Inside the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant - LONG DOCUMENTARY in Tokyo Japan#1011 | Tokyo
Information | History | View | Sightseeing | Video
Step inside one of the world most radioactive and dangerous places. The Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant is a disabled nuclear power plant located on a 3.5-square-kilometre (860-acre) site in the towns of Okuma and Futaba in the Futaba District of Fukushima Prefecture, Japan. First commissioned in 1971, the plant consists of six boiling water reactors (BWR). These light water reactors drove electrical generators with a combined power of 4.7 GWe, making Fukushima Daiichi one of the 15 largest nuclear power stations in the world. Fukushima I was the first nuclear plant to be designed, constructed and run in conjunction with General Electric, Boise, and Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO). The plant suffered major damage from the 9.0 earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan on March 11, 2011. The incident permanently damaged several reactors making them impossible to restart. Due to the political climate, the remaining reactors will not be restarted. The disaster disabled the reactor cooling systems, leading to releases of radioactivity and triggering a 30 km evacuation zone surrounding the plant. On April 20, 2011, the Japanese authorities declared the 20 km evacuation zone a no-go area which may only be entered under government supervision.

I want a nuclear powered car now 😁 WTF

Recent studies have shown that 9/10 of youtube users literally don't know anything.

lol at the reactor is a living organism... really?. It is a machine that TEPCO failed to design properly. The reality of the situation was that they put the backup generators and their related switch gear in the basements. If they had placed the gen sets and their switch gear on the hill behind the plant, this would have never happened....

Wow!
-
Steam declares the loss of water.
-
Am pondering injection of carbon into the area where the molten uranium is located.
-
The Japanese are very methodical and professional. The fault lies with building the reactor in the first place. Weigh the cost of repairing the environment with using a tidal fluctuation generation plant to create energy.
-
It is kind of like if a jet-liner loses control over the plant,... control that!!
-
I would suggest on the side of caution that a 9.0 earthquake caused the disaster. And it doesn't matter if you are General Electric Corporation, nor Mitsubishi Corporation or one of their minor subsidiaries,... you cannot control nature. Just as they were warned before the fission reactors were built.

Yet one more documentary that admits to everything proved, while denying everything unproved. One more doc. that lies to us, by pretending to be anti-nuclear, while making it all seem as harmless as possible. One more doc that makes it seem as though if we avoid these mistakes next time, then nuclear will be OK. No, people, nuclear will NEVER be OK, no matter how many new designs the engineers come up with.

omg I'm south Korean do does that mean south Korea will be infected?!?
-
I don't think that anyone understands the meaning of massive accidents and unexpectations of impossible accidents.
The world has learn in future unexpected impossible problems.
Is too easy of criticizing. -
-
if i was in that control room when the lights went out and knowing you just lost connection and control of the reactor.. (this is unrealistic but..) i would have been like.. well we lost time to haul ass out of here!

Moderately good documentary, but it fails to explain WHY Isolation Condencers did not work.
Simply put, they did not work because there are four valves on the pipes between reactor and ICs, and two of these valves were inside the containment, inaccessible to personnel. If they weren't open when power went out, they can't be opened.
And why valves were placed this way? Because plant management simply did not think complete loss of power was possible. Consequently, personnel had no training what to do. In particular, no one looked into a task "how we are going to open these valves if all power is gone?", so personnel had to find a way how to do it, without prepared plans, under stress. They did not manage to find a way. I can hardly blame them.
Company thought "all power can't go off, some will remain". THAT is a critical flaw which killed the station. -
40 years the condensers not being tested at fukushima power plant seems to me the responsibility 0f the builder of the plant which is a us company GE all updates should come from this company for ever since the half life of this dangerous type of electrical production is thousands of years . there are several plants of this design in the US . there is no insurance company that will insure the nuclear plants from the consequences of these accidents. only the governments of all nations allow these nuclear companies to operate and the people always pay the price of any disaster . there is enough blame to go around but you don't get safe energy unless you put knowledge in the hands of people .

One of the best post-meltdown vids on youtube. It makes the other Fukushima Daiichi documentaries look like mickey mouse specials.
-
lots of assumption went on that day
-
its easy. FUCK nuclear power,,,,,and the bombs too!
