No gauges or instrumentation were built into the reactor containments to provide the water level for flooding the fuel so TEPCO has a plan to install a gauge. An air filtering system is being installed in the Unit 1 reactor building to reduce airborne contamination. This will make it safer and increase the stay time for workers. Plans call for installing a water level gauge and a heat exchanger for removing the heat in the water.
Government officials are facing more protests about the situation. In response to raising the allowable radiation level for children in the affected areas parents delivered a bag of contaminated soil to the parliament. A top level advisor resigned in protest to the government actions. A group of shareholders proposed a motion calling for TEPCO to close all its nuclear plants.
