SFP4 over 55℃. Coolant system is still stopped. 10 hours started awhile ago, by the way.. Fukushima Diary. Excerpts: (The little squares are a missing font that indicate Celsius..)
Though Tepco stopped the water leakage, coolant system is still not back on. At the moment, they can’t estimate when they can recover it. Also, they estimated the temperature increases at 0.5℃/h, it’s increasing at over 1℃/h. It went up by 22℃ within 18 hours. Currently the temperature of SFP is 55℃.(10:00 JST) The safety limit is 65℃. At this pace, it will reach 65℃ about in 10 hours.
Please remember that nuclear energy containment temperatures must be tightly controlled to remain safe. A 22 degree Celsius rise IS NOT STABLE and IS VERY DANGEROUS. This has been a recurring problem at Fukushima. Unless TEPCO gets its shit together pronto, there will be fireworks; and soon. Radioactive, Extinction Level fireworks.
Prayers to your appropriate deity might be wise right now.. Atheists, just cross your fingers, as nothing else regarding TEPCO seems to help. Also: Helpful aliens? Right now might be a good time to jump into Earth's affairs--You have my permission!
UPDATE:
Probably coolant system of SFP recovered So things have "probably" stabilized.. For now..
