Thermometers malfunctioning at No.2 reactor

The operator of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant says more than half of the thermometers at the Number 2 reactor are not working.

Tokyo Electric Power Company said Friday that 23 of the 41 thermometers are malfunctioning.

TEPCO says high humidity inside the reactor may be to blame.

The utility says it will install new thermometers by late July.

It is now decontaminating the site and training workers for the installation.

A TEPCO official says thermometers are essential to understanding the reactor's condition and deciding whether to keep it in a state of cold shutdown.
