MELTDOWN IN THREE NUCLEAR REACTORS AT POWER PLANT

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.

TEPCO NOW ADMITS RADIATION MAY SURPASS CHERNOBYL LEVELS

They are far too late in saying this. TEPCO could not deny the huge explosions that occurred at reactors 1 and 3, but pretended that the explosion on March 15th at reactor 2 was less important. It was part of a massive meltdown of the reactor.

The plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Co. offered an apology to the public for being still unable to stop the radiation leakage, pointing to the possibility that the total emission of radioactive substances could eventually surpass that of the Chernobyl incident.

Nuclear Disaster Level Raised To Chernobyl Status

The radiation levels were off the scale compared to what they actually told us. Kyodo News service reports in a headline that most of the radiation came from the explosion of Reactor #2 building on March 15th. Reactor 2 is the one where the outer building is still intact, but whose core is known to have melted down on the inside.
This was the press announcement at the time.
