    Unit 2 nuclear power plant in the city of Matsue, Shimane Chugoku Electric to enter the regular inspection, power to stop the early morning of July 27 before 7:00 pm 100 degrees below the temperature of the reactor stable "cold shutdown" and directly below. Having trouble in some of the instruments to measure the amount of neutrons in the reactor during this process, eventually becoming stuck in the instrument of all four channels successfully, it no longer accurately grasp the state of the reactor is. According to the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency, Unit 2 is stopped cold, trouble is it's not safety, is that such work can not be taken out of fuel and control rods and check the status of the reactor can not grasp. Therefore, the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency, as well as speed up the recovery process to seek Chugoku, and to determine the cause of the instrument stopped working.

  • The WP reports under the headline "After earthquake, Japan can’t agree on the future of nuclear power" www.washingtonpost.com
    I quote from the article: "The stalemate comes with heavy consequences, especially as reactors are idled, leading to record financial losses for major power companies and economy-stunting electricity shortages in manufacturing hubs such as Tokyo and Osaka." Is that so?
    by Peter 1/27/2012 11:01:48 PM

  • @Peter they have agreements with the industry to produce in "power saving mode", if they mean that.
    by Edano 1/27/2012 11:03:39 PM

  • The govt said today they won't institute 15% power saving demands on industry this summer.

This what we've been seeing might be a build up.
