Fukushima Daiichi (No.1) Nuclear Power Plant

The Magnitude 9.0 earthquake happened in the seabed of the North Pacific Ocean 150 kilometers off northeast Honshu Island, Japan, or 400 kilometers northeast of Tokyo on March 11, 2011.

Then 10 to 14 meter-high tsunami rushed to coastal areas stretching 600 kilometers from north to south or Aomori Prefecture to Chiba Prefecture, immediately north of Tokyo, over two to three hours after the earthquake.

It took almost 40,000 lives living on north Honsyu Island or the north of Tokyo.

It further destroyed four reactor units of Fukushima Daiichi (No.1) Nuclear Power Plant in Fukushima Prefecture, which situated 250 km northeast of Tokyo.

Yet, 18 days after the incident, the grave situation of the four reactor units is not yet to be improved or fixed.

However, life is going on in and around Tokyo as usual.

Plutonium Detected in Soil Around Fukushima Daiichi
Mar 28, 2011, 11:00 by David Hope

Plutonium, a highly toxic, heavy, radioactive metallic element, has been detected in soil at several locations at the earthquake-crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant in Japan, the plant's operators said Monday.

Tokyo Electric Power Company said the plutonium detected in five locations is believed to have been discharged from nuclear fuel at the plant, which was severely damaged by the March 11th 9-magnitude earthquake in northeastern Japan.

Levels of radiation exceeding 1,000 millisieverts per hour have also were been detected in water in a trench outside the No. 2 reactor's building, officials said Monday. The contaminated water, detected Sunday, is suspected to have come from the reactor's core, where fuel rods partially melted...


In South Korea, the Nuclear Safety Information Center said a small amount of radioactive xenon, believed to have come from the Fukushima plant, was detected by a monitoring station, Kyodo reported.

Once in a decade or two or three, automakers will surely have to face a crisis like everybody in the world.

Tohoku disaster may bring automakers to their knees

By SHARON SILKE CARTY and ELAINE KURTENBACH
The Associated Press

Because parts and supplies are shipped by sea, the real drop-off has yet to be felt by factories in the U.S., Europe and Asia. That will come by the middle of April.

Much of Japan's auto industry — the second-largest supplier of cars in the world — remains idle. Few plants were seriously damaged by the quake, but with supplies of water and electricity fleeting, no one can say when factories will crank up. Some auto analysts said it could be as late as this summer.

Goldman Sachs estimates the shutdowns are costing the Japan automakers $200 million a day, which adds up to $2.8 billion for just the past two weeks. Each week of continued shutdowns costs $1.4 billion. By comparison, Toyota made $2.3 billion in all of 2010, and its sudden acceleration recalls cost $2 billion. The cost of damage from Japan's natural disaster could dwarf that recall, which was considered Toyota's biggest crisis ever.

The unit of the numbers in the figure is micro-sievert per hour. But, a chest x-ray uses 0.2 milli-sievert radiation.

A chest X-ray is measured at about 0.2 mSv, and a brain scan at about 50 mSv, both thought to be negligible...

http://www.khaleejtimes.com/Displayarticle09.asp?section=health&xfile=data/health/2011/March/health_March52.xml

But, a man is exposed to a chest x-ray only a second or less.

As a man in Tokyo receives 0.1 microsievert per hour, if he stays in the environment for 0.2 x 10^-3 divided by 0.1 x 10^-6, he receives an amount of radiation equal to one chest x-ray check. It is 2000 hours or 83 days.

So, if the present radioactive condition continues for 83 days in Tokyo and you stay in Tokyo for these 83 days, you receive the same amount of radiation as one chest x-ray.

There are 47 prefectures in Japan including Tokyo Prefecture that has 13 million population.

The 3/11 Disaster hit hard the Pacific Coast areas mainly of three prefectures: Iwate, Miyagi, and Fukushima.

The number of those who lost lives or houses and assets seem to be 400,000.

Yet, Japan has the 125 million population, excluding 1.7 million foreigners in Japan, as of 2010.

Yet, the Fukushima No.1 Nuclear Power Plant provided power for the Tokyo area. Accordingly scheduled outage has been applied to the Tokyo area, excluding the main districts of Tokyo. In this context, psychological pressure on people living around Tokyo is not small, since the Plant is situated at 250 kilometers or 150 miles northeast of Tokyo.

It will take further a few weeks to fix the Fukushima Daiichi (No.1) problem.

