While the No. 1 reactor is quietly changing, the emergency response team of the No. 2 reactor is also doing its best to deal with the endangered reactor.
The current situation of the No. 1 Power Station is no longer optimistic. Seawater intrusion has soaked and scrapped most of the backup diesel generators located in the basement.
At this time, the inside of the Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant was already in a mess. After the tsunami struck, the seawater carried a large amount of garbage, making this originally clean and tidy building complex look like a garbage disposal plant.
It was in such a working environment that several crew members trudged back and forth through water up to their necks.
"Team leader! We have detected hydrogen overflowing in the No. 2 reactor. According to our inference, the cooling water level must have dropped and the fuel rods are in danger of melting! What should we do?!"
Listening to the anxious roars of his subordinates, the person in charge of Unit 2, Masaru Abe, gritted his teeth. Picked up the satellite phone in his hand.
Tepco Corporation.
Today seems to be the most unlucky day in the history of Japan's largest power company. Bad news comes one after another, which has already made Kenji Fuji, the general manager in charge of the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant, very anxious.
"Mr. Kudo! News from Unit 123 of the Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant! Most of the emergency generators in the power station are currently damaged, and they are in urgent need of emergency diesel generator support!"
Although Tokyo Electric Power Company is Japan's largest power company, the consortium behind it is enough to influence Japan's political situation. But this company has a problem - buckles.
This deduction is not equivalent to the deduction of wages and benefits that some companies use. Instead, they will not deduct a penny more for any area they think they can save.
The specific performance lies in the various insurance and emergency measures at the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant.
For example, their protective wall. As early as 2008, some experts suggested that the height of Fukushima's protective wall was not high enough to withstand a large tsunami.
However, TEPCO believed at the time that the Chilean earthquake in 1960 only triggered a 3-meter-high tsunami. Building a five-meter-high **** by yourself is already enough to withstand it, and it even has an extra two meters.
Another manifestation lies in the containment outside the nuclear reactor.
Early after the nuclear leak in Chernobyl, experts reminded TEPCO that the structure of the Fukushima nuclear power plant is the same as that of Chernobyl. In order to avoid tragedy, this heinously simple nuclear power plant should be replaced. Add a containment vessel to the boiling water reactor.
TEPCO did follow suit and built a "containment shell" outside the reactor. But this so-called "containment" is a slightly thicker reinforced concrete structure added to the periphery of the reactor building.
The reason why this is called a "so-called containment" is because the real containment is not a simple layer of cement, but includes a series of complex systems such as a sprinkler system, a gas exchange system, and a prestressed concrete structure. and structural.
So, the renovation of the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant and the reactor building is just to seek psychological comfort.
Of course, there is also emergency power.
When the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant was being built, based on the company's own assessment, it was believed that Fukushima's geographical location was safe enough that it would be impossible to be paralyzed by an earthquake. What's more, each unit already has two sets of backup generating units, one positive and one negative, which TEPCO believes is enough.
So, at this time, they have no mobile emergency power generation equipment at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant!
Now after receiving the call for help from the front, Kudo had a pained expression on his face and waved directly to the person coming, signaling him to go out first.
"Gentlemen, what should we do now?"
Facing a group of subordinates, Kudo said calmly.
"If it doesn't work, we can only ask the government for help." Immediately, someone came up with an idea.
Fifty minutes later, the Fukushima Prefectural Government received a call from Tokyo Electric Power Company.
In fact, the local government has attached great importance to the crisis at the Fukushima nuclear power plant. It involves the safety of millions of people, and nuclear power plants are no small matter.
Now seeing TEPCO calling for help, local officials immediately asked about the situation of the power station.
The reply was "Don't worry, everything is normal except for emergency power."
After receiving this reply, the local government was half relieved. He calmly found an electric power company and instructed them to provide power support.
……
Amidst the mysterious calmness of TEPCO and the Japanese government, earth-shaking changes have taken place in the No. 1 and No. 2 reactors of the Tutor Power Station;
Without sufficient cooling water supply, the fuel rods in the reactor have become as hot as a miniature sun. When exposed to the air, they begin to melt slowly. The cooling water in the reactor core has also boiled and evaporated cleanly, and a large amount of high-temperature and high-pressure steam has begun to spurt out from the reactor core circuit!
Under the high temperature generated by the decay of the fuel rods, even the containment made of zirconium metal has begun to slowly melt.
The zirconium element, whose molecules are already highly active, has had the best opportunity - an opportunity to fully react with air and release a large amount of hydrogen and oxygen.
The disaster really begins from this moment!
The molten high-temperature zirconium alloy reacted with high-temperature water vapor to produce a large amount of hydrogen. Due to its low density, hydrogen began to continuously overflow from the destroyed reactor and accumulated on the top of the reaction plant.
At the same time, a large amount of radioactive elements in the lost fuel were carried by water vapor, floating around the reactor building, and even leaked out along with the reactor building.
Finally, after the hydrogen gas gathered to a certain concentration, and with the fuel rods that were already melting like ice cream but emitting heat like the sun, a trace of fire originating from the region was born!
Boom! ! !
Poof! ! ! !
Unit No. 1 was the first to accept the judgment of death.
Above the reactor where a large amount of high-concentration hydrogen and oxygen gathered, an explosion like a Hollywood special effect was born.
The huge tension generated by the explosion directly lifted the concrete shell of Unit 1! The shell, which weighed several tens of tons, was like a can that had been kicked by a child. It penetrated the factory building outside the protective shell with a roar that broke through the air.
The proposed factory building, which was like a spicy strips processing factory, was even worse. In front of the huge shock wave, it seemed to be made of paper, and it was scattered and shattered in an instant!
But this is still not the end, Death has always been particularly fond of the unprepared and arrogant.
Only three minutes after the explosion in Unit 1, Units 2 and 3 sounded the horn from **** almost at the same time as the wailing continued in the nuclear power plant.
Poof! ! !
Poof! ! ! !
Boom! ! ! !
The flames soaring into the sky completely ignited the Fukushima Power Station.
The heat wave accompanied by countless concrete gravel, twisted steel plates, and burning wood chips even dried the sediment brought by the surrounding tsunami in an instant.
Some psychologically collapsed on-site operators fled in all directions, as if they were headsless flies. The local firefighters and crews involved in the emergency response at the scene roared and exclaimed repeatedly. Trying to use the control power that is completely impossible to achieve to maintain the order inside the power station that is also impossible to achieve again.
At this time, some time has passed since the tsunami occurred. However, the people who took refuge on the hillside not far away were still stranded on the hilltop because of the water on the road.
More than 3,000 local people even forgot their surprise at this moment. They had only one thought in their minds: Fukushima is over...
And such an earth-shattering scene happened to be broadcast to all parts of Japan by reporters who came to Fukushima to live broadcast the tsunami and the situation at the Fukushima Power Station. They used live cameras in helicopters in the sky.
When this scene appeared in front of people, the whole of Japan fell into fear!
