Gundersen analyzes new pressure and temperature data from the Fukushima reactors and containments.  

TEPCO recently denied that the fuel pool in Unit 4 was experiencing a partial inadvertent criticality, despite the finding of radioactive iodine-131 (an isotope with an eight-day half-life).  The utility blamed the iodine on deposition resulting from the explosion of the other buildings.  Gundersen takes an in-depth look at TEPCO’s Theory.
