Changsha, March 24 (Hunan News Network) -- It has been one year since the earthquake in Japan, and as usual, a red and yellow pump truck has once again extended its boom to shoot in all directions, and has been measuring the nuclear radiation situation in Fukushima 24 hours a day.

"I believe that our old comrade-in-arms 'Big Giraffe' will continue to fulfill its mission." Owada looked at the pump truck from afar and blessed it.

As an employee of TEPCO, 36-year-old Owada*5656 stepped forward to participate in the rescue of the Fukushima nuclear power plant. He and 45-year-old Sakai are in charge of operating the Sany pump truck, which was donated from China.

Pump trucks, known as the "Great Giraffe" by the Japanese, began to fill the plant with water until May 31, when the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant's units 1, 3 and 4 gradually restored their own cooling systems. Subsequently, the Sany pump truck still carried out the task of extending the boom for detection. According to the Japanese personnel, the pump truck is currently running in good condition and there is no failure.

At the 20-kilometer guard post in front of the Fukushima cordon zone, the police known as the "Ultraman Assault Team" take turns guarding the area. According to reports, the main job of the Fukushima nuclear power plant at present is to wait for the nuclear reactor to cool down. After two years, the working group will start operations to remove spent fuel from the reactors of units 1 to 4; Within 10 years, the recovery of fuel that fell outside the reactor containment vessel due to melting will begin; The fuel recovery operation will be completed in 20 to 25 years; The dismantling of the facility will begin in 30 to 40 years.

In the later closure phase of the Fukushima nuclear power plant, the Sany pump truck may play a role again to carry out the concrete sealing work. Because the pump truck is covered with radioactive material, it cannot be taken out of the site, and it will eventually be dismantled and buried.

In addition, after this transnational assistance, Sany's popularity in Japan has been continuously improvedTow pump, reach stackers have entered the Japanese market one after another. Last month, Sany Japan Pumping Agents purchased 10 pump trucks at a time for reconstruction after the earthquake in Japan.
