Fukushima Daiichi: (Nitrogen?) Device Screenshots


I'm assuming this very large device is what injects nitrogen into the reactors to prevent the buildup of explosive gasses.

I've seen the device many times before and it usually is placed in service when atmospheric emissions start to thicken, as illustrated by this screenshot from earlier today:

It is huge, as illustrated here when the crane pulls it out of the building and drops it in the foreground of the building (reactor1) where it had been embedded:

  1. Looks like it has the compressor, tank, heat exchangers and injector tube to meet that description as a nitrogen injector majia.

  2. There are other photos of it you have compiled. It would be nice if you showed those photos and did an article on it.

  3. Someone tells me that this device is a diesel powered vacuum sucking up contaminates in R1 in a effort to reduce deadly dust???

    1. Interesting hypothesis. Could be as I'm just guessing. One thing though, and that is the visible atmospheric emissions are always significantly lower after the device has been in use.

  4. Who said that Herve? Possibly it is true. Thanks for the information.

  5. Yes Herve. Why would they not simply use huge tanks full of compressed nitrogen? Or simply have series of pipelines setup that run nitrogen into Fukushima daiichi?
