On day six of the Great Fear, says Washington and, in fact, Paris, Tokyo has so far concealed the truth. What happened then, and what can still happen in the very center of Fukushima Daiichi? What and how much information is "privileged" the government of Tokyo, the National Agency for Nuclear Safety (the Nisa), the operator of (the TEPCO, Tokyo Electric Power Company) did not involve the world? SLAP THE AMERICAN fist on the table wrought by the Americans is the history of yesterday.
But in Vienna, on Tuesday evening, the Japanese Yukia Amano, director of the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency), put aside all diplomacy: "We need more information, more details, faster communication ". In the same hours, the Russian Ioulia Andreev, one of the specialists who worked in the "off" the monster of Chernobyl, is a brutal frankness.
"I know from experience - said to Reuters - that the Japanese authorities are in a state of quiet panic. Their words and their actions, like those of the IAEA depends on atomic industry, which requires discipline and bureaucracy." A "truth" Kuni Yogo, who worked for the Japan Science Technology Agency, declines on the New York Times in an even more dryly: "The Japanese government and TEPCO are revealing only what they deem necessary." It is a fact that the agony of the four reactors in Fukushima is today not only and not so much alarmed, acknowledged in an accident in the making.
But the gradual unveiling of a truth that the Japanese government and TEPCO already sensed in the early hours of the disaster, but stubbornly trying to conceal. In the hope that those reactors could come back under control before the world began to be afraid. EMERGENCY PRECAUTIONARY it would be appropriate to go back to 19:46, Tokyo time, on March 11.
They spent five hours after the quake off the Pacific but less than four by the tsunami. The TEPCO knows that the cooling systems of reactors 1, 2 and 3 are out of Fukushima. It warned of the risk associated with a prolonged overheating of their fuel. The TEPCO has a history of significant opacity.
In 2002, he admitted that he forged in the 90s and 80s, the safety test of its power plants (among them those of Fukushima). In 2007, he lied about the extent of a radioactive leak from the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa plant after an earthquake. Also on 11 March, does not shine for loquacity. Dry so inform the Government of "the problem of cooling the reactor." But the fact, in the words he pronounced at 19.46 Yukio Edan, a spokesman for Japanese Prime Minister, does not even appear in the background.
"It was declared a nuclear emergency as a precaution - he explains - There is no radiation leak. The evacuation line is 3 kilometers from the site. "During the night, the tones are even more reassuring. Because if it is true that government sources suggest at 21.55 already" a first radiation leak "from the center of 1 and 27 morning, the prefecture of Fukushima announced that the afternoon of March 12 "cooling systems of reactors will be operating again." STEP LEVEL 4 In fact, the night between 11 and 12, the system knows that the TEPCO reactor cooling has no chance of resuming life.
To the extent that on the morning of 12, the manager warns that the reactors 1 and 2, the water level covering the fuel rods fell for the gradual evaporation and that " a release of radioactive material is possible. "The news is the basis for the controlled venting of steam into the atmosphere of radioactive hydrogen, which lowers the pressure in the reactor.
maneuver that the government authorizes. Together with the pump in the cooling system of sea water and boron. There is an initial explosion that uncovers the building of the reactor 1. But in Vienna, the IAEA, based on the information coming from Tokyo, reassures. On the evening of 12, when Japan is now the morning of 13, a press announces that "the Nisa has classified the incident level 4 of the INES scale.
With local consequences. " THE FRENCH nervousness there is an objective contradiction between the assurances of Tokyo and the measures that the government has on the ground. On 13 March, the evacuation area around the center rises to 20 km and begins distributing iodine pills to the population.
While at 11 am on March 14 explosion shakes the building of the reactor 3. This shows that in Fukushima, a distance of three days now, cooling operations of the reactors have not produced any effect. There would have to revise its opinion on the classification of the incident. But the Japanese authorities do not backtrack.
Even on the morning of March 15, when two explosions are released from reactors 2:04. Prime Minister Naoto Khan is informed by the press and public, shows his fury with TEPCO: "I wonder what the hell is going on." Then he adds: "The risk of radiation leak is growing." THE TRUTH IS A COCK AND Paris, then, to decide to pierce the bubble of dissimulation.
The level of radiation registered in the Central March 15 - the first to be released - 400 millisievert documenting the time. Two hundred times the dose that a human being naturally absorbs within one year. What's more, the French, on the basis of their information (have a team of Civil Protection in Sendai), believe they can safely say that the crux and fuel of at least two of the three reactors is corrupt "(a fact that the Japanese will confirm Only 24 hours later).
The explosion of the building housing the reactor 4, in correspondence with the decay of the spent fuel pool adds a new element of absolute criticality. That, as it was possible to predict the disaster now extends even to those reactors that were also in maintenance at the time of the earthquake.
"It's a step in level 6." It's the truth, in fact. What, now, even the Japanese are beginning to admit.
