Fukushima : 40% des premiers liquidateurs n'avaient pas de dosimètre. Un ouvrier qui avait travaillé sur le site de la centrale nucléaire de Fukushima, une semaine après la catastrophe de l’an dernier, s’est aperçu que son taux de globules blancs a fortement augmenté, rapporte le quotidien japonais l'Asahi Shimbun. Or il ne portait pas de dosimètre, et cet homme dans la trentaine s’inquiète de ce qu’un éventuel futur cancer soit reconnu comme maladie professionnelle. Tepco, l’opérateur de la centrale, indique que 7.766 personnes ont travaillé sur le site de Fukushima n° 1 entre le 15 mars et le 31 mars 2011, dont 3.077 (39,6%) n’avaient pas de dosimètre. Pendant ces 17 jours, seul un représentant de chaque groupe de travail portait un appareil, et tous les membres du groupe devaient reporter sur leur registre la même indication que sur son dosimètre. C’était une mesure d’urgence expliquée par le fait que la plupart des 5.000 dosimètres de la centrale avaient été emportés par le tsunami.

If you are one of the many people who believe that accidents at nuclear facilities are a thing of the past, think again. A friend passed along some information that France’s Tricastin nuclear facility has been temporarily closed after approximately 30 cubic meters (75 kilograms) of liquid containing unenriched uranium spilled from an overflowing reservoir.

The liquid seeped into the ground and also reached the Gaffiere and Lauzon rivers. The Tricastin facility, which is operated by Areva/Socatri, is located at Bollene in the south of France, 40 km from the tourist city Avignon. Tricastin has both nuclear reactors and a radioactive waste treatment plant. The leak occurred Monday night, but people in the affected areas were not told about the problem until 10:00 AM Tuesday. People in nearby towns have been warned not to drink water or eat fish caught in the rivers since Monday.

News day 3

Japan Scrambles to Avert Nuclear Meltdowns. Hosted2.ap. Day 2. Massive earthquake hits Japan. UPDATE 8: 9.48pm GMT Nuclear reactors shut down during today's massive earthquake in Japan. Work to stabilise three reactors at Fukushima Daiichi continues into the morning. The magnitude 8.9 quake hit at 2.46pm, centred offshore of the city of Sendai on the eastern cost of Honshu island. Serious secondary effects followed including a significant tsunami causing widespread destruction. The quake comes just two days after one of magnitude 7.3 also offshore in the same general region. The Japan Atomic Industry Forum (JAIF) issued a notice saying all reactors in the north-eastern part of Japan had shut down automatically. Tohoku Electric Power Company's Onogawa 1 suffered a fire in the non-nuclear turbine building which took eight hours to extinguish. A tsunami warning was issued for most of the Pacific Ocean, including Taiwan, but reactors there operated normally throughout.

Fukushima Daiichi Researched and written by World Nuclear News. Nuclear Crisis at Fukushima. As of 2:30 pm EST Friday 3/11/11: The massive earthquake off the northeast coast of Japan has caused a potentially catastrophic situation at one of Japan’s nuclear power plants. The situation is still evolving, but here is a preliminary assessment based on the facts as we currently understand them. The plant’s owner, Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), reported that at 2:46 p.m. local time (12:46 a.m. EST) “turbines and reactors of Tokyo Electric Power Company’s Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station Unit 1 … and Units 2 and 3 … automatically shut down due to the Miyagiken-oki Earthquake.” These reactors are 3 of the 6 operating reactors at the Fukushima I nuclear facility. All are boiling water reactors. Unit 1 has a rated output of 460 megawatts, and Units 2 and 3 each have a rated output of 784 megawatts.

TEPCO went on to state the shutdowns were caused by the loss of off-site power “due to malfunction of one out of two off-site power systems.” About the author: Dr. Japan earthquake and tsunami: State of emergency after nuclear power plant crippled. By Daily Mail Reporter Updated: 19:20 GMT, 12 March 2011 Pressure rises to 2.1 times normal levelExperts warn the situation 'could turn grave' Japanese nuclear officials were today fighting to contain a suspected radiation leak after an explosion at the Fukushima nuclear plant.

Several workers have been injured by the blast as they continue the struggle to contain radiation leaks at the crippled reactor. Thousands of people within a 12-mile radius of the Fukushima facility were evacuated as radiation rose to 1,000 times the safe level and pressure grew, fueling fears of an explosion. With growing tension at the plant 150 miles north of Tokyo, a second state of emergency was declared as pressure rose in two reactors at the facility. Earlier officials had proposed releasing radioactive vapour into the atmosphere in a bid to prevent an explosion after its cooling system failed.
