10. How does "rubble" hold a pressure?
Its certainly not a closed loop any more

Duh.

It all leaks and its collecting in the basement.

The pools leaking doesn't appear to be nearly the problem that at least one of the cores is.

They can't pump it out fast enough and all the storage tanks will be full again soon!

They most certainly can pump it out fast enough (they had the ability to pump it in didn't they?). Their problem is merely that they have nowhere to put it. That's not an insurmountable problem.

And the amount of water that they need to keep the cores cool continues to drop.
