Where are we in the reactor building?
We are in front of the entrance to the Primary Containment Vessel (PCV) in the Unit 5 reactor building.
What do the G, Y and R zones refer to?
Site areas are color-coded based on the level of contamination.
The three zone colors are the same as a traffic light: G (for Green), Y (for Yellow) and R (for Red).
- G zone
- Workers may wear simple dust masks and regular uniforms
- Y zone
- Workers must wear protective clothing and a full or half-face mask
- R zone
- Workers must wear protective clothing and a full-face mask
- G zone equipment
- Y zone / R zone equipment
From here into the PCV is a Y zone because the reactor was in operation prior to the accident and dust containing radioactive materials that still remain in the PCV may cling to clothing.
Is this unit currently generating power?
No. The decision has already been made to decommission Units 5 and 6.
What are these bags?
When crossing zone boundaries, workers must remove clothing and equipment to prevent spreading contamination.
These bags are used to sort equipment by type.
Used clothing and equipment is stored safely as it awaits incineration.
What is Unit 5 used for now?
Unit 5 is being used to deliberate fuel debris retrieval methods because its Primary Containment Vessel (PCV) is similar in structure to Units 2~4.
