Tepco released photos of Reactor 1 / Fuel handling machine barely hung just above SFP

(Before It's News)

Tepco’s photos showed the reality of how Spent Fuel Pool remains in Reactor 1.

On 12/19/2014, Tepco released the photos of the inside of the upper part of Reactor 1. In order to remove the cover from Reactor 1, Tepco has been partially opening the building cover and investigating inside of the cover and the building. Those photos were taken from 11/21 to 12/3/2014.

As far as Fukushima Diary researches, this is the first time for Tepco to release the photos of the upper part of Reactor 1.

Those 16 photos revealed the entirely crippled building of Reactor 1.

From the photos and Tepco’s report, blasted roof of the building is scattered around the operating floor.

Overhead traveling crane lies over the fuel handling machine. The supporting fuel handling machine is bent and barely hung right above the spent fuel pool (See photo below).

Tepco announced none of the parts of fuel handling system dropped into the pool, however only one photo was released.

Additionally, even in the only published photo, a few pieces of debris are sticking out of the pool.

Other photos are also attached below.
