Takahama NPP discovered In Unit 1 of Japan's Takahama Nuclear Power Plant in Fukui Prefecture, a steam leak was discovered in a pipe and large amounts of cooling water were leaking elsewhere. No radiation was released, no one was injured and the power plant reduced its output by 40%, NHK reported, citing plant operator Kansai Electric...
Due to incorrect control, too much water is forced into the reactor for emergency cooling. According to various sources, between 200 m³ and 400 m³ of radioactive cooling water (approx. 280 degrees Celsius) enter the reactor building through pressure relief valves. After about ten minutes the water is about three meters high and the temperature has risen to around 80 degrees Celsius. Here is to...
to 64,5 billion euros. Due to the drought and heat in Europe in 2022, the output of five of a total of 18 French nuclear power plants had to be reduced. Nuclear power plants require cooling water, for example from rivers, and release heated water again. According to EDF, the production loss due to high river water temperatures and low river water volumes since 2000 has been...
of the safety container. "There (...) the outside world was only protected from radiation by highly radioactive cooling water from reactor block A for 15 hours by a barrier, the so-called secondary barrier." The incident was not reported by the operator, but was discovered days later by the regulator during an investigation into another fault at the nuclear power plant. At the...

and the display devices in the control room. 11 pumps were no longer running, and it was only because the twelfth pump happened to be connected to the power supply of the functioning reactor 2 that there was enough cooling water available and a core meltdown was avoided. This near-meltdown was consistently kept secret by the GDR leadership until the fall of the Wall. In “tagesschau.de” the date was the 7th...
classified with INES level 2, occurred in 2002: Due to an accidentally opened valve, there was a pressure drop in the primary circuit in the Tihange nuclear power plant and cooling water evaporated. If the safety systems had not responded, a meltdown could have resulted. Wikipedia Tihange Nuclear Power Plant On November 22, 2002, an accident occurred in Unit 2...
Serious accident during fuel exchange of the nuclear-powered submarine K-314. When the reactor lid was replaced, improper handling caused a spontaneous chain reaction. The cooling water suddenly evaporated and the reactor core was thrown onto the pier by the explosion. 29 people received high doses of radiation, another 10 people died from a fatal...

opened due to pressure. After the pressure transient was reduced, it unexpectedly got stuck in the open position (as it did before the core meltdown accident in Three Mile Island in 1979). Due to the associated loss of cooling water, the emergency cooling switched on automatically (here, in contrast to Three Mile Island, it was not switched off again by the staff by mistake). After about fifteen minutes...

June 1961 (INES 3 | NAMS 4) Windscale/Sellafield nuclear plant, GBR A leak in an evaporator released large quantities of plutonium-containing liquid (540 TBq) into the cooling water over a long period of time. Although it was the eleventh largest release of radioactivity in the world, we have no further information. (Costs approximately US$800 million) Nuclear Power...

that pumps concrete down to the seabed. The one kilometer long underwater tunnel is currently being built there, through which the operator Tepco wants to pump filtered and diluted cooling water from the reactors into the Pacific by summer at the latest.
