(28,778 posts)You've made the claim a dozen times and been challenged on it each time... never once providing any evidence... yet it's my responsibility to do the search for you?
They sent in top-of-the-line robots to see what's in there, but they froze it is so cold.
They sent robots in there and have had thermal sensors in there for years. It wasn't hot... in fact, it was below room temperature.
Must be that ice wall they built?
Ah!... that's right. You're one of the ones that read the enenews fantasies that the ice wall had failed. That they already tried, but can't build it because the ground is so hot that it just won't freeze. Heck... it just has to be insanely hot down there if it's warming up the entire Pacific ocean!
As with most of the realities that exist only in your own mind... that was never correct. They didn't start the freeze process until just a week or two ago... and so far everything has worked fine.

TEPCOs contractors have begun the process of freezing the completed sections of the frozen wall. Blocks 1-8 are currently in the freezing process. Other sections are either still under construction or in the process of having the plumbing installed. The sections currently being frozen include the land side and north sides of the reactor building areas.
You should post the thread where you first claimed that it was a meltdown. We'll wait.
There isn't much left of the scores of threads from the initial days of the incident on google... but here's one from a couple weeks later.
