Unit 2 (shut down due to earthquake)
- Reactor was shut down and although nuclear steam had been cooled by the
Reactor Core Isolation Cooling system,
the current operating status is
unclear. However, reactor coolant level can be monitored by a temporary
power supply and the level is stable.
- Currently, there is a possibility of a release of radioactive materials
due to decrease in reactor water level. Therefore, the national government
has instructed evacuation for those local residents within 3km radius of
the periphery and indoor standby for those local residents between 3km and
10km radius of the periphery.
