Thanks for the precisions. I thought I clearly remembered rumours of meltdown being publicly denied, and some sources are in line with that: https://www3.nhk.o

Thanks for the precisions. I thought I clearly remembered rumours of meltdown being publicly denied, and some sources are in line with that: https://www3.nhk.or.jp/news/genpatsu-fukushima/20171226/1756_meltdown.html https://www3.nhk.or.jp/news/genpatsu-fukushima/20171226/1756... Now there was a lot of reporting, and I wouldn't be surprised if some Tepco employees would be more frank and bring more information. I followed the official news only for the first week or two, and switched to different sources afterward so it might have been another tone as well after that. PS: about the oversee reporting, the most I was hearing of were France and US news, and they were so clearly biased, some to extreme alarmism, and some were completely damage controlling the impact on their internal nuclear policy. I am with you on the general impression that the info was of very low quality all over the board internationally, while Japanese research groups had very clear and explicit reports day by day, week by week on what is going on and where.
