Research indicates that the meltdown of reactor number 2 could have been avoided if water was injected to cool the reactor 4 hours earlier. Water injection was started at 8 PM on March 14 after the cooling system failed at 1 PM that day. The meltdown could have been avoided if injection had started by 4 PM.

The measured core temperature is now below 100 degrees Celsius for all 3 damaged reactors. Reactor number 2 finally achieved this status today, while reactors 1 and 3 have been below 100 degrees since August.
Hydrogen is found at concentrations of 61 to 63 percent in pipes connected to the reactor 1 containment vessel. Plans are made to check for hydrogen in the pipes of all reactors and flush if necessary to prevent the possibility of another explosion.
