NHK: Tepco May Delay Nitrogen Injections Aimed at Preventing Hydrogen Explosion in Unit 3

"Nitrogen injection could be delayed at Fukushima"

"The operator of the troubled Fukushima Daiichi power plant is having trouble injecting nitrogen gas into one of the reactors to prevent a hydrogen explosion.
Tokyo Electric Power Company on Wednesday examined the No.3 reactor to see if it can connect injection pipes to the containment vessel.

A camera-mounted robot was used for the operation because high radioactive levels are preventing workers from remaining in the reactor building for long periods....

There is a growing likelihood that the planned nitrogen injection will be delayed"

MAJIA HERE: Does the delay mean there is a growing likelihood of a hydrogen explosion at unit #3?
