I was also reading that they are running out of boric acid. South Korean is sending a ship with more.



This is a really good question. I don't know the answer. If the boron is getting boiled out with seawater it definitely needs to be replaced. If it's just getting plated out as sediment replacing it might not be so important. But it's still a really good idea to keep injecting it.