Nuclear Reporting


In a reactor unit of the Fukushima No.1 Nuclear Power Plant, nuclear fuel in the pressure vessel was exposed out of water filled in the vessel due to the big earthquake/tsunami and lost electricity.

Then fuel got heated and started to partially melt. Radioactive material got into the water and then leaked from piping connecting the pressure vessel with a turbine system in a different building. So, the water including radioactive material dropped on the floor of the turbine building. The problem is that the amount of leaked water radioactively contaminated was tons and could be tens of tons or probably hundreds of tons eventually.

In one million kilo-watt nuclear power generator, it is said 400 tons of water is used for taking heat from fuel, turning a turbine, and cooling fuel again.

In other word, 100 tons of contaminated water could leak from the piping between the pressure reactor and the turbine building.

Now, it is suspected that tons of such water leaked onto the turbine building floor and further to a trench running down into the ground from the turbine building to its outside and peripheral 50 to 60 meters from the shore facing the North Pacific Ocean.

The trench is said to be big enough for a man to walk through, since it was installed for laying pipes and cables connecting each reactor unit while one unit building has a width of almost 100 meters.


PART 28-6:

NewScientist:

Yomiuri Daily Online reports that "many types of radioactive substances" have also been detected in seawater near the plant, including iodine-131, barium-140, lanthanum-140 and tellurium-132.

According to Yomiuri, based on the type of radioactive substances found in the seawater, the culprit is most likely to be damaged pipes connected to nuclear reactors that are discharging into the sea.

This would indicate the plant is leaking radiation from at least two sources: pipes and its core. Kyodo reports that radiation exceeding 1000 millisieverts per hour was detected in water in a trench outside the no. 2 reactor's turbine building yesterday afternoon.

As for possible leaks of plutonium from the mixed-oxide fuel reactor at no. 2, NHK reports that TEPCO say it is checking soil samples from around the plant for plutonium and will announce the results in a few days.

Press Release (Mar 28,2011)
Plant Status of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station (as of 12:00 AM Mar 28th)

[No update from the last release issued at 8:30 pm, March 27th]

All 6 units of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station have been shut down.

Unit 1 (Shut down)
- Explosive sound and white smoke were confirmed after the big quake occurred at 3:36 pm Mar 12th. It was assumed to be hydrogen explosion.
- At approximately 2:30 am on March 23rd, seawater was started to be injected to the nuclear　reactor through the feed water system.
- At approximately 10:50 am on March 24th, white fog-like steam arising from the roof part of the reactor building was observed.
- At approximately 11:30 am on March 24th, lights in the main control room was restored.
- We had been injecting sea water into the reactor, but from 3:37 pm on March 25th, we started injecting fresh water into it.

Unit 2 (Shut down)
- At approximately 6:00 am on March 15th, an abnormal noise began emanating from nearby Pressure Suppression Chamber and the pressure within this chamber decreased.
- At 6:20 pm on March 21st, white smoke was confirmed arising from the top of the reactor building. As of 7:11 am on March 22nd, smoke decreased to the level to nearly non-existent.
- We have been injecting sea water into the reactor, but from 10:10 am on March 26th, we started injecting fresh water (with boric acid) into it.
- At approximately 4:46 pm on March 26nd, the light in the main control room was turned on.
- Previously, we have been injecting fresh water in to the reactor utilizing fire pump, however, we have switched over to utilizing temporary electrical pump from 6:31 pm on March 27th.

Unit 3 (Shut down)
- Explosive sound and white smoke were confirmed at 11:01am March 4th. It was assumed to be hydrogen explosion.
- At 8:30am on March 16th, fog like steam was confirmed arising from the reactor building.
- At approximately 6:15 am on March 17th the pressure of the Suppression Chamber has temporarily increased. We were preparing to implement measures to reduce the pressure of the reactor containment vessel (partial discharge of air containing radioactive material to outside) in order to fully secure safety. However, at present, it is not a situation to immediately implement measures and discharge air containing radioactive material to outside. We will continue to monitor the status of the pressure of the reactor containment vessel.
- At approximately 4:00 pm, March 21st, light gray smoke was confirmed arising from the floor roof of the Unit 3 building. On March 22nd, the color of smoke changed to somewhat white and it is slowly dissipating.
- At approximately 10:45 pm on March 22nd, the light in the main control room was turned on.
- At around 4:20 pm on March 23rd, our staff confirmed light black smoke belching from the Unit 3 building. At approximately 11:30 pm on March 23rd and 4:50 am on March 24th, our employee found no signs of smoke.
- We had been injecting sea water into the reactor pressure vessel, but from 6:02 pm on March 25th, we started injecting fresh water into it.

