U.S. Helps Refrigerate Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant Reactor

Fresh water to cool the reactor

Sendai - Ship United States Navy (U.S.) help the Government of Japan in addressing the nuclear reactor at the Fukushima nuclear power plant. By bringing fresh water, the ship from Uncle Sam will help cooling reactor.
 
Efforts are made ​​to dampen fears of radiation continue to increaseand cleaning contaminated water in the plant radioactive. The workers at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant has been pumping sea water to stabilize the temperature of the reactor since the tsunami damage in the reactor coolant system on 11 March.
 
"nuclear power plant operator, Tokyo Electric Power Company (Tepco), rushed to replace seawater with fresh water for fear of salt from sea water would make the reactor to be corrosive," said a spokeswoman for Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency of Japan Hidehiko Nishiyama quoted as saying by the Associated Press, Saturday (26 / 3 / 2011).
 
Replacement of these strategies is the latest tactic by Tepco to restore reactor at nuclear power plants located 220 kilometers from Tokyo.
 
Radiation levels are slowly seeping from the NPP since the earthquake and tsunami. This is forcing the population residing within a radius of 20 kilometers from the nuclear power plant should be evacuated.
