Thousands evacuate as Fukishima nuclear emergency is declared

[Peter Lemkin]

Both reactor core containments of reactors 1 and 3 are believed to be breeched [open/cracked/leaking/melted - they are not saying exactly or don't know exactly]. Far from getting things under control, they [amazingly slowly, but surely] have been degrading day by day. I think at this point they soon have to contemplate entombment [as was done with Chernobyl]. This would involve getting just about every cement producer in Japan to formulate a special radiation-absorbing cement and keep the trucks a comin' and building up a huge sarcophagus of cement around a steel I-beam shell that would have to be pre-built and lowered by helicopter and/or crane over the top and sides....it is soon to be the only option to prevent the radiation from continually coming out. Most of the cores will likely go into meltdown and melt into the crust soon. It is a mess of enormous proportions and I don't think they are doing a very good job of honest disclosure.
