(Updated) #Fukushima I Nuke Plant: Reactor 1's RPV Has Hardly Any Water
(UPDATE: MBS News has been updated (12:04PM JST) and it includes this bit of new information from TEPCO's press conference that just ended:
こうした中、放射性物質がこれ以上大気中に飛散するのを防ぐため、１３日から１号機の原子炉建屋に化学繊維でできたカバーを掛ける作業が始まることが明らかになりました。
To prevent radioactive materials from further escaping into the atmosphere, TEPCO will start work on May 13 to cover up the Reactor 1 reactor building with cloth made of synthetic cloth.
As to the water level, it is "more than 5 meters below the top of the fuel rods" and "unmeasurable". (So, "more than 5 meters below the top of the fuel rods" is just an estimate.)
