@edano that really suprises me and I think we are seeing the start of a camppaign to lower the standing of other suppliers (chubu got the same implied smirch earlier) they must be hoping if they tar everybody with the tepco brush then they may recover better.
I have read so many reports including chubu-hamaoka and tohoku - onagawa re the seismic improvements required of them following 2006 . It is tepco who seem to have delayed even doing all the studies required of them.
Have you seen Nancy's work on this?

I'm trending towards failed instruments because there is fairly high heat plus water. Coupled with the large initial explosion it is more likely a sensor issue than that water outflow is creating significant vacuum.
