So it turns out that nadinbrzezinski was correct re Fukushima

154. I said the catchment.

You keep attempting to change what I said to introduce vulnerabilities. I was very specific. The containment is leaking. The catchment floor is intact. Not only has the corium not burned its way to the water table, throwing massive geysers of radioactive steam into the sky, but there are also no known forces that could have acted on that ~300 inch thick steel plated layer of concrete, that could have broken it.

The water is coming out the sides, specifically at the torus, and probably at a few of the places in the containment where pipes go in/come out to carry steam and coolant. Places damaged by the hydrogen-fueled explosion. The Torus is most certainly broken.

Catchment floor? No. Charred, undoubably. Pitted, eaten into by the corium, concensus is, about 30-40 inches into it. That's it.

Until there is evidence otherwise, there is no reason to think the core was hot enough to burrow through the catchment, but then just mysteriously stop before hitting the water table.

There are also elemental traces of various kinds that we could sample from the grounds around the foundation, to know if the core burrowed through. Again, no evidence that it has.
