Ex-GE Engineer Highlights Critical Fukushima Reactor Design Flaw

Ex-GE Engineer Highlights Critical Fukushima Reactor Design Flaw 



公開日: 2013/03/08
In 1971, General Electric designed, built and delivered the first, now-exploded, Mark 1 reactor at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant and that design was also used for four of the other five reactors.

Whistleblower Dale Bridenbaugh, a former engineer for GE, exposed a critical flaw in the
reactor design that was so bad, he recommended all Mark 1 reactors be shut
down to repair them. This didn't happen. Then, as now, profits and
protection of nuclear business were put ahead of safety and the
protection of people.

Former Babcock-Hitachi engineer and member of the Japanese Parliament committee investigating TEPCO, Mitsuhiko Tanaka, details a flaw in the manufacture of the pressure vessel for Fukushima Daiichi reactor 4. This flaw was covered up despite compromising the safety of the reactor. Though not the cause of the explosion, it was one of many problems at the plant not properly investigated or adequately repaired. Learn more at www.greenpeace.org