...
Today's work for cooling the spent fuel pools
- We are considering further spraying subject to the conditions of spent fuel pools.

Casualty
- 2 workers of cooperative firm were injured at the occurrence of the earthquake, and were transported to the hospital on March 11th.
...
- On March 24th, it was confirmed that 3 workers from cooperative companies who were in charge of cable laying work in the 1st floor and the underground floor of turbine building were exposed to the radiation dose of more than 170 mSv. 2 of them were confirmed that their skins on legs were contaminated. Although they were decontaminated, since there was a possibility of beta ray burn injury, they were transferred to Fukushima Medical University Hospital. The third worker was also transferred to Fukushima Medical University Hospital on March 25th. After that, the 3 workers were transferred to National Institute of Radiological Sciences in Chiba Prefecture.

Regarding this event, TEPCO has reported to the related government ministries and agencies on measures to be taken to assure appropriate radiation dose control and radiation exposure related operations.Before today's restoration work, we will make notification to the concerned parties and continue to take all possible measures to future management.

Radiation from Japan n-plant detected in China
China News.Net
Sunday 27th March, 2011 (IANS)

Low levels of radiation from the quake-hit Fukushima nuclear plant in Japan has been detected in northeast China, authorities said.

The National Nuclear Emergency Coordination Committee confirmed Saturday that an 'infinitesimal' amount of radioactive iodine-131 was detected in the atmosphere in Heilongjiang province, according to China Daily.

The radiation was detected in monitoring stations in Dongning, Hulin, Raohe and Wusu townships, said Xu Lijuan, a senior radiation monitoring official.

However, the amount was only one-hundred-thousandth the normal level, and hence no protective measures were needed.

Japan nuclear plant data error was 'unacceptable'

The Japanese government has attacked the operator of a crippled nuclear plant for "unacceptable" mistakes.

The Tokyo Electric Power Company (Tepco) had said radiation levels were 10m times higher than normal before correcting the figure to 100,000 times...

Japan's nuclear watchdog said the level of radiation in water near reactor 2 was confirmed at 1,000 millisieverts an hour.

"It is an extremely high figure," said spokesman Hidehiko Nishiyama.

The radiation levels are so high, that emergency workers near the contaminated water would have received four times their maximum annual dose of radiation in just one hour.

Officials: Spike at Japan Nuke Plant an Error
By AP / YURI KAGEYAMA AND MARI YAMAGUCHI Sunday, Mar. 27, 2011

On Sunday night, though, plant operators said that while the water was contaminated with radiation, the extremely high reading was a mistake. "The number is not credible," said Tokyo Electric Power Co. spokesman Takashi Kurita. "We are very sorry"...

Officials say they still don't know where the radioactive water is coming from, though government spokesman Yukio Edano has said some is "almost certainly" seeping from a cracked reactor core in one of the units...

Just outside the coastal Fukushima nuclear plant, radioactivity in seawater tested about 1,250 times higher than normal last week — but that number had climbed to 1,850 times normal by the weekend. Hidehiko Nishiyama, a nuclear safety official, said the increase was a concern, but also said the area is not a source of seafood and that the contamination posed no immediate threat to human health.

From 9/11 2001 To 3/11 2011


The European-led civilization is now questioned in Japan and the Islamic nations.

In Japan, people have come to realize that modern science, technology, and business are all useless to prevent the great disaster from occurring at the most unlikely time.

In the Islamic nations, dictators and dictatorship having been bolstered by Western powers face collapse.

In the U.S., Hispanics population is growing at the highest pace among various ethnic groups.

At the start of 2010's, the world has come to start a great change of the old paradigm which has been built around the European technology, politics, and traditions.

If Europeans shout CO2 reduction for prevention of global warming, it will not work, since they do not sincerely try to abolish their way of material life: living based on modern technology, vastly imported energy, and globally deployed economy. Europeans want to keep a high standard of living while trying to avoid global warming. It is impossible. A high level of European living standard can be sustained by a huge energy use, aggressive applications of technology, and insatiable pursue of wealth through global business. It is not CO2 but desires of Europeans to keep a high living standard that is making the earth heated. (A nuclear power plant accident in Japan, triggered by the great tsunami on March 11, is therefore significant in this context related to CO2 reduction technology.)

Japan is the nation that has absorbed, applied, and advanced European science and technology the most in the world outside Europe and North America.

