Written by an expert in the field, this book is perfect for those
who would like to know what happened at the Fukushima Daiichi
Nuclear Power Plant. Part 1 of the book studies how core melts
occurred in Fukushima Daiichi units 1, 2, and 3, respectively,
based on evidence from the Three-Mile Island core melt accident and
fuel behavior experiments performed in the 1970s under the
cooperation between the United States, Germany, and Japan. This
information explains the accident processes without contradicting
data from Fukushima, which was published in the TEPCO report. The
hydrogen explosions in units 1, 3, and 4 are also explained
logically in conjunction with the above core melt process. Part 2
clarifies how the background radiation level of the site doubled:
The first rise was just a leak from small openings in units 1 and 3
associated with fire-pump connection work. The second rise led to
direct radioactive material release from unit 2. Evacuation dose
adequacy and its timing are discussed with reference to the
accident process, and the necessity for embankments surrounding
nuclear power plants to increase protection against natural
disasters is also discussed. New proposals for safety design and
emergency preparedness are suggested based on lessons learned from
the accident as well as from new experiences. Finally, a concept
for decommissioning the Fukushima site and a recovery plan are
introduced.
