Fukushima at it again? Reactor 3 melting down

[Gordy]

I found several new sources posting new activity at the damaged Fuk Nuke Plant in Japan.
First is from Tepco:
??????????????????????????
Tepco quietly admits reactor 3 could be melting down
TEPCO Quietly Admits Reactor 3 Could Be Melting Down NOW - Susanne Posel | Susanne Posel

There are several others sources popping up about it.

Here's the important part translated.

[FONT=ヒラギノ角ゴ Pro W3]Building) centralized waste treatment facilities ※ 48 at around 7:00 am December 27, Unit 3 reactor building 5 Kaichuo part from the vicinity, and check the camera that the steam is generated. Have not been identified abnormal plant conditions of 54 minutes at 7:00 am the same day, the indicated value of the monitoring post (meteorological data of 50 minutes at 7:00 am, 5.1 ℃ temperature, 93.1% humidity). "(Discontinued April 19, 2012) Unit 4" (during storage in spent fuel pool) without fuel in-reactor fuel, moving in from the shared pool, the spent fuel pool , the spent fuel pool cooling system circulation During operation ※ than December 26, in the Unit 4 spent fuel pool of fuel movement in the fuel assembly you've deforming the handle / channel box by mistake (April 1982) handling of the past (1 to initiate an investigation of the body). Around 0:00 pm on December 27, to see what looked like a crack in the channel box side of the fuel assembly. As for the fuel assembly, it will return to its original position after completion of the study. The notification for the abolition on December 18, 25 years ※ Heisei "(periodic inspection than before the earthquake) Unit 5" -cold shutdown in -the spent fuel pool cooling cleanup system in operation "periodic inspection from (before the earthquake Unit 6 "report the abolition on December 18, 25 years ※ 2010)(fuel during storage) in the spent fuel pool, all in cold shutdown , the spent fuel pool cooling cleanup system in operation "shared pool" , the spent fuel pool cooling purification system in operation "and the water treatment plant condition of storage facilities" , cesium adsorption apparatus stopped , second cesium adsorption apparatus (Sally) while driving to look at the water balance intermittent Running or desalination device , multi-nuclide removal equipment (ALPS ) hot test 10:12 26-December, in intensive waste treatment facility, start the transfer of the accumulated water to Process Main Building from the site Bunker Building. 17:00 the same day, to stop the transfer. "Situation of peripheral drainage H4 and tank area" subject to leakage from the tank No.5 ※ H4 area I group, monitoring of tank of similar structure, and continued implementation of a detailed investigation. <Patrol the latest results> in patrol of December 26, has not been confirmed (β + γ-ray (70μm dose equivalent rate)) is a new high-dose equivalent rate place. As for where the rain water is collected in the Sekiyuka section, dose equivalent rate was low by the state continue shielding effect of the rainwater. With the exception of H4 east tank area H4 and tank area with confirmed decrease of Seki-nai water level on December 24, (except for the water in the reservoir dam that can not be compromised sure) that there is no leakage, such as the tank the total number by visual inspection, Check that there is no abnormality in (alarm monitoring) and constant monitoring by contaminated water tank water level indicator. ※ In response to leakage from No.5 tank H4 area I group, and continued implementation of the sampling of No.5 ~ 12 groundwater bypass pumping wells Fukushima first Southern discharge canal, Fukushima first premises drainage, H4 and area tank around .<Sampling results of the latest> big change has not been checked against the measurements taken last time. "Situation of 1-4 the turbine building of Unit east side" to collect groundwater established the observation hole in the ※ 1 ~ 4 turbine building of Unit east side, we have analyzed, June 19, at the observation hole of Units 1 and 2 between tritium and pumped up in the groundwater catchment pit and WellPoint as well as strengthening monitoring announced that it has been detected in the high value strontium, was placed in the turbine building of Unit 1 and 2 from the east side (south). From what has been detected in the high value all beta analysis result in Units 2 and 3 intake between WellPoint north taken in November 27, the pumping of groundwater from the well points were installed in Units 2 and 3 east in a planned manner Conducted. <Groundwater transfer performance of the latest> during transport to the Unit 2 turbine building the (South) groundwater catchment pit and WellPoint, which was installed in Units 1 and 2 east from September 7. From the fact that tritium has been detected in No.0-3-2 1,2 Unit between seawall area groundwater observation holes, are being conducted on a trial basis the pumping of groundwater from the observation hole than December 11. <Sampling results of the most recent> as follows: The result of the measurement of No.2-2 groundwater observation holes were collected for the first time on December 25. : [Collection worth December 25 measurement results of No.2-2 groundwater observation holes] , cesium 134:11 Bq / L -cesium 137:26 Bq / Lall-beta: 520 Bq / L - tritium: 560 Bq / L As for the No.1-11 groundwater observation holes were taken December 26, to detect high value measurements of all beta as compared to the previous value. Measurement results of No.1-11 groundwater observation holes] this time: minutes taken December 26 , cesium 134:0.72 Bq / L - cesium 137:1.4 Bq / L - 2,300 Bq / L: all beta last time: December 23 day collecting minute - cesium 134:0.45 Bq / L - cesium 137:0.93 Bq / L - all beta: detection limit below threshold (detection limit: 24 Bq / L) No. 1-11 groundwater observation holes, 1, 2 Since it is the inside of the ground improvement locations between Unit, some points are detected at high levels total beta for that area, it is believed that the influence therefrom. I check the status conduct sampling, the analysis again. The other significant change is not observed in comparison with measurements taken previously. "Situation of underground water storage tank" of contaminated water underground water storage tank has been completed to transfer all day ※ 7 May, but Anna Sui drain of No.1 ~ 7 (underground water storage tanks, underground water storage and sampling diffusion prevention measures continue ongoing leak detection hole water of No.1 ~ 4,6,7 tank, underground water storage tank observation hole, groundwater investigation bypass hole, No.1 ~ 4 groundwater bypass pumping well, the sea side observation hole). <Diffusion prevention measures> to temporary ground water tank leaked to leak detection hole of No.1 ~ 3 underground water storage tank, and the underground water storage water leaked into the drain hole No.1 underground water storage tank, the No.2 are being conducted appropriate action to transfer to the tank. <Sampling results of the latest> A1 for underground water storage tank observation holes were taken December 26 allows the system to detect the presence of high value measurements of all beta as compared to the previous value. Large variations have not been checked against the previous value is chlorine concentration. [Measurements of underground water storage tank observation hole A1] : This time taken minutes December 26th - 1.3 Bq / cm: all beta 3 - 9 ppm: chlorine concentration : Last minute taken December 25 , all beta: the detection limit is less than ( detection limit: 10 2.8 × -2 Bq / cm 3 ) - chlorine concentration: 7ppm big change in comparison to the previous value in both all beta and chlorine concentration 21 points on the A1 except for (A2 ~ A19, B1 ~ B3) is not confirmed. Therefore, because of the possibility of contamination of the contaminant sampling, the analysis process, to check the status performs sampling again the analysis. The other significant change is not observed in comparison with measurements taken previously.[/FONT]
