Unloading Intend TEPCO Fukushima Reactor

Energy producers from Tokyo plans to dismantle the tank reactor at the tsunami-damaged Fukushima. The move followed an urgent water leak rain recently which pollute the sea.

The story surrounding the Fukushima nuclear power plant has not been completed . Tokyo Electric Power announced plans to form a special unit tasked dismantle the damaged nuclear reactors , following the Tsunami disaster 2008.
TEPCO President Naomi Hirose claims it will realize the plan as soon as possible after the Japanese government gave the green light . Tokyo provides funding recovery power plant in Fukushima .
Tuesday ( 24/12 ) and members of the Board of Directors approved the establishment of the company TEPCO combined with some special units that have different tasks , among which is the dismantling of the reactor tank .
The threat of aftershocks
Efforts to address the threat of radiation exposure in Fukushima currently considered urgent . Daily Asahi Shimbun recently reported 225 tons of rainwater likely to leak due to cracks in the insulating ring surrounding the reactor tank . The leak is believed to occur in reactor number one .
While the number of the crew of the USS Ronald Reagan who gave first aid after the Tsunami in 2008 and began reporting health problems . Most recorded with brain cancer , leukemia , etc. . Marines are believed to be ill from radiation exposure amounted to 49 people .
Experts believe , radiation exposure comes from the distilled sea water by ship and used as drinking water , for bathing and cooking . In a letter directed lawsuit against TEPCO , the accused Marines , the Japanese company was late to tell the nuclear leak that causes water pollution sea .
Sticking to the TEPCO Fukushima
Through the plan , Tepco is believed to want to revive a power plant damaged by the tsunami . The Japanese government is believed to favor because of worries surge of electricity dependency if TEPCO switched to coal or petroleum .

" When the government took a step forward ( to help TEPCO - ed ) , we hope to take three or even four steps at a time , " Hirose said in front of reporters .
The Japanese government previously announced changes to the state budget for 2014 , including the restoration fund of energy production and storage of nuclear waste for TEPCO worth 1 billion U.S. dollars .

Without the helping hand of government , TEPCO will be forced to declare bankruptcy . Following the tsunami in 2008 and the company is difficult to borrow money from banks because of poor credit ratings . But on the other hand , TEPCO bankruptcy would be a backward blow for the Japanese economy .
