Square pyramidal structure with circular opening in Futaba

Futaba Corporation (Harima Town, Hyogo Prefecture) has developed a processing technology that can reduce the number of welding points from two to one on a square pyramid-shaped structure with a circular opening (photo). Rounded corner structures are used as ventilation fan ducts, hoppers, etc. By reducing the number of joints from two to one, the time and effort required for welding can be reduced, and the thermal degeneration of the material caused by welding can be minimized. In 2018, the company developed a press processing technology that can reduce the weld area of a circular structure with a circular opening to one side. This time, the company has applied the same processing method to round-cornered structures, making it possible to make welds on one side.

Soil freezing at Fukushima plant to start

File photo taken in December 2015 at the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant in northeastern Japan shows ducts to be used to create frozen underground walls to prevent radioactive water from accumulating further at the plant. Tokyo Electric Power Co. will start freezing the soil there on March 31, 2016. (Kyodo) ==Kyodo

No. 2 unit at Fukushima Daiichi plant

TOKYO, Japan - Handout photo shows temporarily installed air ducts (L) for filtering the air inside the No. 2 reactor at the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in Fukushima Prefecture on June 11, 2011. Tokyo Electric Power Co. began operating the ventilation equipment with filters to absorb radioactive materials to reduce radiation levels inside the reactor building on the same day. The image is not crisp because it was taken by a camera covered with a plastic bag. (Photo courtesy of TEPCO)(Kyodo)
