TABLE 1. UNIT 1 REACTOR: FUKUSHIMA DAIICHI NUCLEAR POWER PLANT: 11 MAY 2011 ASSESSMENT OF STATUS IN TERMS OF FUNDAMENTAL SAFETY FUNCTIONS FOR ACHIEVING A SAFE STATE Necessary safety function and Observation Evaluation of safe state TEPCO Roadmap countermeasures conditions Reactor is subcritical and sub- - No power spike or power increase ACHIEVED No additional countermeasures reported criticality is demonstrated and - No significant neutron flux measured and Caution:Control of maintained reported - Continue detection ofreactivity - Short lived fission products (e.g. La-140) neutrons and short-lived are not reported at present isotopes Stable cooling shall be assured: - Based on available measurements: NOT ACHIEVED Nos 1, 3, 4, 7, 8, 9, 13, 14, 16 and 17 - Keep the coolant temperature • Reactor vessel temperatures are: Establishment of a long term sufficiently below the boiling 115.7 °C at feedwater nozzle and closed-loop heat removal Actions aimed to establish closed-loop cooling point at atmospheric pressure 94.1 °C at the lower head circuit is advised are in progress: - Cover the damaged core • 1. Installation of primary and secondary Residual heal removal Reactor pressure: (A) 5.7 atm / (B) adequately with water 13.8 atm) based on available closed-loop cooling systems (planned for 31 - Off-site and back-up power measurements May) supply shall be available • Water level of reactor core is below 2. Flooding of the containment to provide - Achievement of long term about −1650 mm (A) from the top water supply for the primary system closed-loop heat removal of active core capability - Off-site power supply and backup power from portable diesel generators are available - Fresh water injection is provided; however, closed-loop heat removal is not yet established - Containment pressure - Pressure in the primary containment ACHIEVED Nos 2, 6, 11 and 15 maintained below design vessel is maintained at about 1.05 atm Caution:Containment integrity limits which is well below the design operating - Pressure and H2 - Hydrogen explosion to be pressure of 4.85 atm concentration of the prevented - Nitrogen injection is maintained containment to be further monitored[Type text]
