[New TEPCO Photographs Substantiate Significant Damage to Fukushima Unit 3](http://vimeo.com/30816614) from [Fairewinds Associates](http://vimeo.com/user6415562) on [Vimeo](http://vimeo.com).

Analysis of new Fukushima 3 photographs released last week by TEPCO substantiate Fairewinds’ claim that explosion of Unit 3 began over the spent fuel pool. Fairewinds believes that significant damage has also occurred to the containment system of Fukushima Unit 3, and that the two events (fuel pool explosion and containment breach) did not occur simultaneously. Video also includes brief discussion of tent system being constructed over Fukushima Unit 1.
