Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant Accident Possible nuclear fission in Unit 2
November 2, 2011, Okumamachi, Japan - The Unit 2 reactor building at Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant is shown in this September 15, 2011, file photo released by the plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Co., known as TEPCO.
TEPCO said Wednesday, November 2, that it has detected signs of possible nuclear fission in the No. 2 reactor at the plant, some 210km northeast of Tokyo, raising the rusk of more radiation leaks. The operator said water containing boric acid was injected to control a possible nuclear reaction at the reactor, where nuclear fuel is believed to have melted when the cooling system failed following the devastating March 11 earthquake and tsunami.
