The hydrodynamic shock formed outside the homologously collapsing core of a Type II supernova progenitor seems to stall for certain mass ranges in many numerical calculations. A way to revive the stalled shock through late-time neutrino heating was proposed by Bethe and Wilson (1985). Here semianalytic models are used to calculate the extent of neutrino heating self-consistently with the changes in nuclear equilibrium behind the shockfront. Heating rate seems to be extremely rapid during a particular short phase of shock recession and whether the shock is revived sufficiently or not depends critically on the total neutrino luminosity and to a lesser extent on the neutrino-sphere radius.
