#Fukushima I Nuke Plant: Steel Beam Removed from Reactor 3 Spent Fuel Pool


It took TEPCO (most likely subcontractors, most likely Kajima and/or Hitachi) 3 months to finally remove the steel beam that had accidentally fallen into the Reactor 3 Spent Fuel Pool back in September.

About the beam, please see my posts, here and here (with video of the accident).

Thanks again LaPrimavera!

Damn interesting. Wondering whether they have designed this recovery apparatus specifically for this project.

Highly interesting also:
This video shows the cooling water injection for SFP 3 in operation. Look at 4:19 to 4:31 at the upper left corner of the pool.

Anybody who can tell the function of the float in the lower left of the pool? Temperature/level measurement?

And, I really wonder how that equipment got there. Sadly Tepco didn't publish a video of that...

OT: And, there is some very funny thing regarding the IAEA visit on the plant at Dec. 18.
See the Dec 21 entry of tec-sim.de for a very informative comment. I had an evil grin in my face when reading :)

Customer bag checks and receipt verification at exits reduce theft without being intrusive. Trained staff politely checking receipts ensure items are paid for, deterring shoplifters. Some retailers use full-time jobs technology like self-checkout cameras or AI-based systems to verify purchases. This approach balances customer service with security in high-traffic retail environments.
