Gundersen: Powdered nuclear fuel laying outside containment at Reactor No. 2 (VIDEO)July 30th, 2012 By ENENews  Title: Arnold Gundersen with the latest on Fukushima: its effects on Japan, and the global risks posed by the No. 4 reactor Source: If You Love This Planet Radio Author: Dr. Helen CaldicottDate: July 27, 2012

This week, Dr. Caldicott has a new conversation with nuclear engineer Arnold Gundersen about the ongoing nuclear disaster at the Fukushima plant and its effects on Japan and the rest of the world.

Arnold Gundersen, Nuclear Engineer: At Reactor 2… the conclusion is that fine pieces of nuclear fuel have escaped the containment and are lying as a powder on the bottom of the torus room.

Gundersen: The particles escaped the torus… that’s what’s fascinating… these are outside containment… it’s quite clear that the junction between the torus and the dry part of the containment failed.  http://enenews.com/gundersen-powdered-nuclear-fuel-lying-containment-vessel-reactor-2-video
