MADRID. .- Ecologists in Action has warned that the situation in reactors 1 and 2 of the central Fukushima (Japan) is "very serious" and that the dose of radioactivity that must endure the plant workers will increase stress and cause "errors ". The nuclear plant has six reactors Fuskushima boiling water in operation and two more under construction, also in boiling water.
Reactors 1 and 2, suffering from serious problems, became operational on 26 March 1971 and July 18, 1974, respectively, and have electrical power of 460 MW and 784 MW. This association has pointed out that I Fukushima reactor is "similar" to the nuclear power Garoña (Burgos). In the central boiling water steam is extracted from the containment dome some pipes that run through several central units to reach the turbines, where electricity is generated.
The stability of the reactor depends strongly that control the amount of vapor in the nucleus, which depends on the pressure and temperature. "Multiplied by a thousand" So, stressed that the work of operators is "very difficult" because the level of radioactivity has been "multiplied by a thousand" in the control room, so that workers are performing the operations can be receiving radiation doses above the permitted level, thereby increasing the stress and the possibility of errors.
Ecologists in Action has indicated that it has been necessary to evacuate 46,000 people living within a radius of 20 km around the plant, while the Nuclear Emergency Planning of the Spanish plants performances only provide around 10 kilómetrosde nuclear radius . "All this adds to the problems caused by the earthquake.
After this accident the most sense for the Japanese government is to abandon the design of new reactors and proceed with the phased closure of 55 nuclear reactors operating in Japan," he highlighted.
