TEPCO starts to install fuel-removing device at Fukushima n-plant
November 12, 2017
Fukushima- Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings Inc. started on Sunday work to install equipment to be used for removing fuel from the storage pool at a reactor at its disaster-crippled Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant in northeastern Japan.
The equipment, weighing 72 tons, was lifted up to the upper part of the plant's No. 3 reactor using two large cranes.
The pool, located on a floor 36 meters above the ground, holds a total of 566 spent and unused nuclear fuel assemblies. TEPCO plans to begin removing the fuel from the No. 3 reactor storage pool in the middle of fiscal 2018.
The installation work was originally slated to start on Saturday, but was postponed due to strong winds. Jiji Press
