Here's The story
Radioactive water likely to hamper cooling effort
The operator of the Fukushima nuclear power facility plans to cool the reactors by filling their vessels with water. However, that process may be hampered by wastewater contaminated with highly radioactive materials.
According Tokyo Electric Power Company's blueprint for bringing the troubled facility under control, the Number 1 and 3 reactor vessels will be filled with water up to the height of the nuclear fuel rods by the middle of July. This is aimed at cooling the reactors in a stable manner.
TEPCO says that the water level has begun rising in the Number 1 reactor. It says water injected to cool the reactor vaporizes out of the reactor and then turns into water after being cooled inside the container.
However, if the container has been damaged, then highly radioactive water may seep out. NHk
So any ideas how they can fix breaches in containment vessels with rad levels being unapproachable ?who knows this. I have heard nothing about solutions to deal with the leaking water out of the reactors let's face reality there cooling with no containment and let's all hope they figure out some solutions .
