There is currently no power via  off-site power supply or backup diesel generators being provided to the  plant. Seawater and boron are being injected into the reactor vessel to  cool the reactor. Due to the explosion on 12 March, the outer shell of  the containment building has been lost.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: medium\">Unit 2 is being powered by mobile power generators on site, and work  continues to restore power to the plant. There is currently neither  off-site power supply nor backup diesel generators providing power to  the plant. The reactor core is being cooled through reactor core  isolation cooling, a procedure used to remove heat from the core. The  current reactor water level is lower than normal but remains steady. The  outer shell of the containment building is intact at Unit 2.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: medium\">Unit 3 does not have off-site power supply nor backup diesel  generators providing power to the plant. As the high pressure injection  system and other attempts to cool the reactor core have failed,  injection of water and boron into the reactor vessel has commenced.  Water levels inside the reactor vessel increased steadily for a certain  amount of time but readings indicating the water level inside the  pressure vessel are no longer showing an increase. The reason behind  this is unknown at this point in time. To relieve pressure, venting of  the containment started on 13 March at 9:20 am local Japan time.  Planning is underway to reduce the concentration of hydrogen inside the  containment building. The containment building is intact at Unit 3.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: medium\">The IAEA is seeking information about the status of spent fuel at the Daiichi plant.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;color: #ffcc00\">\u0391\u03c0\u03bf\u03c3\u03c4\u03bf\u03bb\u03ae: \u0393\u03b9\u03ce\u03c1\u03b3\u03bf\u03c2 \u0398\u03b1\u03bb\u03b1\u03c3\u03c3\u03b9\u03bd\u03cc\u03c2<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u039c\u03ac\u03bb\u03bb\u03bf\u03bd \u03b7 \u03c0\u03b9\u03bf \u03ad\u03b3\u03ba\u03c5\u03c1\u03b7 \u03c3\u03b5\u03bb\u03af\u03b4\u03b1 \u03c0\u03bb\u03b7\u03c1\u03bf\u03c6\u03cc\u03c1\u03b7\u03c3\u03b7\u03c2, \u03bc\u03b5 \u03c3\u03c5\u03bd\u03b5\u03c7\u03ae \u03b5\u03bd\u03b7\u03bc\u03ad\u03c1\u03c9\u03c3\u03b7: IAEA.org 17.45 CET on 14 March 2011 IAEA Director General Briefs Media on Nuclear Safety in Japan At 17.45 CET on 14 March 2011, IAEA Director General Yukiya Amano briefed the media on the consequences of the twin natural disasters in Japan.
