Latest temp reports from #2 (79.1 C). Looks like the Cold Shutdown Lie will come to an end soon. Now Tepco/Japan is trying to keep the dance going by suggesting that other parameters beside temperature should be used to determine Cold Shutdown Conditions. Of course they could always blame the sensor, this would be at least the third sensor gone bad. In the meantime, on Planet Earth.

Fukushima Reactor 2 RPV Temperature: 79.1 Degrees Celsius as of Noon, February 12, 2012

Well they invented the term ‘cold shutdown’ as it applies to unknown location of corium blobs thought to be heading toward the water table - I guess they feel entitled to then make up the parameters as they keep changing.
I really appreciate the update - I didn’t know the temp was climbing back up out of fictional fake cold shutdown.
It galls me that it isn’t just the Japanese who are keeping the lie alive. Notice how the US nuclear industry doesn’t seem to have a problem with this? Or the European nuclear industries? I suppose if the US nuclear industry said “Hey, there’s no such thing as cold shutdown for a corium blob!” then the Japanese could respond by airing the dirty laundry the US nuclear industry is hiding so...they support each other.
