The reactor number two in the Fukushima nuclear plant in Japan again today to be unstable despite the injection of saltwater into the secondary container to try to cool the core and prevent a merger that emit radioactivity. According to government spokesman Yukio Edan, the reactor "is not yet stabilized, but there has been a dramatic increase in ionization.
The operator of the plant, Tokyo Electric Power (TEPCO), said that during the early pressure was reduced within the housing that protects the heart and hopes to have raised the water level after the fuel rods remain partially uncovered yesterday. If the core starts to melt, it will cause an emergency situation due to leakage of radiation outside.
The Fukushima reactor number two yesterday suffered a failure in one of the ten valves affecting the cooling system, similar to what happened before they exploded reactor one and three of the same plant after an earthquake of magnitude 9 Friday. TEPCO said last night that the radiation emitted microsieverts reached 3,310, six times the legally permitted level.
The plant operators are now trying to open more valves in the hope that one can enter salt water again to cool the fuel rods and stable operation of the reactor core.
