According to the IAEA, Reactors 1-3 have been in cold shutdown since yesterday, which means they finally are where they were supposed to end up, in a stable situation where no water is boiling off anymore, so all the risk is gone.
- Confusion 16y agoAi, I read it wrong. That was reactors 1-3 of the Daini station, not the Daiichi station.
- marshray 16y agoIt seems that the IAEA is not a useful source of up-to-date information here. Apparently they're bound by agreements not to say anything without TEPCO's approval. The little they've said has been hours or days late. Unit 2 and 3 are believed to have lost containment integrity. Unit 3 is currently billowing smoke/steam.
- paganel 16y ago> It seems that the IAEA is not a useful source of up-to-date information here. From the agency's statute page (http://www.iaea.org/About/statute_text.html#A1.2 http://www.iaea.org/About/statute_text.html#A1.2): > The Agency shall seek to accelerate and enlarge the contribution of atomic energy to peace, health and prosperity throughout the world. Now why would an Agency which is interested in "accelerating" the use of atomic energy for "prosperity" around the world say anything too negative about all this mess?
