iaea director-general days of

Japan's self-defense forces 18 continue to be blessed in the island first nuclear reactors "cooling", nuclear power plant area radiation levels drop. However, Japan atomic energy security guards courtyard that night nuclear accident ascension level.

 

On the same day, Japanese prime minister JianZhiRen commitment to international public more nuclear accident information.

 

Continue water-jet

 

18 afternoon, self-defense forces once again to f island fire unit 3 first nuclear power plant water for about 40 minutes. Japan's defense ministry said, six fire truck ordinal homework, the total water quantity sprayed around for 50 tons.

 

Tokyo electric power company introduces, with a car borrow staff since the U.S. military fire sprinkler homework in.

 

Militia 17 out helicopters and fire trucks for the first unit 3 cooling. Japanese broadcasting association television (NHK) reports, self-defense forces are concerned the lack of unit 3 fuel rods too low, still reservoirs decision 18 continue to water this unit.

 

Considering the 3 reactor are constantly released hydrogen may explode, and units scattered fragments, near the government and militia decided to use fire truck water in turn way. Operation process, operation personnel need not go out.

 

Aviation self-defense forces chief of metallocene YanQi reporter, told the media in the militia members watering operations by radiation for several baekho sepher about. This radiation level does not affect homework, but he will be based on expert advice decide whether to continue execution water-jet task.

 

Tokyo at the disaster 18 out about 140 firefighters, 30 cars spraying car, water supply vehicles fold first nuclear power plant and other vehicles, was scheduled to support the implementation of homework, but because water equipment failure cancelled.

 

To assess

 

Japan's chief cabinet secretary, wild luckily male 18 branch, said unit 3 this afternoon in self-defense forces after spraying water vapor, show the water out the giants already into fuel rods pools.

 

Tokyo electric power, according to data released after spraying unit 3 radiation levels in northwest from 500 meters per hour of homework 3484 micro before dropped to ziph, 3339 micro sepher). However, Tokyo electric power senior management personnel said, after further analyzed data to determine whether it is a valid spraying.

 

Branch wild said, and no. 3 and no. 4 units fuel rods, compared the giants pool of unit 1 fuel rods now constitute the giants have a lower risk of pool, but the government is considering a request firefighters to water unit no. 1.

 

The navy, meanwhile, water cooling Tokyo electric installation lines, strive for 19 restore to the no. 1 and 2 # unit power supply, restart reactor cooling system. Staff have in neighboring unit 1 is installed inside an office switchboard, trying to put cable connected via unit 1 to 2 units of the transformer.

 

Atomic energy security guards court spokesman xishan English "readers (transliteration) said, nuclear power station crews hope 20 recovery before the end of units 3 and 4 - power supply. But Tokyo electric power executives said, high radiation levels may affect the progress.

 

In addition, Tokyo electric power said, don't rule out using concrete "sealed" reactor could, but now should priority for reactor cooled.

 

Commitment transparent

 

18 late, atomic energy security guards court according to "international nuclear event classification table", from the first nuclear accident grade 4 promoted to grade 5, and the three mile island nuclear power station in 1979 America nuclear leakage accident quite, below the 1986 chernobyl nuclear accident Soviet union level 7.

 

Atomic energy security guards court officials said, was to make this decision, because 1 to 3 units may be partially meltdown nuclear fuel, and radiation substance continue to leak.

 

18 is the seventh day after the quake. JianZhiRen that night in the press conference admit, first optimistic about the nuclear power plant. He told people, the government in a short time for control,hello yangwu is headed in this direction diligently, Tokyo electric power employees, militia members, firefighters and other persons involved in emergency workers "is risking your life".
