Fukushima Diary : Tepco damaged power cable for reactor4 pool coolant system / Tepco “Didn’t know the cable was there”
Posted by Mochizuki on March 4th, 2014 · 8 Comments
On 2/25/2014, Tepco damaged the power cable for reactor4 pool, which was installed by themselves.
It stopped one of the coolant systems of reactor4 pool, they ended up suspending fuel removal from the pool. They took about 4 hours to restart.
Tepco was drilling the ground in the south side of reactor4 in the process of improving the ground to stop groundwater flowing into the reactor buildings.
When they drilled approx. 1m in the ground, they damaged the power cable.
Regarding the cause, Tepco stated they were not informed of that the power cables were there by the outsourced company. Also, they had the “subjective impression” that any pipes or cables were not buried there.
Additionally, they actually found unexpected material when they started drilling, but they continued drilling without checking anything.
