Fukushima Diary : Continuous troubles in ALPS / A filtration part is imported from FrancePosted by Mochizuki on April 19th, 2014 Related to this article.. 4,200,000,000Bq of β and 10,000,000 Bq of γ nuclides leaked from ALPS again / New technology never get into operation
A part in the filtration of multiple nuclide removing system ALPS (Advanced Liquid Processing System) is imported from France.
Tepco stated in the meeting of NRA (Nuclear Regulation Authority) on 4/18/2014.
ALPS is having the continuous troubles since they started the hot test in March of 2013. Among the numbers of the troubles, two of the two different systems were caused by a filtration part.
A Teflon-lined sealing part is damaged. This part is assumed to have had radiation degradation though it is the nuclide removing system.
It is not announced what French company manufactured this part. However Tepco added it is taking time to import the replacement.
On 4/19/2014, Fukushima Diary reported Areva is being eliminated from Fukushima decommissioning site. (cf, “Mitsubishi Heavy Industries trying to quit being in cooperate with Areva”, a Fukushima worker [URL2]) It is not clear if this issued part is manufactured by Areva, but if it is, international nuclear industry is starting to be split due to the gaps in technology level.
