The latest I read was that the salt water used to cool the reactor is now starting to really build up. It's like the mineral deposits in a humidifier. As the sea water boils away, the salt is left behind. The number I saw was 57,000 pounds of salt are now coating the insides of the reactor. That salt insulates the rods and makes it harder to cool them down.
Interesting. |
