Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant Repair Work in Progress

Handout photo shows : Work is underway to partially open the structures and extinguish 2 points of combustion in the roof insulation. Three groups of SES climbers are at work. The situation is constantly monitored by a drone equipped with a thermal camera. Radiation levels at the industrial site of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant do not exceed the norm, and there is no threat to the population. The situation is under control. Last week, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky accused Russia of damaging the containment arch of the damaged Chernobyl nuclear power plant with an explosive drone. This morning, the Ukrainian emergency services transmitted these new photos of the repair work underway on the building. Pripyat, Ukraine on February 18, 2025.

Toho Gas' "Air Ratio Visualization System" for Monitoring Combustion Conditions

Toho Gas Co., Ltd. has developed the "Air Ratio Visualization System," a system to monitor the combustion condition of gas burners for industrial furnaces used in heat treatment and aluminum melting by measuring the difference between the theoretical required amount of air and the amount of air during combustion. The system can be done at low cost, employing general-purpose products such as oxygen sensors for automobile exhaust gas and EMS controllers for information transmission equipment. The system will be used to strengthen services as a solution for energy saving and efficient maintenance. The system has been narrowed down to the oxygen concentration measurement function, making it easier to use general-purpose products. However, if an automotive exhaust gas sensor is used as is, it will lose its output after about six months, so we developed our own control logic to extend its life.
