Water reinjected into overheating Japan reactor – Jiji

TOKYO, (Reuters) – The operator of a quake-stricken  Japanese nuclear power plant began reinjecting water into an  overheating reactor today in the hope of cooling it down,  news agency Jiji said.
Earlier, Tokyo Electric Power Co said that fuel  rods inside the core of the Fukushima Daiichi complex’s No.2  reactor were almost fully exposed.
The Jiji report said a meltdown of the fuel rods could not  be ruled out. A meltdown raises the risk of damage to the  reactor vessel and a possible radioactive leak, experts say.
