Although the specific damage to each reactor vessel/torus was markedly different, all three are the same design and suffered similar meltdowns, so information from one will surely add to the overall picture of what happened in the darkness beneath.

most of the corium is outside the vessels. a lot is in the groundwater. some has been found 60km away in Ibaraki.

Goodlucktoyou,

You forgot to read your link:

The sands took up and retained radioactive cesium originating from the disaster in 2011 and have been slowly releasing it back to the ocean.

So, not corium - released caesium.

"No one is either exposed to, or drinks, these waters, and thus public health is not of primary concern here," the scientists said in a study published October 2 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences

And little or no danger.
