Containment of Fukushima Nuclear Reactor 1 has ruptured

Nuclear Engineer: New footage shows Reactor 1 has “ruptured” containment structure, most likely from the explosion — Water to cool “what’s left of the core” is pouring out (VIDEO) http://enenews.com/nuclear-engineer-new-footage-shows-reactor-1-has-ruptured-containment-structure-most-likely-from-the-explosion-water-to-cool-whats-left-of-the-core-is-pouring-out-video

The Japan Times,, Nov. 14, 2013: One leak came from a rupture in a sand-cushioned drain pipe installed at the bottom of the containment vessel. The pipe is not directly connected to the containment vessel and is used to drain condensation that forms on the vessel’s surface.

Chris Harris, former licensed Senior Reactor Operator and engineer, Nutrimedical Report, Nov. 14, 2013 (at 29:00 in): They did indeed find water pouring out of several locations in Reactor 1′s containment structure and basically this shows that it was ruptured, most likely during the explosion that happened […] As we discussed before, all the water that gets pumped in to cool what’s left of the core […] it goes in and it’s falling back out again and goes right into the secondary side, which is basicallly the reactor building […] Because the water level’s not going up into that part of the building, it’s flowing out into the environment. That’s not really good news.
