temperature is rising in the No. 3 reactor at the Fukushima No. 1 plant.

Meanwhile, the NISA said Thursday that the temperature is rising in the No. 3 reactor at the Fukushima No. 1 plant. The temperature, which stood at about 170 degrees on Tuesday, rose to about 200 degrees on Wednesday, and to about 250 degrees on Thursday, although the cause remains unknown.

It is also unclear if the readings are accurate because the thermometers may have been damaged by the earthquake, but it is considered certain that the temperature is rising. Efforts will be made to lower the temperature by adjusting the amount of water injected into the reactor.
