YOKOTA AIR BASE, Japan -- Airmen from the 374th Maintenance Squadron carry a custom made reduction flange here March 26. Two teams of four Airmen on 12-hour shifts designed and created the necessary adapters, pressure valves and other pieces so Japanese crews can use a water pump - donated by the US government - to augment the Fukushima nuclear plant’s cooling system. The pump will be used to transport fresh water into the plant instead of ocean water, which leaves corroding salt residue when it evaporates. The project is one more way Team Yokota has supported Operation Tomodachi, the overall relief mission to help the Japanese people in their recovery efforts.
