On January 29, the Agency for Natural Resources & Energy (ANRE), part of Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI), released a progress report on decommissioning work being carried out at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station.<\/p>\n
In connection with the removal of spent fuel from the Unit 3 spent fuel pool, work was completed in December to remove the control console of a refueling machine from the pool that had been accidentally dropped last summer. Additional protective boards were installed during the period from January 14 to 20, as a preventive measure.<\/p>\n
To determine the position of fuel debris in the Unit 1 reactor, TEPCO will undertake measurements using muon observation technology. Also known as the \u201cmuon permeation method,\u201d which uses cosmic ray muons, the technology has already had small-scale demonstration tests carried out.<\/p>\n
The measuring equipment will be installed outside the reactor building on the northwest side. Measuring should begin in early February if all things go well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
