Fukushima worker suspects the heating gauge is not broken

Actual Fukushima worker, Happy20790 suspects the heating gauge is not broken.

Having reactor2 heated over 80℃, he tweeted like this below.

続き1:例え温度計が壊れてたとしても温度計は修理出来ないし残り二つの温度計も壊れてしまったらどうするんだろ?オイラは壊れてないと思うんだけど。デブリ状況も温度計との位置関係も水の流れもわからないけど現象として一カ所だけ上がるのは不思議じゃないと思うんだ。Source

Even if it’s true that the heating gauge is broken, we can’t fix it, and what if other 2 gauges got broken too ? I don’t think it’s broken though. I don’t know the distance of the nuclear debris and heating gauge, nor the flow of cooling water but I think it’s likely that only one part gets heated.

続き2:それに壊れてたとしても、どういう壊れ方かはわかんないけど熱電対温度計は断線や端子の問題だとしたら針は+か-に振り切れるはずだし…。ノイズの話も納得いかないし…。また東電はホースと同じように実証試験して再現確認するのかなぁ…。Source

and even if it’s actually broken again, I don’t know how it can be broken but breaking wire or problem of a terminal makes it indicate maximum + or – in case of thermocouple thermometer. It can’t be noise either. I wonder if Tepco will try to repro agian..

続き4:冷温停止宣言さえしてなければ一つの事象として捉えて色々対処分析できるんだけど、宣言の手前なんとしてでも温度を越えないようにって云う政府と東電の必死な態度が見えて、意地で無理して冷却水の量を増やしたりホウ酸入れてるとしか思えないんだ。Source

Only if they haven’t declared cold shutdown, we could treat it in variety of ways as an accident but because Tepco and Japanese government have to keep it lower than 100℃ not to let it deny the state of cold shutdown, knowing it causes additional problems, they are putting boric acid and increasing water amount.

  1. I am just a member of the public but if there is technology sitting in space that can measure the temperatures of planets, the amount of radiation given off from parts of Japan and to be able to differentiate the specific subtype of cesium, then why can’t they think to look at reactor 2 and see if it’s hot inside there or not????

    If the thermometer is broken then what if the remaining two break? What then? The Japanese Gov / Tepco need to remove their heads from the sand like Ostriches and ask the USA for a bit of satellite air time to understand if we are truly facing a potential new meltdown. There needs to be a plan B in case the sensors stop working. Satellite technology seems a no brainer to me. If the sensor isn’t broken, then how are they going to prevent recriticality? Hope that the Boric acid will do the job?
    Although they appear to be doing their best, they are clearly eat out of their depth. I’m not sure the USA/French/Russians can assist this aspect because this is a whole new ball game on this but the Japanese gov should consult them for help.

    Japan needs to understand that this is a WORLD problem and not to be so proud to not ask for more help.

    God Help Us All.

    1. Sir
      I salute you for standing up, when others seek only to hide from the truth!

      It is people just like you that, one by one, will start to ask your Leaders the same questions, over and over, until the MSM also starts to asks the same questions until TEPCO is forced to answer them too!

      Now that TEPCO is partially owned by the Public, should they not answer questions from the public? Does the public now have a member sitting on the TEPCO Board that can demand answers for the Public?

      Please tell US what is wrong with this “Picture” of the Japanese nuclear culture?

      1. Tepco is one the “GANGS” that runs Japan.
      2. What is good for TEPCO is good for Japan.
      3. The Japanese people MUST OBEY TEPCO for the “GOOD” of the Country.
      4. The financial health of TEPCO is more important than the physical health,
      … of the Japanese People and that also includes all their FUTURE children!
      5. Only TEPCO knows what is best, all others must BOW to TEPCO’s Rule.

  2. The initial reports half a year ago was 3 bretched vessels and no we are feed drivel again. We have no idea of whats the over all picture and all the talk about gauges(temp) is somehow a diversion.
    We know that the corium is out of the representative vessels (1.2.3) and what ever the temp messurments must indicate is something else.

    Is the ground underneath warming up, or/and is the heat spreading to the vessels fundaments and the vessel it self, because they admitted that the coriums are infact
    I wounder if not the hole area is heating up, slowly.
    From undrneath the reactore sites.
    A China syndrome.
    I dont trust them at all, because the messurments could be done better, with Heat sigatures or IR/UV. Instead we are feed shitt.

    What is realy going on in Fukushima.
    We dont know, but the bullshitt is flowing.

    peace

      RE: The Corium(s), I think one or more of the corium(s) are plunging (in slow motion) downward into the soil below the complex and are being helped along by Gravity (because of their great Mass), additional Earth Quakes and they are already interacting with the groundwater as it rises and falls due to rainfall and or snow fall in the higher elevations above Fukushima!

      TEPCO’s claim of “cold shutdown” is just more Nuclear Baloney (NB); and the Pro Professionals are just mouthing the Industry “line”… The Nuclear Industry has lots of money to “sell its Nuclear Baloney (NB)* to the masses! Remember to them “Business is War” and they are fighting to save their Market share of the Energy Market; expect them to use every possible tactic they can to push their agenda that Nuclear is the best. even though it is only the “best” for them, not Japan!

      Nature knows better and the Corium(s) whose location is still unknown are starting and stoping fissioning in what I call “the Fuky Effect.”…

      I think nearby water is being heated and is now starting to form radioactive steam which is seeping upward.

  3. They could easily fly a drone over it and check the temperature with sufficient accuracy to determine if something in there is 80 or 90 degrees. They don’t want to do that, apparently

    1. Yes, they know what is going on there but will not talk!

      What is wrong with this “Picture”?

      1. Tepco is one the “GANGS” that runs Japan.
      2. What is good for TEPCO is good for Japan.
      3. The Japanese people MUST OBEY TEPCO for the “GOOD” of the Country.
      4. The financial health of TEPCO is more important than the physical health,
      … of the Japanese People and all their FUTURE children!
      5. Only TEPCO knows what is best, all others must BOW to TEPCO’s Rule.

      Japan is now a majority TEPCO Stock Owner, where is their TEPCO Board seat and who is asking questions and demanding answers for all those in Tokyo receiving TEPCO’s radioactiv­e fallout?

      This is UNACCEPTAB­LE!

      Who wants to star in a Japanese radioactiv­e pollution Film!

    1. hink about it, any shaking or Earth movement will cause the 3 “missing corium(s) to restart what I call “The Fuky Effect” and I expect to see increased signs of radiation in Northern Japan as well as additional temperatur­e spikes “in temperatur­e gauges that are not reading properly” at Fukushima!

About this site

This website updates the latest news about the Fukushima nuclear plant and also archives the past news from 2011. Because it's always updated and added live, articles, categories and the tags are not necessarily fitted in the latest format.
I am the writer of this website. About page remains in 2014. This is because my memory about 311 was clearer than now, 2023, and I think it can have a historical value. Now I'm living in Romania with 3 cats as an independent data scientist.
Actually, nothing has progressed in the plant since 2011. We still don't even know what is going on inside. They must keep cooling the crippled reactors by water, but additionally groundwater keeps flowing into the reactor buildings from the broken parts. This is why highly contaminated water is always produced more than it can circulate. Tepco is planning to officially discharge this water to the Pacific but Tritium is still remaining in it. They dilute this with seawater so that it is legally safe, but scientifically the same amount of radioactive tritium is contained. They say it is safe to discharge, but none of them have drunk it.
