The “broken” thermometer is indicating temperature reaching almost 250℃ in reactor2

Two thermometers of reactor2 (RPV) have been indicating temperature increase since last December.

Tepco labelled them as “broken”, but the indicated temperature started increasing again.

Two thermometers are showing the similar trend though they are supposed to be broken, the highest one is almost reaching 250℃.

Tepco is refusing disclosing the diagram of the thermometers for saving “intellectual property of Toshiba”. [URL]

Le thermomètre “cassé” du réacteur 2 indique que la température atteint au moins 250 ℃

Deux thermomètres du réacteur 2 (de sa RPV, enceinte de confinement du réacteur) indiquaient une montée en température depuis décembre dernier.

Tepco les a classés comme “cassés” alors que la température indiquée recommençait d’augmenter.

Les deux thermomètres présentent une tendance similaire à l’augmentation alors qu’ils sont soi-disant cassés, le plus chaud atteint presque les 250 ℃.

Tepco refuse de divulguer le schéma  de ces thermomètres pour “protéger la propriété intellectuelle de Toshiba”. [Lien]

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.
