TEPCO to inject Fukushima reactor with boron | Enformable: On February 6th, TEPCO announced that to combat the rising temperature levels in Reactor 2, they would inject boric acid water to suppress any possible fission reactions that might take place. According to TEPCO says the rise in temperatures indicate that the flow of water in the reactor may have changed direction after plumbing work, and is no longer able to properly cool down the melted down nuclear fuel.

東京電力は6日、福島第1原発2号機の原子炉圧力容器下部の温度について、70度前後の状態が続いていると発表した。近くの別の温度計は約45度で安定し、大きな上昇はない。炉内のガスを分析したところ、溶融燃料が再び連鎖的に核分裂する「再臨界」となることを示す放射性キセノン135が検出されず、東電は「再臨界は起きていない」としている。

 東電は7日未明、念のため核分裂反応を抑えるホウ酸水注入を始めた。引き続き注水量を毎時3トン増加させる。事故後の保安規定では注水量を1日あたり毎時1トン超増やすと「運転上の制限の逸脱」になるため、事前に経済産業省原子力安全・保安院に通報した。