The Islamic nations have been offering oil and gas to Europe, North America, and Japan for so long. But, to be stable energy sources, they have to be controlled by European and American Christians politically. To control one dictator is easier than control tens of millions of people in a nation. So, Western powers accept dictatorship in the Middle East and North Africa.

The U.S. has been under the spirit of anti-Vatican Christians whose ancestors left Europe for various reasons, including religion and politics. But the era of dominance by Anglo-Saxon or North European Americans come to be ending. The President is always an African American. Hispanics are increasing in a number. Chinese will be also moving to America. The U.S. will inevitably lose its traditional roots. Accordingly, a paradigm in pursuing technological and political success might change. They will not pursue material American Dream like pure descendants of North Europeans as before any more.


The 2000's virtually started with the 9/11, 2001, Terror on the East Coast of America.

The 2010's seems to have virtually started with the 3/11, 2011 Tsunami on the Northeast Coast of Japan.

Indeed, it is 10 and a half years, since September 11, 2001.

On January 17, 1991, the U.S. started all-out air-raid attacks in the Persian Gulf, bombing Iraqi troops.

Mysterious Radiation


Nuclear power generation is based on a very primitive method to turn a turbine and generate electricity by supplying a flow of heated vapor to a turbine system. To produce heated vapor nuclear fuel is used.

However, nuclear fuel also releases radiation and produce radioactive material which is included in water circulating between a fuel vessel and the turbine system.

If this water leaks, it can contaminate the environment. But, in any such plant, leakage is common since facilities use many pipes and valves in addition to control electric devices and power cables.

The weak point is at this complexity around the nuclear fuel vessel or the pressure vessel.

So, the design concept should be changed to make safe the use of uranium or plutonium as fuel for electricity generation, so that it can be burnt without a fear of leakage.

For decades, the Japanese have been generous in supporting people around the world in times of need, providing extensive financial assistance to developing countries and spearheading rescue and relief activities when disasters have struck. Now it is time for the international community to step up and show the same concern for Japan.

Japanese authorities today confirmed a number of developments at the nuclear reactors at Fukushima Daiichi.

Unit 1

Workers have restored lighting in the control room and have recovered some instrumentation. As of 25 March, fresh water is now being pumped into the reactor pressure vessel (RPV) instead of seawater.

Unit 2

Seawater injection into the reactor pressure vessel continues, and RPV pressures remain stable.

Unit 3

Workers are now pumping fresh water into the RPV, while seawater is pumped into the spent fuel pool. In addition, firefighters sprayed water into the reactor building yesterday from the outside.

Unit 4

With no fuel in the RPV, concerns remain focused on the condition of the spent fuel pool, and workers continued to use a concrete pump truck to pour water into the pool from above while pumping seawater into the pool through the fuel pool cooling line.

It is known that almost 1000 years ago, a very big earthquake hit the same area that suffered the one on March 11, 2011.

At the time, also a big tsunami happened to invade inland.

So, the same thing has happened as an event that happens once in 1000 years.

If it had happened 100 years earlier or later, the Fukushima No.1 Nuclear Plant could pose no threat to Tokyo. If the tsunami had not been 14-meters high, the Fukushima No.1 Nuclear Plant could pose no threat to Tokyo now.

So, nobody sincerely tackled the nuclear plant to realize ultimate safety, because such damage could happen once in 1000 years. But, precisely the time came on March 11, 2011.

It is a fate, Fate of Japan. But, why on March 11, 2011? What is wrong with Japan or the world?

Maybe there are too many people who do not believe in God in Tokyo.

Yet, the U.S. suffered a terror on September 11, 2001, the space-shuttle Columbia accident in February 2003, Hurricane Katrina in August 2005, and the Lehman Shock in September 2008 in addition to the War on Terror since 2001.

The last time Japan experienced a major tragedy was the Kobe Great Earthquake in 1995, losing 6500 people.

So, in these 16 years, Japan has been comparatively in peace and prosperity with the only major problem of economic deflation.

Yet, since 1998, 30,000 people commit suicide every year in Japan.

And, some Japanese have started to take this tragedy as the anger of Heaven. But at what?




Joh 3:26 And they came unto John, and said unto him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou barest witness, behold, the same baptizeth, and all men come to him.

Tokyo




Year after Years: 2004, 2008, 2010, 2011 & 2011

In December 2004, the Great Sumatra Earthquake (M 9.1) and tsunami swept coastal areas of the Indian Ocean, taking 200,000 and more lives.

