Temperature eventually rose to 91-94 C, then Tepco did a resistance test on the Thermocouple sensor, and then it went bat crazy. Starting reading 260-280 C. Looks like something is causing temperature sensors to fail within Reactor #2. They had a similar problem in January. A temperature sensor in the lower section of the RPV rose to about 140 C, then started reading negative temps.

So temperature sensors within reactor #2 are failing after reading high temps. Tepco is losing the ability to determine what is happening within the RPV of reactor #2.

At the same time they are telling us it’s not returning to criticality ~ or something like that ~ RETURNING? It’s been there? ~ without sensors they are blind.

A faulty instrument is the most likely cause. I knew it.

Truth of the matter is here.
