2 3/11 14:47:33 93 0.03 Reactor scram
3 3/11 14:48:03 123 0.03 MSIV closed
4 3/11 14:50:00 240 0.07 RCIC manually started
5 3/11 14:51:00 300 0.08 RCIC automatically tripped (L-8)
6 3/11 15:02:00 960 0.27 RCIC manually started
7 3/11 15:07:00 1,260 0.35 S/C pool cooling by RHR
8 3/11 15:25:00 2,340 0.65 S/C pool cooling by RHR terminated and S/C spray by RHR started
9 3/11 15:28:00 2,520 0.70 RCIC automatically tripped (L-8)
10 3/11 15:36:00 3,000 0.83 Tsunami hit
11 3/11 15:37:00 3,060 0.85 S/C spray by RHR terminated
12 3/11 15:39:00 3,180 0.88 RCIC manually started
13 3/11 15:41:00 3,300 0.92 Station black-out
14 3/12 03:17:00 45,060 12.52 CST found by the operator with low water level (30% full against 68% at the beginning of the accident)
15 3/12 04:20:00 48,840 13.57 Switching water source of RCIC from CST to S/C
16 3/14 13:25:00 254,340 70.65 Loss of RCIC function was judged from the decreasing reactor water level
17 3/14 16:34:00 265,680 73.80 Operation to open one SRV started for reactor depressurization
18 3/14 16:34:00 265,680 73.80 Working for seawater injection through fire protection line started
19 3/14 18:00:00 270,840 75.23 Reactor pressure started to decrease by opening one SRV and depressurization was confirmed
20 3/14 19:20:00 275,640 76.57 Fire engines were found to have halted due to depletion of fuel
21 3/14 19:54:00 277,680 77.13 Restarting 1st fire engine
22 3/14 19:57:00 277,860 77.18 Restarting 2nd fire engine
23 3/14 21:20:00 282,840 78.57 Opening other 2 SRVs and reactor pressure decreased and reactor water level increased
24 3/15 01:10:00 296,640 82.40 Opening one SRV
25 3/15 02:22:00 300,960 83.60 Operation to try to open SRV started
26 3/15 06:00:00 314,040 87.23 Impact sound occurred S/C pressure indicator showed 0 MPa (it has been judged that the impact sound came from Uni-4 explosion)
