Injuries or Contamination at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant
Based on a press release from the Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary dated 16 March 2011, the IAEA can confirm the following information about human injuries or contamination at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.
Please note that this list provides a snapshot of the latest information made available to the IAEA by Japanese authorities. Given the fluid situation at the plant, this information is subject to change.
Injuries
- 2 TEPCO employees have minor injuries
- 2 subcontractor employees are injured, one person suffered broken legs and one person whose condition is unknown was transported to the hospital
- 2 people are missing
- 2 people were ‘suddenly taken ill’
- 2 TEPCO employees were transported to hospital during the time of donning respiratory protection in the control centre
- 4 people (2 TEPCO employees, 2 subcontractor employees) sustained minor injuries due to the explosion at unit 1 on 11 March and were transported to the hospital
- 11 people (4 TEPCO employees, 3 subcontractor employees and 4 Japanese civil defense workers) were injured due to the explosion at unit 3 on 14 March
Radiological Contamination
- 17 people (9 TEPCO employees, 8 subcontractor employees) suffered from deposition of radioactive material to their faces, but were not taken to the hospital because of low levels of exposure
- One worker suffered from significant exposure during ‘vent work,’ and was transported to an offsite center
- 2 policemen who were exposed to radiation were decontaminated
- Firemen who were exposed to radiation are under investigation
The IAEA continues to seek information from Japanese authorities about all aspects of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant.
That caught fire, resulting in a situation that is "very, very serious," he told CNN. He said the next step may involve nuclear plant workers taking heroic acts. Asked to be more specific, he said, "This is a situation where people may be called in to sacrifice their lives. ... It's very difficult for me to contemplate that but it's, it may have reached that point."
ich weiss nicht mehr welche tv-station es war, aber es wurde berichtet dass anscheinend nur noch freiwillige und TAGESLÖHNER die akws betreten.

(was mich wirklich wütend macht ist, dass die verantwortlichen im management und politik wieder straffrei davonkommen werden)
das trifft übrigens auch auf die grossen aktienbesitzer von tepco zu
die verlieren "nur" den wert ihrer aktien - die gewinne der letzten jahre dürfen sie behalten (zahlen dürfen der staat und die heimatlos gewordene anreiner)
Wir haben es ja öfters gehört von Freunden der Kernkraft. Auch hier! Dies kann kein Tschernobyl werden, weil die Reaktoren kein Graphit enthalten,was damals zu dem 10-tägigen Feuer führte, Kamineffekt und so.Es zeigt sich, dass dies nicht stimmt.
Denn:
Although Tokyo Electric said it also continued to deal with cooling system failures and high pressures at half a dozen of its 10 reactors in the two Fukushima complexes, fears mounted about the threat posed by the pools of water where years of spent fuel rods are stored.
At the 40-year-old Fukushima Daiichi unit 1, where an explosion Saturday destroyed a building housing the reactor, the spent fuel pool, in accordance with General Electric’s design, is placed above the reactor. Tokyo Electric said it was trying to figure out how to maintain water levels in the pools, indicating that the normal safety systems there had failed, too. Failure to keep adequate water levels in a pool would lead to a catastrophic fire, said nuclear experts, some of whom think that unit 1’s pool may now be outside.
“That would be like Chernobyl on steroids,” said Arnie Gundersen, a nuclear engineer at Fairewinds Associates and a member of the public oversight panel for the Vermont Yankee nuclear plant, which is identical to the Fukushima Daiichi unit 1.
People familiar with the plant said there are seven spent fuel pools at Fukushima Daiichi, many of them densely packed.
Gundersen said the unit 1 pool could have as much as 20 years of spent fuel rods, which are still radioactive.

Sollten die Brennelemente in Brand geraten, dann werden sie z.B Cäsium-137 in gasförmiger Form (bei diesen Temperaturen) an die Atmospäre abgeben.
In Tschernobyl waren damals 180t Brennstoff. In Fukushima sind es hunderte Tonnen mehr, in den Reaktoren & Abklingbecken.

Three of the six reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant are now relatively stable, officials say.
"The first unit is relatively stable, for now," Hidehiko Nishiyama, a senior official at the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Administration.
He said reactors 5 and 6 were being powered by a shared diesel generator.

Health and nuclear experts emphasize that radiation in the plume will be diluted as it travels and, at worst, would have extremely minor health consequences in the United States, even if hints of it are ultimately detectable. In a similar way, radiation from the Chernobyl disaster in 1986 spread around the globe and reached the West Coast of the United States in 10 days, its levels measurable but minuscule.
Nicht nur in Reaktor 4 scheinen die ausgebrannten Brennstäbe immer mehr in den Fokus zu rücken, denen zunächst kaum Beachtung geschenkt worden war. Mal wieder ein Beispiel dafür, woran es in der Atomindustrie hapert: Es wurde ja schon vor anderthalb Jahrzehnten darauf aufmerksam gemacht, dass man solchen Müll nicht direkt am Reaktor lagern sollte. Vor fünf Jahren erneut eine eindringliche Warnung von amerikanischen Wissenschaftlern. Passiert ist nichts, obwohl die Kosten einer Korrektur dieser Konstruktionsmängel überschaubar gewesen wären. Mal sehen, ob man Tepco-Manager schlussendlich zur Verantwortung ziehen wird.
