Fukushima Daiichi Reactor 2 Debris Retrieval – Updated Details Reveal Only 0.7g Collected

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Smaller Debris Sample Than Expected

Recent reports reveal that the fuel debris sample retrieved from Fukushima Daiichi’s Reactor 2 weighed 0.7 grams, significantly less than the initially estimated 3 grams. This marks the first successful removal of core material from the reactor since the 2011 disaster. Analysis confirmed the presence of europium, a component derived from melted nuclear fuel, indicating that the debris includes portions of the reactor’s original fuel​​.

Transportation for Detailed Analysis

The retrieved debris was transported to the Japan Atomic Energy Agency’s (JAEA) Oarai Research Institute on November 12. Over the coming months, this material will undergo thorough analysis to guide future debris removal strategies, safety measures, and storage protocols​.

A Daunting Task Ahead

The total amount of radioactive fuel debris at Fukushima Daiichi is estimated to exceed 880 tons across reactors 1, 2, and 3. This latest step represents a small yet significant milestone in the decommissioning process. However, it underscores the enormity of the task ahead.


福島第一原発2号機デブリ採取 – 回収量はわずか0.7g

想定を下回る回収量

最新の報告によると、福島第一原発2号機から試験的に採取された燃料デブリは、当初見込まれていた3グラムよりも少ない0.7グラムであることが判明しました。これは2011年の事故以来、初めて原子炉内のコアデブリが取り出されたものです。分析の結果、デブリには溶融核燃料に由来する成分であるユーロピウムが含まれていることが確認されました​​。

構外分析施設への輸送完了

採取されたデブリは、11月12日に日本原子力研究開発機構(JAEA)の大洗研究所へ輸送されました。今後数か月から1年程度かけて詳細な分析が行われ、今後予定されているデブリ取り出し工法や安全対策、保管方法の検討に活用される予定です​。

果てしない廃炉への道のり

福島第一原発には、1号機から3号機までに推定880トン以上の放射性燃料デブリが残されています。今回の作業は、廃炉に向けた小さな一歩ですが、課題の大きさを改めて浮き彫りにしました。
