Fukushima Daiichi - Emergency Seawater Injection Practice

Fourth in a series of explanatory TEPCO videos. This video shows some of the activities performed during, and gives an explanation of, a drill that TEPCO conducted at the Fukushima Daiichi site on October 12. In this drill, it is assumed that water injection (fresh water) has stopped to one of the reactors and cannot be restarted; the company elects to use fire engines in a pre-planned arrangement and inject seawater to the core. It is important to note that TEPCO's plans submitted to NISA specified a three hour time frame to accomplish this work but it only took one hour.
