A major piece of debris was dropped into SFP3 while they were removing debris from the pool, according to Tepco.

The dropped debris was the operation desk of the refueling machine.

Around 12:45 of 8/29/2014 (JST), Tepco attempted to grab the operation desk by an unmanned crane, but they dropped it to the middle eastern side of the pool.

The ambient dose near the pool remains 3.2 mSv/h, which is not changed after the accident, Tepco announced.

At this moment, Tepco is investigating the state of the pool.
