Re: Fukushima I nuclear accidents
You can find the story on CNN News, it seems that at least one reactor had 100% melt of fuel, and that the cracks run to about 3-4" in the containment vessels. They think they can stabalize and cold shut down the reactors in early 2012. The thinking is if the fuel had melted thru the containment and hit ground water doing a big explosion spreading radiation they could have lost northern Japan, I guess that would mean northern Honshu and Hokkaido. And I guess it could still happen if things go wrong. It is odd that this story doesn't get more attention. Yes, you can find it, but it isn't put out there for public consumption like something irrelevant like Paris Hilton's latest escapades or the hacking of Rep. Weiner's twitter account.
