An ice wall in Fukushima
The works for the construction of a refrigeration system to freeze the ground beneath the damaged Fukushima nuclear power plant should begin in June in order to stem the losses in the soil of highly radioactive water from the cracked reactors with a sort of ice wall, in practice by passing coolant to minus forty degrees Celsius steel tubing to thirty meters underground for a perimeter of about a kilometer and a half around the atomic plant. Some argue that this ice mass could collapse all the land around the power plant thus undermining the functionality of the decommissioning system, but the authorities have given assurances on the procedures adopted. There remain, however, doubts concerning the fact of how not to be proceeded to build a sarcophagus covering as Chernobyl.
