Unit #1 @ 400C
Unit #1 @ 400CThe agency said the temperature had climbed to near 400 degrees Celsius within a pressure container at reactor No.1 at the Fukushima Daiichi plant, compared with a design limit of 302 degrees.

If we assume engineers allowed 20% over the limit, that would be 360C.
If we factor-in 40 years of metal fatigue and stress from hydrogen explosions,
what are the probabilities of a containment breach?
Any nuke techs want to weigh-in?
