17 March 2011: Three reactors at the stricken Fukushima nuclear power plant are now melting.
Staff at the nuclear facility where two containment buildings have been destroyed by hydrogen explosions were unable to check for certain, it was “highly likely” that the nuclear cores at reactors, 1 2 and 3 at Fukushima I nuclear station had begun to melt.It couldn’t rule out the possibility of a nuclear meltdown in the reactor and had admitted that a partial meltdown could already be underway.
The explosions at reactors 1 and 3 have not resulted in any leak, they believe the increased level of radioactive emissions detected outside the Onagawa plant 120 miles away may be a result of Saturday’s explosion at the number one containment building.Any meltdown can be contained by the various safety structures in place at each reactor, and that there is no significant chance of any release of radiation into the atmosphere.
