From: Mitman, Jeffrey Sent: Friday, April 22, 2011 6:34 AM To: RST01 Hoc Subject: FW: TEPCO Earthquake Information Update on April 18 I believe someone was asking question at the 4 pm (Japan time) status call regarding isotopic concentrations in spent fuel pools other than Unit 4. The below gives information on Unit 2's SFP. Please forward on to any interested parties not here in Japan. Thanks.

TEPCO Washington Office 202-457-0790 Kenji Matsuo, Director and General Manager Yuichi Nagano, Deputy General Manager, Masayuki Yamamoto, Manager, Nuclear Power Programs (1) Result of Nuclide Analysis in the Skimmer Surge Tank Water of Unit 2 On April 16 th 2011, TEPCO sampled approx. 400ml of water from the water flowed from the spent fuel pool to the skimmer surge tank. The purpose of the sampling is to check the condition of the water in the pool, in order to design temporary cooling equipment for the spent fuel pool of unit 2. From the result of nuclide analysis of the water in the skimmer surge tank, radioactive materials have been detected as shown below. Date of sample collection: April 16, 2011
Date of analysis: April 17, 2011 Analysis result

Radiation dose of the sampled water: Approx. 3.5 mSv/h (radiation dose on the surface of container) In addition to the above nuclide, approx. 4,000 Bq/cm3 of cesium 136 (half life is approx. 13 days) was detected. Detailed valuation will be conducted hereafter. [Comments] It is not easy to evaluate this result, but we assume most of radioactive nuclide from PCV of unit 2 have dissolved in the form of condensate and/or dust. Because there are short half-life nuclides such as 1-131 and Cs-136 usually not exist in the spent fuel after at least 200 days of storage. We do not think fuels in the pool are seriously damaged based on the fact that the water level in the spent fuel pool is maintained periodical water injection through SPC, no damage in the reactor building and the decay heat from the unit 2 spent fuel is much lower than unit 4.
