Tepco failed in TIP pipe soundness inspection in reactor2 again

(Before It's News)

Since 7/8/2013, Tepco has been trying to inspect TIP guide pipe soundness in reactor2 but they failed with all of the 4 cable lines.

It was the second attempt to follow their inspection of February.

Tepco lost another clue to know what is inside of reactor2.

Since 7/8/2013, Tepco has been inserting 4 cable lines into TIP (Traversing In-core Probe) guide pipe of reactor2 PCV.

Tepco found unverified substance (~ 0.2 Sv/h, γ&β) on the top of the 4 cables but they couldn’t have a cable reach longer than 9.6m.

They don’t have a next plan yet.
