Authorities warn of water level drop at damaged Fukushima nuclear plant after recent magnitude-7.3 earthquake

The Japanese authorities have sounded the alarm after the cooling-water level in two wrecked reactors at the Fukushima nuclear plant began falling following a powerful earthquake in the area last week.
The water level has fallen by as much as 70cm (27in) in the plant’s Unit 1 and 30cm (11in) in Unit 3. The suspected impact on the containment chambers in their reactors was caused by Saturday’s quake, in which some 180 people sustained mostly minor injuries, and there was disruption to power and water supplies, and damage to high-speed rail networks and numerous homes.

Tokyo Electric Power Co. (TEPCO) spokesman Keisuke Matsuo warned of possible additional damage at the plant that could further frustrate its decades-long decommissioning process.

This filthy, outdated and short-sighted technology is never safe, never economical and never acceptable.
 
Not from Empire Propaganda:

"The cause may be a change in the situation of the damaged part of the reactor containment vessel due to the earthquake, but we will continue to closely monitor the parameters," Tepco said in a statement.

It added: "No significant changes were observed in the reactor pressure vessel bottom temperature, the containment vessel gas management system radioactivity (including monitoring of rare gases), site boundary radiation monitoring, and on-site radiation monitoring. We have determined that there will be no impact."

The leaked water is believed to have remained inside the reactor buildings. "At present, no significant fluctuations have been confirmed in the water level of the reactor buildings, but detailed evaluation and monitoring of the parameters will be carried out," Tepco said.

Name calling is not an argument, it is evidence of lack of the existence of an argument. .

I didn't name-call you, incidentally. You advised me not to use RT as a source- I advised you not to be a brainwashed schmuck.

RT is not a good source, but that does not mean everything they print is wrong. Fukushima is a lingering disaster. 10 years and it still cannot be solved. They have been pissing radioactive water into the ocean for a decade.

RT frequently reports news that our authorities would rather we didn't know about. You might call it propaganda- but it's really no different from CNN, ABC, Reuters or the BBC. You need a good cross-section of reportage and then you average it out for the truth.
