Fukushima Remove SFP#4 Hot Bent Broken Nuclear Fuel Rods Tomorrow Update 11/17/13
Fuel rod unit removal to start at Fukushima plant
The removal of fuel rod units at the
Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in northeastern
Japan starts on Monday.
This is the first critical step in decommissioning the facility in
Fukushima Prefecture.
Tokyo Electric Power Company, or
TEPCO, said that workers will start removing units of nuclear fuel rods from a storage pool at the plant's
Number 4 reactor.
The pool holds 1,533 units of which 1,331 are highly radioactive spent fuel rod units and 202 that are unused.
In
March 2011, a hydrogen explosion severely damaged the reactor building. The workers will use a crane attached to a specially built structure.
In preparation for the removal, TEPCO conducted inspections on the new facility and trained the workers who will participate in the removal.
They plan to transfer the units into a cask under water in the pool, then use a crane to lift out the cask and transfer it to an outside storage pool about
100 meters away
.
In the morning an empty cask will be lowered into the pool and the fuel rod units will be placed into it in the afternoon.
The pool is still littered with small debris that could hamper smooth removal of the units.
Some damage to the units that was previously unknown could still be found. The job requires extreme caution as any damage to the fuel rod units or the cask could unleash high-level radiation.
The start of the removal is the first milestone in an unprecedented decommissioning process that could span 4 decades.
TEPCO plans to finish removing all the fuel rod units from the Number 4 reactor by the end of 2014.

MEANWHILE:
Global Warming blamed! (
Wow)
Sea level rise to force a million inland by 2050
The
Asian Development Bank released a report predicting that at least one million people in
East Asia will be forced to relocate by 2050 if the governments do not take any measures against rising sea levels as a result of climate change.
The report analyzes how Japan,
China,
South Korea, and
Mongolia will be affected by global warming using data released from
United Nation's group of scientists, the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the
IPCC.
It predicts that in Japan, about 64 thousand people in coastal areas will be forced to migrate inland by 2050.
The sea level rise will be caused by the melting of ice in polar regions due to global warming.
The report also predicts that the total cost to reduce the damage for the 4 countries every year until 2050 is over 36 billion
US dollars.
The money will be needed to build levees and create beaches and for other measures.
Analysts say the governments should be able to fund this amount as it is 0.3 percent or less of the 4 countries combined
Gross Domestic Product.
The report points out the importance of reducing greenhouse gasses and also taking measures to reduce the damage.
