Fukushima Diary : Tepco burnt and cut one of the last two thermometers in reactor2 RPV due to another mis-operation
Posted by Mochizuki on March 8th, 2014 · No Comments Following up this article.. One of the last 2 thermometers in reactor2 RPV was broken / Tepco possibly destroyed it during the test On 3/7/2014, Tepco admitted they burnt and cut one of the last two thermometers in reactor2 RPV by themselves. Now there is only one thermometer left in the vessel. It is estimated to take 3 months to replace it with a new one. It was due to another mis-operation. According to Tepco, they put 2.5 times high voltage as the limit to the thermometer on the insulation resistance. They had the manual, but the operator didn’t notice the voltage limit. Because of the high level of atmospheric dose in Fukushima plant, experienced workers are forced to leave. Having the increasing demand in workers for Olympic game construction and also the restart of other nuclear plants, it is concerned that Tepco is actually in the serious shortage of the skilled workers. However Tepco is denying the risk to state they still have the sufficient stock of the workers in other nuclear plants. On the other hand, local media point out the lack of skilled workers is already starting to cause the recent troubles due to the continuous basic mis-operations. www.tepco.co.jp/tepconews/library/movie-01j.htmlIori Mochizuki fukushima-diary.com/2014/03/tepco-burnt-and-cut-one-of-the-last-two-thermometers-in-reactor2-rpv-due-to-another-mis-operation/
