Fukushima report: Key points in nuclear disaster report - An outline of key quotes, findings and recommendations from the 88-page executive summary of the Nuclear Accident Independent Investigation Commission's report, as provided by the BBC, 5 July 2012; Webcam Fukushima nuclear power plant I, Unit 1 through Unit 4
Tepco-workers were able to enter the building of reactor 2 a month later where they installed and replaced a provisional gauge for measuring the water level inside the reactor. The results were disappointing, as 2 days later Tepco reported that it was still not possible to obtain accurate data on the water level and pressure from Unit 2.
Japan's Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency gives new estimates of the times at which the reactor pressure vessels were damaged and possibly dropped fuel into the containment vessels: 5 hours after the initial earthquake for reactor 1 (20:00 March 11); 80 hours for reactor 2 (22:50 March 14); and 79 hours for reactor 3 (22:10 March 14).
