Update 18:00(CET)\/16:00(UTC)\/01:00(JST)<\/strong><\/p>\n

There isn’t much new in the NISA <\/a>and JAIF<\/a> reports so I won’t write up the status of the reactors now.<\/p>\n

The pressure in the number 1 reactor pressure vessel continues climbing, its now up to 700kPa(about a tenth of the normal operating pressure). But containment pressure is stable at 150kPa and temperature in feed water nozzle is\u00a0slowly\u00a0declining.<\/p>\n

The big news of the day is that TEPCO will dump some radioactive water into the sea<\/a> in order to make room for higher activity water from reactor number 2. I haven’t seen any breakdown on the isotopes found in the water intended to be flushed. IAEA writes this<\/p>\n

TEPCO has estimated that the potential additional annual dose to a member of the public would be approximately 0.6 millisieverts (mSv), if they ate seaweed and seafood caught, from near the plant, every day for a year.<\/em><\/p>\n

Quite a small dose(a bit more than one tenth of \u00a0what a normal Swede gets in a year from background radiation) that won’t have any measurable health\u00a0consequences. I wonder how large it is at all compared to what is leaking\u00a0continuously\u00a0into the sea.<\/p>\n

There is no luck in finding the leak that is pumping out all the highly active water from the number 2 reactor. NISA has released a new overview on the ducts and tunnels connecting everything.<\/p>\n
