We have analysis on what the news could mean. The discovery is potentially a big deal if it turns out that ourselves have photographed molten fuel, it would mean its an important step in the decommissioning process. They have spent years looking for this fuel and if they have found it, they can start to come up with a plan for the plant. Heres what we already knew. Theres probably a lot of molten fuel at ththe bottom of the reactor. Becau we didnt know how much fuel, if any was further down in the reactors containment vessel.
