The weight of the corium sample extracted at the second unit of the Fukushima Daiichi NPP is 0.7 g AtomInfo.Ru, PUBLISHED 14.11.2024 A sample of corium extracted from the containment of unit No. 2 of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant (Japan) weighs 0.7 grams. This was reported by TEPCO, the operator of the plant. The sample was recovered during a lengthy operation that began in August 2024 and was interrupted twice due to equipment failures. The sample has now been transferred to the Japan Atomic Energy Agency for a thorough examination. The company noted that the hydrogen concentration in the sample is below the detectable level. The dose rate from the sample is 0.2 mSv/h at a distance of 20 cm.
