Permalink Fukushima reactor may have suffered partial meltdown

Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant may have experienced a partial meltdown last week, which would explain the highly radioactive puddles found at the site and radiation levels in the sea. Japan's chief cabinet secretary Yukio Edano said in a news conference today that the radioactive water found at the no. 2 reactor at the plant was due to a temporary partial meltdown of fuel rods, reports Kyodo News. The radioactive water was first noticed when two workers stepped into a contaminated puddle at the no. 2 reactor on Thursday. Since then, the plant's owner, the Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), has been working to remove the radioactive water and pinpoint its source.
