圧力容器下の部品にデブリ付着か　土台は半分以上がなくなった恐れ　福島第一原発1号機 via 東京新聞

Posted on 2023/04/06 by nfield

　東京電力は31日、福島第一原発（福島県大熊町、双葉町）の1号機原子炉の内部調査で、核燃料があった圧力容器の真下を撮影した画像を新たに公開した。容器下に付いていた制御棒などの部品に溶け落ちた核燃料（デブリ）とみられる塊が付着していた。 　容器を支える鉄筋コンクリートの土台（厚さ1.2メートル）は、壁の中心にある部材が露出しているのが確認され、厚さの半分以上のコンクリートが損傷してなくなった可能性が高いことも分かった。 […] 国際廃炉研究開発機構は、開口部の周囲約100度にわたって土台が欠損し、残りの部分も4分の1ほどがなくなった想定で耐震性を評価。その結果、健全性は維持されるとした。 　現時点では、土台の損傷度合いははっきりしない。東電は「映像を解析して耐震性を再評価しないと健全性を判断できない」としながらも、圧力容器は上部にも支えがあるため、倒壊する危険はないと説明している。（小野沢健太） 【関連記事】鉄筋がむき出しに…核燃料の熱でコンクリが溶けたか　圧力容器真下の土台が損傷　福島第一原発1号機 全文
