Core Nuclear Reactor Water Now Outside Buildings

TEPCO now admits that extremely radioactive water is in an area called the “trench” which is a normally dry tunnel between the reactors and the sea. This water came out of the inside of the reactor and has carried off material from the melted fuel core of reactor #2. This means that by the official definition, a meltdown in the plant is irradiating the outside world. Tests of water in the Pacific outside the plant show high levels of radiation as well and the implication is obvious. Seventeen workers have been irradiated.