In May 2008, the Great Sichuan Earthquake hit a nuclear-facility converged area of China.

In January 2010, the Great Haiti Earthquake destroyed the capital, taking 300,000 lives eventually.

In February 2011, the Christchurch Earthquake killed scores of Japanese students who were learning in New Zealand.

Then, Tokyo Electric Power Corporation continued to use the Fukushima No.1 Nuclear Plant without implementing reinforcement work. The basic design of the Plant is based on 1960's US GE's engineering paradigm. It was just prepared for 4.5-meter high tsunami. It was not prepared for a scale of earthquake with magnitude 9.0 or of such one as observed once in thousand years in Japan.

They did not implement any reinforcement work onto the Fukushima Daiichi (No.1) Nuclear Power Plant, while M7.0-class earthquakes started to occur in the Pacific Ocean off the Plant or off the northeast part of Honshu Island, Japan as it entered 2011.

So, finally, March 11 of 2011 came with the magnitude 9.0 earthquake and 14-meter high tsunami.

Accordingly, the Fukuhsima No.1 Plant was drenched, damaged, and deprived of electricity, halting the circulation of water to cool nuclear fuel inside pressure vessels of the first, second, and third reactor units. The, heated metal cases of nuclear fuel emitted hydrogen gas to be ignited and exploded when it leaked outside the vessel and touched oxygen. Finally, ceilings and walls of the building housing the reactor vessels were blow off, leaking some radioactive materials to the air.

Indeed, in December 2004, the Great Sumatra Earthquake (M 9.3) and tsunami swept coastal areas of the Indian Ocean, taking 200,000 and more lives.

In May 2008, the Great Sichuan Earthquake hit a nuclear-facility converged area of China.

In January 2010, the Great Haiti Earthquake destroyed the capital, taking 300,000 lives eventually.

In February 2011, the Christchurch Earthquake killed scores of Japanese students who were learning in New Zealand.

So, finally, March 11 of 2011 came with the magnitude 9.0 earthquake and 14-meter high tsunami.

Yes, it rushed to the nuclear power plant designed based on 1960's US GE's engineering paradigm.

Consequently, some Tokyo citizens are today buying up mineral-water bottles, while 20,000 people lost their lives in the Tohoku Region.

It showed the "possible" accumulated radiation at the thyroid, if a one-year old infant had spent outside a house all-day long between March 12 and 23.

On this assumption, dangerous 100 milli sievert per hour radiation could be estimated beyond the 30-km boundary.

The U.S. and China depend on coal as the main energy source for electricity.

But, the U.S. and Japan as well as France depend on nuclear energy for power generation in a larger ratio.

The U.S. and Russia as well as Japan remarkably depend on natural gas in a high ratio.

Fukushima Radioactive Influence


It is estimated that the damage from the 3/11 Great Disaster could lower Japan's growth by 0.5 per cent.

Among 127 million population, evacuees are about 300,000 mostly in three prefectures of the Tohoku rehion: Iwate, Miyagi, and Fukushima.

However, the tragedy in the Fukushima No.1 Nuclear Power Plant located 250 kilometers northeast of Tokyo has a grave psychological influence on 30 million people living in the Kanto Plain around Tokyo Prefecture.

Yet, it is just 12 days after the tragic day of March 11, 2011.


(In addition, IRSN, a French agency, presented a radioactive diffusion simulation:

Geo-thermal generation is one of the most promising alternatives to the nuclear power generation.

Country...Geo-thermal generation (MW)...Ratio in total electricity
1. USA...2,534.1...0.2%
2. Philippines...1,930.8...14.4%
3. Mexico...953.0...2.2%
4. Indonesia...797.0...3.2%
5. Italy...790.5...1.0%
6. JAPAN...535.0...0.2%

(As of 2007)

However, Japan has the world third largest potential for geo-thermal generation.

Country....Potential Geo-thermal power
1. Indonesia...27,790 MW
2. USA...23,000 MW
3. JAPAN...22,070 MW

Probably, we have to stop construct more nuclear power plants but install geo-thermal electricity generation facilities.

Then, it will cover as much as 30% of total needs for electricity in Japan.

Atomic Energy Doubted


Globally intensive discussions are going on about the Fukushima nuclear power plant tragedy.

Even safety of Tokyo is focused on as some reports on vegetable contamination and seawater radioactive-influence are flowing widely in and outside Japan.

Yet, the core of the issue is about how much the pressure vessels where nuclear fuel is set can endure and how much the spent-fuel cooling pools can sustain its function.

