Q-8 |
Was the reactor core damaged in the earthquake before the tsunami struck ? |
|
A: |
The earthquake caused the loss of off-site power, automatically shutting down the reactors.The emergency DG was activated, operating safety system equipment to cool the reactor cores until the tsunami waves arrived.No abnormal parameters were observed until then.This is why it is believed that the earthquake did not damage any safety system equipment or facilities around the reactors.Analysis using seismic ground motions observed in the earthquake, also confirmed that facilities around the reactors and safety system equipment maintained their integrity. |
