Following up this article..[Reactor4] New assembly taken out on 7/18, IAEA might visit Fukushima plant

As the actual Fukushima worker Happy11311 commented, Tepco managed to take out one of the new fuel assemblies from SFP4 already.

At this moment, the taken assembly is not put in the cask yet.

The other one is to be taken out tomorrow 7/19/2012 (JST).

Today Japan meteorological agency announced thunderstorm advisory.

Following up this article..[Reactor4] Tepco will not announce when to take out the fuel from SFP4

Though Tepco was concealing the specific data to take out the new assemblies, TBS reported it will be 7/18/2012 (JST).

Actual Fukushima worker Happy11311 commented it may take up to 2 days.

続き5:普通にやれば燃料二本の吊り上げは一日で終わるはずでし。但し、今回はかなり慎重に行う可能性もあるから、そうなると一日一本で二日間でやるかも。これはオイラの予測だけど一日だけだと19日、二日間だと18日からやるんじゃないのかなぁ…？

Usually it takes 1 day to lift up 2 fuel assemblies, but they need to be extraordinarily careful this time, so it might take them 2 days. I guess they will start it on 7/19 if they take 1 day, will start it on 7/18 if they take 2 days.

続き6:雨が降ると延期もあるから20日金曜日は予備日じゃないかなぁ。それに今週18、19日は今の予定だと大飯4号機の再稼動だよね。今までも国は1Fのイベントは他の出来事とダブルブッキングさせてる事があるんだ。マスコミと国民の関心を分散させるのが目的か単なる偶然かわかんないけど。

7/20 may be the spare day in case of rain. and they will restart Ohi unit4 on 7/18 and 7/19. Even now, sometimes Japanese government double-book their plans in Fukushima plant with something else. I suspect it’s to distract mass media and people or not..

<End>

続き8:それにしても核物質防護上で日時を発表出来ないってちょっと理解出来ない。原発三キロまでヘリコプター近づく事が許可されてて今更って感じなんだけど…。3号機も4号機もｶﾊﾞｰﾘﾝｸﾞしてないし全てが上空から丸見えだし…。テロ対策するなら陸海空軍の師団ぐらいが常駐しなきゃでし。

Whatever, I can’t understand why they have to conceal the date to take out the fuel assemblies “for the protection of nuclear material”.  It’s been a while since Tepco allowed them to approach Fukushima plant out of 3 km diameter. There are no covers above reactor3 and 4 so anyone can see everything from the sky. If they want to prevent terrorism from happening, a division of army, navy and air force need to be stationed.

バンヮ(^O^)@tomos_log 土日に作業をしないのは、たぶん今回は国の政治家や役人、燃料が絡むのでもしかしたらIAEAの人も来るかもしれないとオイラは思ってるんだ。公務員が絡むと作業はほとんど平日でし。

The reason why they don’t take out the fuel assemblies during the weekend,,Probably politicians and government officials are going to come to see  this time, and maybe IAEA might come because nuclear fuel is involved. When public officers are involved, it’s always weekday.

<End>

バンヮ(^O^)@ryotanpa 燃料デブリの状態も炉内の状況もわからないのでは、まだ廃炉にはスタート地点にすら立ってないでし。

We don’t even know the state of fuel debris and inside of vessels yet, we haven’t even reached the starting point of decommissioning the nuclear reactors.