When electricity from an external power source is provided each of four reactor units of the Fukushima No.1 Nuclear Power Plant, a clear answer will be obtained. So, we need still a little more time.


PART 22-16:

Electricity from an outside power source is now provided for Central Control Room of the 3rd reactor unit of the Fukushima No.1 Nuclear Power Plant.

Other units will have it to operate pumps for cooling fuel in the pressure vessels and the storage pools.


PART 22-15:

The 1st reactor unit of the Fukushima No.1 Plant was completed in 1971 with an expected scope of operation for 10 years.

It was originally intended to be closed down in 1981 but continued to operate till 2011.

Discussion Thread – Japanese nuclear reactors and the 11 March 2011 earthquake
Posted on 12 March 2011 by Barry Brook

At one plant, the 40-year old Fukushima Daiichi (unit #1 opened in 1971), the backup diesel generators supply power to the core cooling system failed (apparently due to damage from the tsunami). This allowed pressure to build up in at least one of the reactors cores to about 50% higher than normal (unit 1), and requires venting of very mildly radioactive steam (contains trace levels of tritium).

In January 2010, a big earthquake hit Haiti.

No Japanese are victimized.

In February of 2011, a big earthquake hit New Zealand, sacrificing 30 or so Japanese at Christchurch.

Then, big earthquakes and tsunami hit the northeast part of Honshu Island, Japan, taking lives of 20,000 people.

This series of warning must not be missed. A divine intension must be searched for. Why does Japan have to be hit so hard at this time, though in a series of the global natural disasters?

And, one answer may be nuclear power generation.

Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant at Crisis



A week has already passed since the occurrence of the great earthquake/tsunami disaster on March 11, 2011.

The main concern is now about the state of the Fukushima No.1 (Daiichi) Nuclear Power Plant where four nuclear reactors are installed.

The 1st and 3rd units had suffered a major hydrogen blast, blowing off ceilings and walls of their housing buildings.

The 4th unit was empty in its pressure vessel as all the fuel rods were placed in the cooling water pool, but now temperature of the pool has been increasing.

The second unit has its suppression pool under the reactor vessel partially blown as I reported on March 15.

http://eereporter.blogspot.com/2011/03/it-shall-bruise-thy-head-and-thou-shalt.html#links

Some vegetables taken in the Fukushina Prefecture, 200 km northeast of Tokyo, and the Ibaraki Prefecture, south of Fukushima, show a higher level of radiation than usual, though it is not threatening to the human body.

Tokyo and its adjacent areas are not threatened by the radioactive influences from the Fukushima No.1 Plant which is situated 250 km or 150 miles northeast of the metropolitan center of Tokyo.

Western Japan is a little affected by air and dust flowing from China, namely from the Asian continent to the Pacific Ocean.

Yet, some Japanese residents around Tokyo are reportedly heading for Western Japan, or the Osaka area, due to a possible radioactive influence.

Again, Western Japan is a little more affected than the Tokyo area by air and dust flowing from China, namely from the Asian continent to the Pacific Ocean.

Japan Quake May Have Shortened Earth Days, Moved Axis

His calculations indicate that by changing the distribution of Earth's mass, the Japanese earthquake should have caused Earth to rotate a bit faster, shortening the length of the day by about 1.8 microseconds (a microsecond is one millionth of a second).

The calculations also show the Japan quake should have shifted the position of Earth's figure axis (the axis about which Earth's mass is balanced) by about 17 centimeters (6.5 inches), towards 133 degrees east longitude.

Hydrogen-Gas Explosion of the 3rd Reactor Unit on March 14

Hydrogen-Gas Explosion of the 1st Reactor Unit on March 12

http://cnic.jp/files/earthquake20110311/CNICpresentation_20110319.pdf

The explosion has not remarkably damaged the containment vessel and the pressure vessel of the reactor in each unit.

The explosion was triggered by the power outage in the Plant due to the great earthquake and tsunami that occurred on March 11. Accordingly, the cooling pump of water circulating between the reactor pressure vessel and the turbine for electricity generation stopped in each unit. It then depleted water inside the vessel to have nuclear fuel exposed to the space in the vessel. Subsequently metal covers of nuclear fuel melted, generating hydrogen gas which sparked when leaking outside the vessel and touching oxygen. Then, the ceiling and walls of the unit building housing the vessels were blown off as the above pictures indicate.

Now, power restoration work is going on to operate the pumps on site, using an external power source.
