Accident at the Fukush Ima nuclear Plant 2 involved a 784megawatt Light water the most widely used reactor design in the it uses Ordinary water for Cooling and to moderate the flow of neutrons that split the atoms that produce nuclear the emergency system that went into effect at the Plant is the last Reli Able defence against a Core melt the system pours Cooling water on to a reactors nuclear fuel rods to prevent them from reaching dangerously High a meltdown could occur if a reactors rods heat to the Point where their uranium fuel starts to melt and collects in a puddle on the reactor a partial meltdown occurred during the nuclear Accident at three mile Island in on March the worst commercial Accident in tuesdays Accident was caused when a Plant operator mistakenly flipped a that informed the control computer that a backup water pump was operating when it actually was said Ryuko chief of the ministry of International Trade and Industry nuclear safety the computer then automatically shut off another leaving Only one primary pump supplying water to the reactors Cooling the insufficient Supply of water to Cool the reactor caused another group of backup pumps to Fujii Russia u China he said Plant operators corrected their mistake within a min but it was too late to keep the water level from the Cooling water initially fell one triggering an emergency shutdown the water continued to fall and the Emer gency Cooling system kicked in the water level fell to about metres above the fuel but they were never exposed during the said a company the fact that the fuel
