Thousands evacuate as Fukishima nuclear emergency is declared

[Peter Lemkin]

More and slightly greater detailed information was just released....one reactor has had at least 75 of its nuclear core melted; two reactors are breached [containment broken open to environment]; Reactors 5 and 6 are up to 85C and by tomorrow should be about to explode [as have all the others due to hydrogen explosions due to heat and catalysis of the zirconium oxide casing on the fuel rods with water. The skeleton crew was brought back and no water is being put on the fires [one reactor is burning] and no water is currently being pumped into the reactors to cool them...so they will all get hotter and more dangerous. They are pinning their hopes now on a high-voltage line they are building to the plant in the hopes of starting up the pumps again......sounds like wishful thinking to me......I give it little chance of success, even if completed in time. So, each and ever reactor has degraded since yesterday......and it won't be many days more before it will be time to evacuate all and kiss thousands a fond farewell, with hundreds of thousands having increased cancers and other diseases, malformed children, etc. Very sad. Not one bit of good news on the topic can be found.....sorry.
