[Photo] Reactor 1 could have been severely collapsed if M4.8 occurred 6 hours earlier on 11/19

(Before It's News)

Tepco’s decommissioning attempt could have collapsed the crippled Reactor 1 on 11/19/2015.

This is not largely recognized by the mass media.

According to Tepco, they started removing the minor debris from Reactor 1 building by using a special type of a vacuum (See photos attached below).

The vacuum is hung by a crane. It removed the small pieces of concrete from 8:16 to 12:26 of 11/19/2015. As shown in their photos, the vacuuming facility was nearly touching the steel frames of Reactor 1.

On the same day, a major earthquake occurred offshore Fukushima at 18:33 (JST). The magnitude was 4.8. Seismic intensity 4 was observed in Namiemachi.

Tepco reported they found no abnormality in the plant status 2 hours after the quake.

The earthquake-proof of the vacuum and soundness of Reactor 1 are not announced. Tepco did not report what would have happened to Reactor 1 if the quake hit Fukushima only 6 hours earlier.
