    Dismantlement of exhaust stack at crippled Fukushima plant

    Photo taken Aug. 1, 2019, from a Kyodo News helicopter shows the 120-meter exhaust stack (R) for the Nos. 1 and 2 reactors of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, crippled in the wake of a major earthquake and tsunami in 2011 in northeastern Japan. The stack was used to release highly radioactive vapor during the disaster. The plant's operator Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings Inc. began dismantling part of the stack to reduce the risk of collapse. (Kyodo) ==Kyodo

          IHI's ocean current power generation system demonstrator "KAIRYU

          IHI's ocean current power generation system demonstrator "KAIRYU

          On the 25th, IHI unveiled its underwater floating power generation system demonstrator "KAIRYU" (photo) at its Yokohama Works (Isogo Ward, Yokohama City). It is being developed as part of a project by the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO), and generates electricity by turning 11-meter diameter fiberglass turbine blades underwater with the power of ocean currents. Compared to the previous operation, the autonomous control program that adjusts the tilt of the turbine blades and the floating structure during operation has been improved, and rectifier plates have been added so that the ocean currents will hit the blades more efficiently. Power generation efficiency is 50-70%, which is higher than that of solar power (12%), onshore wind power (20%), and offshore wind power (over 30%).
