Tepco announced they found 8 more fuel assemblies under the dropped debris in Reactor 3 pool by underwater camera investigation. They reported the debris fell on 2 fuel assemblies in the beginning, but it was actually 10 fuel assemblies.

It is Tepco’s habitual practice to start from under-reporting.

Additionally, Tepco admitted one more piece of debris, which weighs 170kg, also dropped onto the fuel assemblies.

They were stating that they would confirm the state of fuel by 8/30/2014, but failed in visually inspecting the fuel assemblies due to the accumulated debris.

Actually Tepco is being clueless about the dropped debris to Reactor 3 pool.
