Fukushima Daiichi Unit 3 is not going to explode
Steam heat? What is happening at Fukushima Daiichi?
Beginning
on Monday December 30, 2013, the Internet has been flooded with
conjecture claiming that Fukushima Daiichi Unit 3 is ready to explode.
Fairewinds Energy Education has been inundated with questions about the
very visible steam emanating from Fukushima Daiichi Unit 3. Our
research, and discussions with other scientists, confirms that what we
are seeing is a phenomenon that has been occurring at the Daiichi site
since the March 2011 accident.
It is winter and it is cold
through out much of the northern hemisphere. Hot water vapor has been
released daily by each of the four Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power
plants since the accident. We believe that is one of the reasons TEPCO
placed covers over Daiichi 4 and 1. Sometimes the steam [hot water
vapor] is visible and sometimes it is not. If you have been outside on a
cold winter day, you have personally experienced that phenomenon when
you see the breath you exhale form a cloud in the cold air. The
technical explanation is that hot water vapor becomes visible when it
comes in contact with cold air and condenses. During the winter months
in the Fukushima Prefecture, the sea air is cold and moist, thus forming
the ideal conditions to see the released steam.
