Hello to all. I'am very sorry if this question has already been asked, but it is quite difficult to read all the posts to check.
Is it possible that the corium, we know TEPCO said has been in the bottom of the reactor vessel, has leaked out in a porous soil, and, with contact with the water...
Could anyone here explain what is occurring regarding the schoolchildren ? I read that some political men has quitted because of the limits raised by the ministry of eductation, that some new maps has been released with level of radioactivity of certain elements but nut all ? Could it be also...
Sorry for interrupting, but I have just one question. If the water leaks outside the structure, why they just stop putting tons of water inside ? Would the situation become really worst if they stop ? Thanks in advance for reply.
According to french IRSN yesterday' release, the people in charge have put sand bags and concrete to prevent the water to flow from the Trench to the ocean :

the question is, how long do you thing, this fresh water will last given the need of water to cool down the reactors and the pools ?

Sorry to step back regarding the neutrons. I heard that the water has the effect to slow down the speed of the neutrons.
If this is correct, in the Spent Fuell pool, the neutrons with high speed will go through the fuell without making contact with the fuell and thus reduce the nuclear...
Following french ASN, the cooling of reactor n° 3 with pure water failed.

If what you are saying since this morning is right, they have lost 10 days in triyng to cool down the reactor number 3 in stead of (if this was possible) going in the basement of the reactor to evacuate the water and/or to arrange a tunnel in the soil as they have done it in Tchernobyl.

Sorry, but they are discussing the temperature of the pool and not of the reactor no ?
the drop of the temperature of the spent fuell pool,[SIZE="1"] i guess, could not lead to the conclusion that the core is gone undergroud, isn't it ?
