k****a 发帖数: 4162 | 1 One of the two cooling system pumps at the Tokai No. 2 nuclear power plant
in the village of Tokai, Ibaraki Prefecture, stopped Friday when a massive
earthquake hit Japan but there is no problem with cooling as the remaining
pump is working, according to local authorities late Sunday.
Tokai No. 2 Power Station, operated by Japan Atomic Power Co., shut down
automatically after the magnitude 9.0 quake, one of the biggest quakes in
history, jolted northeastern and eastern Japan.
According to a report submitted to the Ibaraki prefectural government, one
of the two pumps used to cool the water of a suppression pool for the
nuclear reactor at the plant stopped working.
The nuclear safety section of the prefectural government said the other pump
is working and that there is no problem with cooling the reactor. All
control rods are set in completely at the nuclear reactor, it said.
Japan Atomic Power said the reactor core has been cooled without any problem.
