The staff at the Fukushima nuclear plant has come to be evacuated on Wednesday after new black smoke detected in the reactor 3, the most dangerous of all to contain plutonium, as reported by the company TEPCO. Hours later, smoke began to fade, according to NHK. "We do not know if the smoke comes from the turbine building and the reactor containment building," said a spokesman for the company that owns the plant.
"Employees were evacuated from the control room of reactor 3 and 4," he said, but could not specify the number of people working there. Radiation levels around the reactor are too high. Before the smoke was detected in 435 microsivierts were at the time and after starting to expel smoke fell to 283, although still very high.
The Ministry of Science of Japan has reported Wednesday that the levels of radioactivity detected in a radius of 40 km around the plant exceed 400 times the usual. The authorities have registered 43,000 becquerels of radioactive iodine and cesium radioactive 4,700 of only five inches deep in the soil at this distance from the plant, west-northwest, as recorded by state television NHK.
According to these figures, Keigo Endo, a professor at the University of Gunma, has indicated that the radioactive iodine and cesium 430 and 47 times beyond the normal limits of radiation, respectively. Still, the government spokesman Yukio Edan, has ensured that there is no reason to expand the evacuation zone of 20 kilometers.
A concerned neighbors of the plant were advised to keep windows closed. The spokesman said radiation is constantly changing, depending on wind direction, making it very difficult to accurately measure the radioactivity coming from the nuclear plant. Last night, the plant operators were able to restore power to the control panel of the unit, which would trigger certain functions and measure the temperature and pressure of the installation.
Fukushima The situation has been complicated in recent hours, though progress to bring electricity to the reactors. The engineers are still struggling to cool the reactors at the Fukushima nuclear plant, seriously affected by the earthquake and subsequent tsunami on 11 March, and try to keep under control the possible contamination of food and water.
Although this Tuesday managed to reach power lines to the reactors, the tasks had to be suspended to check the temperature of reactor number 1 had reached 400 º C. In addition, Hidehiko Nishiyama, a spokesman for the Nuclear Safety Council and Industry, said the turbine of unit 2 have been found high levels of radiation, up to 500 millisievert per hour, which is holding on with the job.
On Monday, the reactor 3, the most corrupt of all, again gave problems also detected a plume of black smoke. Staff was also evacuated, and later controlled the smoke, although he also added another column in the reactor number two.
