Tepco: Fukushima Daiichi Unit 1 large-scale meltdown occurred just 16 hours after earthquake and tsunami

Voice of America has reported that most of the nuclear fuel in the Fukushima Daiichi Unit 1 atomic reactor likely melted down on March 12, less than a day after the 9.0 tremor and 45 foot tall tsunami hit. This admission comes just days after Tepco announced that the Unit 1 reactor pressure vessel has actually been breached by the meltdown.
