...radioactive water cover the floor to a depth of 7 ft. Right after the accident, the radiation level there was a searing 30,000 rems per hour. It has since dropped to a merely dangerous 200 rems just above the surface of the water. Covered from head to toe in radiation-resistant protective clothing, three engineers entered an air lock, though not the containment building itself, and during the course of a 20-min. stay took radiation readings that will help determine how soon technicians can get in and see the damaged reactor. "It's a long, slow process...
