Core Cooling System Working at Two Fukushima Reactors - IEEE Spectrum

Core Cooling System Working at Two Fukushima Reactors - IEEE Spectrum

Editor's Note: J ohn Boyd is an IEEE Spectrum contributor reporting from Kawasaki, Japan. This is part of IEEE Spectrum's ongoing coverage of Japan's earthquake and nuclear emergency . Six months after the Fukushima Dai-1 nuclear incident began, Tokyo Electric Power Co. (TEPCO) is still struggling to gain control of the crippled reactors by cooling them to safe temperature. Yoshinori Moriyama, deputy director-general of the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency (NISA) and in charge of nuclear accident measures, told the foreign press on 7 September TEPCO has begun using another cooling system the “core spray line” of the No. 3 reactor to help bring the temperature down in that unit. The core spray line is a part of the Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS), a collection of sub-systems that can be called on in emergencies to cool a reactor when normal cooling operations are l...
