Here is the comment about the photo
"The component in the photograph is a circulating water box in unit 3 which is defueled (not operating). This is part of the system that takes in ocean water which is circulated through condensers and then returned to the ocean. This water is not radioactive. We identified a small leak in the water box and will perform maintenance per our scheduling process. In the meantime, plastic is in place to direct the water from the small leak to a drain. While this system is not needed while unit 3 is defueled, we do periodically circulate ocean water through the system and that's why we use the temporary plastic to route the water to a floor drain."

“”If that’s nuclear technology at work and that’s how we’re going to control leaks I think the public should know,” the inside source said.

More than one anonymous source talked about the picture with Team 10. They said the public has a right to know about the plant’s condition, as the NRC decides whether the plant will be allowed to restart.”

So basically, not even newsworthy. “OMG, someone installed a temporary fix. PANIC!!!!!!!”

So there is nothing “nuclear” to leak.

Looks like the the atomophobes have their panties in a twist over nothing.

Again.
