The ice cracks, water and mud flows in, freezes, and the wall reseals. That's the beauty of it. There is unlimited supply of water and mud right next to the wall. The big problem would be a failure of the cooling coils. This was shown in the video. As I said, the ground would dry, the water table would fall, and the contaminated water from reactor buildings would escape. As long as the water table is high it is largely held in. Of course this will not stop every liter of contaminated water from leaking out. - Jed
