Delayed dismantling procedures in Fukushima
The Japanese authorities announced that the procedures to remove spent atomic fuel rods from reactors one and two will be delayed by five years, raising doubts about compliance with the decommissioning procedures of the Fukushima plant, then in practice all the various scheduled dates of intervention were postponed. It seems that the delay is justified by safety measures having to build a barrier around unit one to prevent the spread of radioactive dust and for the decontamination of the unit two. The nuclear power plant had recently shown obvious vulnerability due to the impact of Hagibis typhoon, forcing operators to release radioactive water from storage containers (thirty-six of which were lost because they were dragged away by vortex) due to heavy rainfall that saturated the management capacity of the temporary cooling system of the melted reactors.
