Unit 2 core has been damaged and molten fuel is out of the reactor vessel -The Guardian reports

"On Tuesday, a US engineer who helped install reactors at the plant said he believed the radioactive core in unit 2 may have melted through the bottom of its containment vessel and on to a concrete floor."


Radioactive iodine-131 at 3,355 times the legal limit had been identified in the sea about 300 yards south of the plant.

Medical researcher Robert Peter Gale suggested to dump all radioactive material in non-gas form into the ocean, he said: "To some extent that's why some nuclear power plants are built along the coast, to be in an area where the wind is blowing out to sea, and because the safest way to deposit radiation is in the ocean.

"The dilutional factor could not be better – there's no better place. If you deposit it on earth or in places where people live there is no dilutional effect. From a safety point of view the ocean is the safest place."
