Tepco's 6-9 month plan handout reveals concern over hydrogen explosions

----------SNIP

In Reactors 1, 2 and 3, the fuel pellets are partially damaged but they are being cooled by water; continue injecting fresh water, and come up with other cooling systems.

Currently injecting fresh water into Reactor Pressure Vessels, but the risk is that the steam within the Containment Vessel will condense due to lower temperature , increasing the amount of hydrogen and the chance of a hydrogen explosion.

In Reactors 1, 2, and 3, there is a high possibility that the small amount of radioactive steam has been escaping from the Containment Vessels through cracks (or gaps, openings) that had been caused by the high temperature.

1. What are the odds of NOT having that explosion?

[flamingdem]

2. Lol, after reading that Tepco thinks so it looks pretty certain

I'm putting my bet on 1 and hoping it is not 3.

[FBaggins]

3. Some obviously have an incredible ability to believe contradictory things...

... As long as they're both emergencies.

Tell me FD... If the fuel is still melting and active fission is going on inside the core... why on earth would you be worried about it getting too cold in there???

[flamingdem]

4. Huh? This is a quote from Tepco's handout nt

[FBaggins]

5. Tepco isn't an example of what I was talking about.

:)

You're the one who just yesterday said that the cores were "melting". This would directly contradict that (as would scores of other things).

So which one do you think it reality? They can't both be.

[flamingdem]

7. Tepco admitted to melting of cores in all three reactors nt

[FBaggins]

8. Past tense... not present tense.

It makes a difference.

Active fission in one of those cores would also be contradicted by this story.

Are you ready to give up that BS as well?

[Statistical]

6. The point is you can't logically be concerned about

a) core melting because it is too hot.
b) hydrogen explosion from condensing steam because it is too cold.

at least not at the same time.

9. Unless flamingdem is just a cover identity...

...for the Queen of Hearts.

10. Read the report if you want to understand what Tepco is saying

It's in their 6-9 month plan

[FBaggins]

11. What they're saying is clear... it's what you've been saying that's contradictory.

You'll latch onto anything that looks like bad news even if it directly contradicts the other positions you've been taking.

Pretty funny actually.

[flamingdem]

14. Oh yes there is so much great news about the reactors! The OP cites what Tepco wrote

and not my position - which sounds like something made up in your head by the way

[FBaggins]

15. Spin and avoidance.

A lack of "great news" about the reactors does not demonstrate that some other position is accurate.

The OP cites what Tepco wrote and not my position

"Show me your happy face, it's all under control, eat your spinach and fuku fish." sure seems to imply that you think this is accurate bad news. It probably IS accurate, but disproves your prior positions and isn't all that great a concern.

[Wilms]

12. Yeah. "at least not at the same time."

But haven't the temps been fluctuating enough to make management of the reactors a tightrope walk?

[FBaggins]

13. No.

Not if the "tightrope walk" is between "further meltdown" and "dangerously cool".
