(Before It's News)

On 10/16/2015, Tepco announced they confirmed the handle parts of 2 fuel assemblies are deformed in SFP 3 (Spent Fuel Pool of Reactor 3).

Tepco reports they removed a major piece of debris from SFP 3 on 10/15/2015. In the next morning, they found 2 of 4 fuel assemblies have the handles deformed that were under the removed debris from the underwater camera survey.
