At around 8:20 AM today (July 18), an associated company worker, investigating the site using a camera ahead of debris removal work, encountered a steam-like gas wafting through the air near the central part of the fifth floor (equipment storage pool side) of Unit 3.
No significant change was found in the main parameters related to the plant (temperature, pressure and xenon density of PCV/RPV).
Neither was any significant fluctuation found in the monitoring post readings or the continuous dust monitor amounts.
We will announce the results of our investigation as soon as they are ready.
