Fukushima Daiichi NPS Prompt Report 2013

Fukushima Daiichi NPS Prompt Report (Apr 06, 2013)Water Leak from the Underground Reservoir No.2 in Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station (Follow-up Information No.7)

This is follow-up information regarding the water leak from the underground reservoir No. 2 in Fukushima Daiichi NPS.

We are transferring the water from the reservoir No. 1 to No.2 using the pump and the four temporary pumps. To switch the pump to the reservoir No.6, we will stop the pump temporarily. We continue transferring the water using the temporary pumps to the reservoir No.1.

We are planning to continue transferring the water in the reservoir No.2 to No.1 using the four temporary pumps (Flow rate: Approx. 30 m3/h*2, 48 m3/h, 60 m3/h). It may take 2.5 days to transfer approx. 10,000 m3 of the water.

We are planning to transfer the water in the reservoir No.2 to No.6 using the pump (Flow rate: Approx. 40 m3/h). It may take 3.1 days to transfer approx. 3,000 m3 of the water.

It may take 3.1 days to transfer the water since the transfers will be operated in parallel.
