http://english.kyodonews.jp/news/2011/03/77025.html http://english.kyodonews.jp/news/2011/03/77025.html The core at Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant's No. 1 reactor may be partially melting, the nuclear safety agency said Saturday. Radioactive substance cesium was detected around the reactor, it said. edit: http://www.tepco.co.jp/en/index-e.html http://www.tepco.co.jp/en/index-e.html this seems to be the best primary source. while personally i'm opposed to nuclear power, i'm really commend tokyo electric on their relative transparency. compared to what we get from ansto in australia im floored by the clarity and timeliness of the info we are getting. (i imagine it would take years of foi's and senate inquiries to extract this kind of data from ansto). but im just an anonymous armchair observer, take my word for what its worth.
