Four coolant leaks found in Fukushima nuke plant 'ice wall' pipes

 

Coolant has been found leaking from pipes in the underground wall of frozen soil surrounding reactor buildings at the tsunami-ravaged Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station at four locations, its operator said. According to Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings, Inc. (TEPCO), the coolant liquid contains calcium chloride, commonly used as a snow-melting agent, and is not an environmental contaminant. The utility has confirmed that a total of about 20 cubic meters of the coolant has leaked from the pipes. Though the coolant supply to the leaking pipes has been halted, TEPCO does not expect the ice wall to suffer any loss of function. The pipes concerned are between the plant's No. 2 and No. 3 reactor buildings.

 

TEPCO noticed the problem in late 2019 when the volume in a coolant tank dropped abnormally. Workers examined the ice wall piping and found leaks in the joints. The company is poised to investigate the cause of the leak and replace the problematic parts.

 

The utility started the operation of the underground wall of frozen soil at the stricken complex in 2016. Coolant chilled to minus 30 degrees Celsius is circulated through buried pipes, freezing the soil around the reactor buildings to prevent ground water from flowing into the structures.

Morgan Stanley CEO Gorman's total 2019 pay falls 7% to $27 million

 

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Morgan Stanley (MS.N) said on Friday that its board lowered Chief Executive Officer James Gormanโ€™s total compensation for 2019 to $27 million, from $29 million in 2018, according to regulatory filings.

 

Gormanโ€™s compensation is comprised of four parts: a base salary of $1.5 million; a cash bonus of $6.375 million; a deferred equity award of $6.375 million; and a performance-vested equity award of $12.75 million.

 

The board again required that 75% of Gormanโ€™s incentive compensation be deferred over three years subject to a claw-back, and for all of that compensation to be paid in the form of equity in the company.
