Chris Harris, former licensed Senior Reactor Operator and engineer: Their own word is that Tepco believes that the core is definitely eating through the floor, it’s already gone through the bottom of at least No 1’s reactor vessel, and he said eating its way through the concrete. I probably believe that it’s already eaten through the concrete. I think that’s past tense.

I said no, no, no, no, no this is the worst possible scenario, we’re talking about a core going through [inaudible] We’re finally getting some modicum of truth here, this is a recent as September 10, that’s from Tepco’s engineer’s own words. [Platts: “Tepco believes the uranium fuel […] poured to the floor of the containment structure, eating through a portion of the concrete floor of that area”].
