9/28/11 (AEIN) The Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) has reported that all of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant's reactors have decreased to temperatures below one-hundred degrees Celsius (212 Fahrenheit), Radio Japan reported on Wednesday.
However, TEPCO also stated that a "cold shut down" had yet to be achieved. At least one of the Fukushima Daiichi reactor temperatures remains near 100 degrees, which is the level at which water boils. The reactors were damaged in a major earthquake and tsunami in March.
Meanwhile, Radio Japan also reported that the Japanese government plans to follow the recommendations of a report on earthquake and tsunami preparation. They include such measures as placing emergency facilities in low-risk areas and better informing the public.
