Go to Aiken, South Carolina and run some tests on the groundwater supply. That'll be a good start.

OK, but this professor was involved in the building of the plant, but has not been involved in any of the activity post-earthquake/tsunami. So it is just speculation, no? Or has there been an official report from the site that this is what happened and I missed it?

As for official report - no one's actually inside these buildings. It will be months or years before they can get any kind of direct information to work with. |

The alternative is that everything is working exactly as designed - and it's still not enough.

I think the altnerative is what Dartgod said, and what I said earlier -- that it may be that the only reason the plant is having all these troubles is because the cooling systems were knocked offline by (1) main reactor power -- due to SCRAM, (2) disel generators -- by tsunami, (3) batteries -- unknown, but either tsunami or running out of power.

Who was right about how bad this was going to get?
I said so and got banned and punished for it by idiot mods. |
