TEPCO mistakenly keeps saying reactors suffer "core damage"

A Tokyo Electric Power Co. official announces on Feb. 24, 2016, in Tokyo that the utility mistakenly kept saying until May 2011 that reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi plant had suffered "core damage" rather than "meltdown," when it could have concluded much earlier, in accordance with its in-house manual, that meltdowns had occurred during the March 2011 disaster.
