9. No, TEPCO won't.

At least not more specifically than about 37 CM inside the steel wall of the primary containment floor, having completely melted through the steel RPV and fallen to the floor of the primary contaiment, burning through about 65cm of the concrete inside the primary containment.

That they won't comment publicly on it's precise location doesn't mean they don't know where it is. Then again, it is something that is difficult to measure with any specific level of accuracy, beyond whether it is inside the steel wall or not. It's not like they don't know what they are doing, it just really can't be done.

If it gets through the PC wall, we'll know.
