Accident at Fukushima Units 1~3 State of SSCs after the earthquake struck (1F-1) Attachment - 1 Reactor pressure analysis and visual confirmation were conducted to confirm effects of the earthquake for Unit 1 Reactor pressure analysis Technical findings for hearing opinion of NISA Technical findings about Fukushima Daiichi for hearing opinion of NISA reported that if less than 0.3 cm2 crack occurred, it is not clear RPV pressure difference to check the leakage of coolant. On the other hand, if there is ca, 0.3 cm2 crack, it effects the accident progression so that amount of 10 ton water leaks from RPV The RPV pressure analysis was conducted under the PCV pressure conditions of occurring 0.3 cm2 crack as to these findings The safety regulations requires that the coolant leak rate to PCV is within 0.23 m3/h.Following figure shows that the result of 0.23m3/h crack occurs Earthquake Result of RPV pressure (correspond to 8mm2@vapor condition, 2mm2@liquid condition ) / SCRAM IC automatically start up This analysis show that analytical value and s] b measured value did not a,a 8mm2(vopor condition) make significant deference.
