IAEA: #Fukushima I Nuke Plant Might Have Re-Criticality

from Zero Hedge:

Remember Fukushima?

  • IAEA SAYS `THERE MIGHT BE RE-CRITICALITY' AT FUKUSHIMA
  • IAEA COMMENTS AT PRESS CONFERENCE IN VIENNA
  • IAEA DIRECTOR GENERAL YUKIYA AMANO SPEAKS AT BRIEFING IN VIENNA
  • IAEA HAS NO INFORMATION FROM TEPCO ON NEUTRON DETECTORS

If indeed the reactor has gone critical again, the whole concrete dome idea may have to be promptly scrapped.

From CNN:

Update 2: The IAEA has said that the Fukushima nuclear power plant may have achieved re-criticality. “There is no final assessment,” IAEA nuclear safety director Denis Flory said at a press conference on Wednesday, according to Bloomberg News. “This may happen locally and possibly increase the releases.”

Don't see anything at Bloomberg site yet.
