[Fukushima conscription started] Tepco will oblige all the employees to go to Fukushima, 100,000ppl/y in total.

In the mid-term administration plan, Tepco decided to send all of their employees to Fukushima for decontamination from 2013. They are sent to Fukushima for 2~3 times a year, about 100,000 people in total will go to Fukushima annually. This is not volunteer, this is obligation.
They will also increase the “experts” of decontamination from 100 to 300 by the autumn of 2013.
The purpose is to make decontamination work more efficient and reduce the cost.
The total cost of decontamination is estimated to be trillions of yen. It is not clear how the government and Tepco will share the cost.

Explosive concentrations of gas at Fukushima Unit 1? Hydrogen and Krypton-85 levels fluctuating since April, says Tepco

At 9:37 AM on October 23, continuous nitrogen injection into Unit 1 suppression chamber was started. The nitrogen injection is planned to be continued for about a month until the hydrogen concentration in the suppression chamber is reduced to approx. 2%.
SimplyInfo: “This indicates that the current known level in the torus air gap is over 2% air density. 4% is the point where an explosion becomes possible.”
Mainichi: There is a danger of a hydrogen explosion if hydrogen levels reach 4% with more than 5% oxygen

Nitrogen injection to Unit 1 suppression chamberAs hydrogen concentration and Kr-85 radioactivity density have been changing since April, it is assumed that the hydrogen generated in the early stage of the accident and Kr-85 which remain in the upper part of the suppression chamber are intermittently released into the dry well. In order to investigate whether or not hydrogen and Kr-85 still remain in the suppression chamber, changes in hydrogen concentration and Kr-85 radioactivity density will be measured after injecting nitrogen into the suppression chamber (Early September).
