The flooding forced Tepco to temporarily stop the water purification system

Tokyo Electric Power Co., said Sunday the temporarily halted to decontaminate the radioactive water in the Fukushima Prefecture Fukushima Daiichi nuclear-a crippled power plant after the hold were around 50 litres of contaminated water and chemicals used in the system when the ban was leaking part broke the system.The utility is used to cool the water, the criteria for the acceptance of IFRS 1-3 reactors in the plant, and even the design right, during the provisional suspension, was to continue on surface water, which had already had their, it said the cooling function. "Leaked contaminated water, the concentration of radioactive substances was not at the levels of which cause problems for workers ' exposure to radiation, "a Tepco official said.The leak occurred in the device, if the chemicals are used to condense and precipitate radioactive substances, contaminated water, test substances are injected from the hose pipe, through which the water is to pass along the polluted Tepco. The part of the plastic, causing chemicals and broke the contaminated water to leak, the company said part of the French Areva SA, developed by the section, add the employees will be replaced by the part of steel together, and continues to the water treatment system in operation.The chemicals, which are not toxic, Tepco said.The smooth operation of the treatment system, whose purpose is to eliminate the highly radioactive compensated power station contaminated water from the huge volumes, it is essential that the nuclear crisis, such as a water cooled turbine Tepco recycles the damaged reactor.A reactor at the premises of the contaminated water quantities, including the liquid-coolant leaking from damaged or corrupted, it is possible to control the activities of the competition for the rest of the blocks full of plant for the production of groups of goods, but the storage location are nearing full capacity.
