Fission products at Fukushima Daiichi site

Apparently a Saturday site survey has detected five different elements that are fission products-- in other words, they're not naturally occurring elements and are thus assured to be from the fission process-- and Monday has reported this survey to the authorities and the public. Iodine 131 was again one of the elements found.

TEPCO has made the statement that this indicates fuel damage in the reactors, which we already knew a long time ago; this is, perhaps, the first absolute confirmation atmospherically.
