Inspection
Of Damaged Fuel Assembly Unit 4 Fukushima Daiichi
27
December, 2013
TEPCO
released a
brief report on the bent fuel assembly in unit 4′s spent fuel pool.
The outer box of the bent assembly showed cracks in the steel on both
sides of the bend. They stated that there we no increases in
radiation near the assembly. This would indicate that the interior
fuel rods were not broken to the point of leaking contamination that
was detectable. TEPCO previously admitted a pre-disaster bent fuel
assembly was located in the pool. They do not clarify if this report
is on that same assembly. The one inspected does have similarities in
the damage to the pre-disaster assembly so it is assumed this is the
same one.
