • @MaryW I have a notion it went to a plant but need make sure
    by elainekirk 11/7/2011 12:21:29 AM

  • @MaryW i think it was returned because rokkasho was inoperable. it arrived again in july or august, if my memory is correct.

  • I'm sure any current nuclear shipments may be a bit difficult to find, since security issues are very tight on these shipments. But there certainly has to be other maritime companies involved too. I'll research it a bit.

  • Low level waste goes from Genkai to Rokkasho

     Kyushu Electric Power Co. Genkai Nuclear Power Station (city limits) on December 6, released to the press to work low-level radioactive waste shipped out from the power plant. This work was published nine years. The waste is loaded onto cargo ships, sailing on the 7th. Burial will be disposed at the center of the low-level radioactive waste disposal in the village of Rokkasho, Aomori Prefecture Japan Nuclear Fuel.
     Paper or cloth was shipped out with the work of the Unit No. 3 and 4 Genkai, the hardened cement and metal parts, etc.. Transported from the wharf in the trailer building a shipping container packed with 55 to 200 440-liter drums. Continuously using the shipping tanker 待Chi構Eta crane.
     Transport ships sailed around noon after 7 days, from Kyushu Electric Power 川内原, the Port Mutsu-Ogawara, Aomori Prefecture 16 Shikoku Electric Ikata stop by the primary. Rokkasho is land transportation to the village.
     Transport of low-level waste from nuclear power plants in this 11th Genkai. Genkai nuclear power plant in a year, about 2500 duty drums emissions. The cellar, which has been stored for about 90 003 Thousand September 30 Thousand allowable number of approximately 90 004.
