#Fukushima I Nuke Plant: Reactor 2's RPV Temperature Is High

Something strange seems to be going on inside the Reactor Pressure Vessel of the Reactor 2 at Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant.

Temperatures of the Reactor Pressure Vessels are measured at two locations: at the water nozzles (that TEPCO calls "A"), and at the bottom of the Vessels (that TEPCO calls "B"). The Reactor 2's "B" temperature was not recorded since March 31, but it suddenly came back on April 12, and the temperature is high, almost as high as the "A" temperature of the Reactor 1 RPV.

Now, the Reactor 2's RPV temperatures are:
A: 165.8 degrees Celsius
B: 208.1 degrees Celsius (it was 87.8 degrees Celsius on March 31)

In comparison, the Reactor 1's RPV temperatures are:
A: 216.2 degrees Celsius
B: 119 degrees Celsius
