Posted in: Fukushima's No. 1 reactor building radiation level rises See in context
The hot water in the basement must have come into direct contact with nuclear fuel or corium, no doubt about that. The interesting question is where this contact occurred: inside the leaking reactor pressure vessel, into which the water was initially injected, or in the containment vessel. In the latter case, this would imply that a fair amount of corium already left the reactor pressure vessel (the rpv could even be empty, that would explain why it is so relatively cold). Then there is only one barrier left between the molten core and the environment. Very scary thought!
