but the reactor could not be put back into operation until four years later. An IAEA report said they initially found increased radiation in a cleaning pool near the reactor core and opened the cleaning system. "It turned out that the majority of the 30 fuel elements overheated and were severely damaged or melted due to a lack of cooling...

Radioactive waste was simply pressed into the ground - in water-bearing layers. Near the River Tom, radioactivity is up to 30 times higher than normal background radiation. "In addition, increased concentrations of cobalt-58, chromium-51, zinc-65 and "lots of plutonium were found in the soil." The concentration of cesium-137 in the groundwater is as high as in the contaminated...

ON, CAN Nuclear power plantsPlag Pickering_(Canada) The grassroots organization Sierra Club Canada protested against the life extension in 2013 and called for the nuclear power plant to be shut down immediately due to aging, increasing radiation and increasing release of tritium. In June 2010, unexpected beta-gamma radiation from reactors 5 to 8 was released into water. At the...
that "the packaging and moisture absorption material silica gel had not been removed from a fuel assembly and then blocked the cooling channel." The water vapor released radioactive radiation into the surrounding area. This was just the latest in a long series of incidents at this reactor.
