Reactor #2 recently increased in temperature down near the bottom of the reactor. The nuclear geniuses in Japan could only respond by increasing the amount of water injection. We have thousands of tons of highly contaminated water sitting in welded make shift tanks. No place to put it. No way to properly clean it. And no one wants it. So everyone just ignores it. Its not going away and those welded tanks will eventually fail.

Latest info is that the temperature has started to increase again. If it reaches 80 C, cold shutdown is officially over. This is because the gages have a 20 C error margin. At 100 C, no cold shutdown. It is currently 78 C and Tepco as usual has failed to report their latest failure. And the cold shutdown was nothing but a lie to begin with, since about 2/3 of the total cores in three reactors have left the RPV. So we are about to enter the hot stage of the middle of this crisis.
