It is now official.
NISA also sent a report to the government watchdog Nuclear Safety Commission, saying that some fuel pellets and rods in the reactors in Units 1, 2 and 3 had become overheated and melted, the first time it had provided details of the damage to the fuel. Nishiyama, said the agency can only say “more than 3 per cent†of the fuel rods have melted.
A pool of stagnant radioactive water was also discovered in the basement of Unit 4.
