NHK Transcript, June 9, 2014:
Officials at Tepco are facing another setback.
They don’t know whether [the water] even covers all of the nuclear fuel.
Officials don’t know about the condition of the melted fuel.
Officials believe the water level at another reactor is 10 times deeper.
Teruaki Kobayashi, Tepco official: “We cannot tell at this point if the fuel is entirely submerged or if part of it’s above the water.”
They believe it’s flowing through the chamber then out of the reactor building.
TEPCO: Water in reactor half expected level
Officials with the operator of the damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant say the water level inside the No.2 reactor's containment vessel is about half what they had estimated.
Workers with Tokyo Electric Power Company used robotic probes to measure the level and temperature of cooling water inside the vessel.
They found the water was around 30 centimeters deep. They had estimated it would be 60 centimeters, based on images captured by an endoscope 2 years ago.

Details of reactor damage still unknown
TEPCO officials are struggling to find the exact locations of breaches in the containment vessels for reactors 1, 2 and 3, and the condition of the melted fuel that they eventually plan to retrieve.
Officials believe that at reactor number 2, water is leaking from a donut-shaped suppression chamber at the bottom of the containment vessel, but do not know exactly from where.
