The cesium level was lower than water retained outside of PCV, Suppression chamber, inside of the reactor building though core is supposed to be inside of PCV.

2012年10月12日、東京電力は1号機原子炉格納容器内の滞留水の放射線線量を測定しました。
炉心は格納容器内にあるはずなのに、格納容器内の滞留水のセシウム濃度は、格納容器外やサプレッションチェンバー、原子炉建屋内の滞留水のセシウム濃度より低いという結果になりました。

Regulators, politicians and business leaders from the nuclear industry should not all be in bed together.
