"Japan crews stabilize damaged reactors" July 20, 2011|By Associated Press
TOKYO - The crippled reactors at Japan’s tsunami-hit nuclear power plant have reached stability more than four months since the disaster, and the plant is on track for a cold shutdown within six months, the government and plant operator said yesterday.
Workers have toiled in hot and harsh conditions to stabilize the Fukushima Daiichi plant since the March 11 earthquake and tsunami destroyed reactor cooling systems, triggering partial meltdowns of the reactors and making the disaster the world’s worst nuclear crisis since Chernobyl.
Well, they were full meltdowns and if the puke corporate pre$$ is going to lie about this, what wouldn't they lie about?
The assessment of reactor stability was based on several milestones: Temperatures at the bottom of reactor pressure vessels are no longer climbing, a makeshift system to process contaminated water works properly after initial problems, and nitrogen injections are helping prevent more explosions.
Radiation around the plant has shown a “sufficient decrease’’ from peak levels measured soon after the disaster....
Says who? Government and the power company?
