Fukushima Report Delayed as TEPCO Gets New Chance to Explain

[FBaggins]

16. He correctly informed you that it isn't hot

It isn't a "claim"... it's an established fact. They've been measuring the temperature inside each containment all along... there isn't something at thousands of degrees in there. Note that they just released video of the pool of water at the bottom of one containment. It isn't physically possible for tons of corium to be under that water at thousands of degrees without impacting the temperature where those robots were.

Note that the original conversation began because you thought that water was boiling (creating the wisps of "steam" seen on colder days). This is clearly not the case.

See the prior response to Octafish. The amount of heat that the cores are producing can be very precisely estimated. The isotopic mix is known and the half-lives (and thus heat created) are physical constants.

There are only two possibilities. Either the heat is created by nuclear decay (which is known to decline over four years to the point that fuel rods could be air-cooled)... or fission has resumed. But there is no way for fission to resume without creating fission products that TEPCO could not possibly hide from detection.

They haven't been detected because they aren't being created... because there isn't any active fission. Therefore, there's only one possibility. It isn't hot.

It took him 3 years to say even say 'meltdown'

Now you're just lying (at least to yourself). I was calling it a meltdown about 24-48 hours after the tsunami struck and have never denied it. You've been challenged to find a singe instance where I denied a meltdown.
