The number two reactor has less radiation in it then the other reactors says the building owner. Reactor No. 2 is said to be leaking radioactive water. The water is filling the basement of the turbine plant and utility tunnels. The robot they used to go into the plant found temperatures up to 106F and humidity from 94-99 percent. The conditions were so bad that they fogged up the lenses of the probe's cameras, causing operators to get the robot out after only a few minutes, company officials said.
