F.D. unit #1 Muon imaging shows full meltdown


The blow link is Tepco's Press handout concerning the preliminary Muon imaging results for Fukushima Daiichi unit #1. It indicates a full core meltdown relocation. The #2 detection instrument shows something dense remaining in the (former) core barrel. Some of Japan's Press is jumping to the "melt-through" (i.e. loss of RPV integrity) conclusion, but I don't think Tepco is sure about it from what is in the handout.
