Crippled Japan nuclear plant hit by power cut (Cached) 19.3.2013 Asian Age: International
Engineers at Fukushima today partly succeeded in getting cooling systems back online after a power outage underlined the still-precarious state of the nuclear plant two years after the tsunami. Equipment on pools used to keep used fuel cool — necessary to prevent any spontaneous nuclear reactions — lost their power supply at 7 pm local time yesterday, operator TEPCO said. By today afternoon, one of the cooling systems was back up and two others were likely to be online later in the day, the company said. Even used nuclear fuel becomes dangerous if its temperature is allowed to rise uncontrollably to the point where a self-sustaining critical reaction begins, causing a meltdown. TEPCO, which has previously been criticised for not telling the public or press exactly what is happening at the atomic plant, said there was no imminent danger, although they admitted they do not know what caused the fault. “Electricity has been cut to pools used to cool spent fuel at reactors 1, 3 and 4” as well ...

Fukushima two years on: the largest nuclear decommissioning finally begins 6.3.2013 The Guardian -- Front Page
Question marks remain about the plant's safety, but the estimated $100bn, 40-year clean-up is now underway Radiation levels in the abandoned communities near Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant have fallen 40% in the past year. Inside the wrecked facility, construction workers rush to complete state-of-the-art equipment that will remove dozens of dangerous radioactive nuclides from cooling water. Soon, a steel shield will be driven into the seabed to prevent contamination from the plant from leaking into the Pacific Ocean. Almost two years after a deadly tsunami crashed into the plant, crippling its backup power supply and triggering the world's worst nuclear crisis for a quarter of a century, the gravest danger posed by Fukushima Daiichi has passed. But for all the signs of progress since the Guardian visited the atomic facility a year ago , the biggest, and most complex, nuclear decommissioning operation the industry has ever seen has barely begun. The pipes, cables and other ...
