Excerpts from translation by EX-SKF
JNN's investigation has revealed that there is hardly any water inside the Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV) and the Containment Vessel of the Reactor 1 [...]
The water level inside the RPV had shown that more than half the height of the fuel rods (4 meters) was under water. However, when the water gauge was repaired, the actual water level turned out to be so much lower that there was hardly any water in the RPV, according to the JNN's interview with a government source. [...]
There was hardly any water in the Containment Vessel, the source also revealed. [...]
[T]he Containment Vessel is likely to be broken and leaking water.
