Nuclear Accident at Fukushima Daiichi NPP
Nuclear Accident at Fukushima Daiichi NPP
Aszodi, 2011
Event description 12.03.
• Units 4-6 in shut down status for periodic maintenance and
refuelling
• Units 1-3 were stopped automatically after the quake
• Reactor buildings and the containment successfully resist
to the earthquake
• All reactor were dissconnected from the external AC
supply
• Backup sources (diesel generators) started
• At approximately one hour after the earthquake tsunami
hit the site
– destroyed fuel tanks of the diesel generators
– flooded the diesel generator building
(10m protection wall was not sufficient)
• Mobile generators were sent to the site in a short time but
they ran out of fuel
• Hydrogen Explosion Unit 1
• Evacuation of population from the area of 20km Daiichi
NPP and 10km Daina NPP (approx. 200 000 person
• On-site radioactivity increased

Possible dispersion of the cloud
Dose rates on the NPP site
Romanian situation
• Radioactive cloud will not reach or will reach a very low concentration (m
or μBq/m3) due to long distance (high dilution)
• From the event will not result a Chernobyl type contamination:
– Much lower emission time and intensity
– Emission composition totally different, less a few orders of magnitude
– Much greater distance
• There is a "crisis cell" at the regulator, CNCAN
• Press release on the website of the Ministry of Health and the Romanian
Society of Radioprotection
• The population is warning:
– Stable iodine administration is not necessary
– Risks of stable iodine administration without medical suprevision
• There are no radiological risk for potential tourists to the Far East
• Urgent measures are not necessary
