While the first reactor is quietly changing, the emergency response team of the second reactor is also doing its best to deal with the precarious reactor.

At present, the situation of the No. 1 power station is not optimistic, and most of the standby diesel generator sets located in the basement have been soaked and scrapped by seawater backflow.

At this time, the interior of the Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant was already in a mess. In the aftermath of the tsunami, the sea carried a lot of garbage, making the previously clean and tidy complex look like a garbage treatment plant.

It is in such a working environment that the crew of several crews trekkers are enough to reach the sea water up to their necks, and they trek back and forth with difficulty.

"Team Leader! We have detected a hydrogen spill in the No. 2 reactor, and according to our inference, the cooling water level must have dropped, and the fuel rods are in danger of melting!

Listening to the anxious roar of his subordinates, Abe Masarayu, the person in charge of Unit 2, gritted his teeth fiercely. Picked up the satellite phone in his hand.

TEPCO Corporation.

Today seems to be the most unfortunate day in the history of Japan's largest power company, and the bad news has come one after another, which has made Kenji Kudo, the chief manager in charge of the Fukushima nuclear power plant, anxious.

"Mr. Kudo! A message has been sent from Unit 123 of the Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant! At present, most of the emergency generators in the power station are damaged, and they urgently need emergency diesel generator support!"

Although Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) is Japan's largest power company, the consortium behind it is powerful enough to influence Japan's political situation. But there is a problem with this company - buckles.

This deduction is not equivalent to the deduction of wages and benefits by some enterprises. It's about not investing a penny more in anything they think they can save.

This is reflected in the various insurance and emergency measures at the Fukushima nuclear power plant.

For example, their protective wall, as early as 08, some experts suggested that the height of the protective levee in Fukushima was not enough to resist a large tsunami.

However, at the time, TEPCO believed that the Chilean earthquake that occurred in 60 years had triggered a tsunami only 3 meters high. Building a five-meter-high levee by yourself is already completely resistant, and even two meters more.

Another manifestation lies in the containment of the outer part of the nuclear reactor.

As early as after the Chernobyl nuclear leak, experts reminded TEPCO that the structure of the Fukushima nuclear power plant was the same as Chernobyl, and that in order to avoid tragedy, the outrageously simple boiling water reactor should be retrofitted with containment.

TEPCO, for its part, has indeed done a good job and built a "containment" on the outside of the reactor. But this so-called "containment" is the addition of a slightly thicker layer of reinforced concrete structure to the perimeter of the reactor building.

The reason why this is called "so-called containment" is that the real containment is not a simple layer of cement, but includes a series of complex systems and structures such as sprinkler systems, gas exchange systems, and prestressed concrete structures.

Therefore, the Fukushima nuclear power plant's renovation of the reactor building is only seeking consolation.

And, of course, there is the emergency electrical aspect.

When the Fukushima nuclear power plant was first built, the company's own assessment was that Fukushima was geographically safe enough that it was unlikely to be paralyzed by the earthquake. What's more, there are already two sets of backup generator sets, one positive and one negative, in each unit, which TEPCO believes is sufficient.

Therefore, at this time, in the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant, they did not have any mobile emergency power generation equipment!

Now, after receiving the call for help from the front, Kudo waved directly to the visitor with a pained expression, signaling him to go out first.

"Gentlemen, what should we do now?"

Facing a group of subordinates, Kudo said with a calm face.

"If we can't, we have to turn to the government for help. "Immediately, someone came up with an idea.

Fifty minutes later, the Fukushima prefectural government received a call from TEPCO.

In fact, the Fukushima nuclear power plant crisis has been taken seriously by the local government. The safety of millions of people is at stake, and the matter of nuclear power plants is not a trivial matter.

Now seeing that TEPCO called for help, local officials immediately asked about the situation of the power station.

And the reply was "Don't worry, everything is fine except for the need for emergency electricity." ”

After receiving this reply, the local government's hanging heart was half relieved. Unhurriedly, I found an electric power company and instructed them to provide power support.

……

In the midst of the enigmatic calmness of TEPCO and the Japanese government, at this time, earth-shaking changes have taken place in the No. 1 and No. 2 reactors of the Counseling Power Station;

Without enough cooling water, the fuel rods inside the reactor were already hot like a miniature sun, exposed to the air, and slowly began to melt themselves. The cooling water in the core has also been boiling and evaporating, and a large amount of high-temperature and high-pressure steam has begun to spray out from the core circuit!

Under the high temperature caused by the decay of the fuel rods, even the containment made of zirconium metal has begun to slowly melt.

And zirconium, which is already highly active in its molecules, has been given the best chance – a chance to react well with the air and release large amounts of hydrogen and oxygen.

The catastrophe began at this moment, in earnest!

The molten high-temperature zirconium alloy reacts with high-temperature water vapor to produce a large amount of hydrogen, which, due to its low density, begins to continuously overflow from the destroyed reactor and accumulate on the roof of the reactor building.

At the same time, a large amount of radioactive elements in the fuel that has lost its wrap are carried by water vapor, floating around the reactor building, and even leaking out with the reactor building.

Finally, after the hydrogen gas has gathered to a certain concentration, and the fuel rods that have melted like ice cream but emit heat like the sun have added fuel to the flames, a flame from the region is born!

Rumble!!!

Burst!!!!

Unit 1 was the first to accept the judgment of death.

Above the reactor where a large number of high-concentration hydrogen and oxygen gathered, a martyrdom like a Hollywood special effect was born.

The tremendous tension generated by the explosion directly lifted the concrete shell of Unit 1! The shell, which weighed dozens of tons, was like a can that had been kicked by a child, and with a roar of breaking through the outer part of the protective shell.

The suggestion is like a spicy strip processing factory, and in the face of the huge shock wave, it seems to be paper paste, and it is already scattered and broken in an instant!

But that's not all, and the Grim Reaper has always been fond of favoring the unprepared and arrogant.

Just three minutes after the explosion of Unit 1, with the constant wails from inside the nuclear power plant, Units 2 and 3 sounded the horn from hell almost simultaneously.

Burst!!!

Burst!!!!

Rumble!!!!

The skyrocketing flames completely ignited the Fukushima power station.

The heat wave was accompanied by countless concrete gravel, twisted and deformed steel plates, and burning wood chips, and even the mud and sand brought by the surrounding tsunami in an instant.

Some of the psychologically broken on-site operators fled in all directions, like flies without their heads. The local firefighters and the personnel of various crews who participated in the emergency response at the scene let out a series of angry roars and exclamations. The attempt is to use the power of control, which is already completely impossible to achieve, to maintain order within the power station that is also impossible to achieve again.

At this point, some time has passed since the tsunami occurred. However, the people who had taken refuge on the hillside not far away were still stranded on the hilltop because of the water on the road.

More than 3,000 local people even forgot their surprise at this moment, they had only one thought in their hearts at this time: Fukushima, it was over......

Such an earth-shattering scene happened to be transmitted to various parts of Japan by reporters who came to Fukushima to broadcast the tsunami and the situation of the Fukushima power station live in a helicopter in the sky.

When this scene was presented to the people, the whole of Japan fell into a state of fear!
