RADIOACTIVE WATER DUE TO PARTIAL MELTDOWN?

According to Kyodo News.


The government believes highly radioactive water detected at the No. 2 reactor of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant is due to a partial meltdown of fuel rods there, its top spokesman said Monday.

Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano told a news conference that the government believes that the meltdown was only temporary.
When reactor fuel melts down it does NOT return to original shape when it cools. Even a temporary meltdown is quiet serious and the fact we are three weeks into this and this is happening means we have a long way to go.
