Analysis of the presence of plutonium in the first nuclear power plant in Fukushima.

On March 27, Tokyo Electric Power Company clarified that they gathered the soil in the first nuclear power plant in Fukushima and requested the analysis of the presence of plutonium from external organizations.

Plutonium is very toxic and the danger of carcinogenesis rises when a person inhales it.

The analysis result is expected to be obtained by the end of several days.

According to the announcement of Tokyo Electric Power Company, it is at two organizations (Japan Atomic Energy Agency and the Japan analysis center) that they requested the analysis.

They gathered the soil in five places in the site of the first nuclear power plant on the 21st and 22nd, and the analysis is said to be started on the 23rd.

Air in the site will be analyzed in the future.

The neutron is absorbed, the uranium is changed into plutonium in the nuclear reactor, and plutonium is contained in the spent nuclear fuel.

In the third machine, the plutonium-thermal power generation with plutonium uranium mixed oxide (MOX) fuel was executed.
