Reactor #4 is now on fire badly, and out of control. White smoke and steam is coming off the top - highly radioactive!!!! They are about to try one last emergency procedure - droping boric acid and water on it from the air. I personally think that will only delay the inevitable now...it looks like the worst is about to happen!!! Sorry to report this. It now looks very, very bad....the remaining two reactors are approaching critical temperatures [5 and 6] and it looks like in a few days (maybe less, we will have all six reactors melting-down - some more than others). The 860 person crew who had been lowered [stupidly!, I think] to 80, has been reduced further to a 'skeleton crew' due to the radiation - and are most of the time in a radiation-proof bunker - but from there they can do little! It is now near total disaster!!! At this point, it is fairly clear that the radionucleides are in control, not the Plant Controllers.
It is not yet at a total disaster....but so close......so very close.....with nothing I can see they can do. Those workers still on site are now receiving enormous doses of radiation....they won't live long. The only thing one can hope for [sic] is that the meltdowns occur as 'china syndrome' melts into the earth - the least horrible scenario. If they cause fires, or explosions, then much more of the radiation gets into the air - which is one blanket over the entire planet.....as with Chernobyl, the distributed doses will will depend on two factors - the total amount released into the air and the weather patterns [wind direction and rainfall].
Two nuclear reactors in CA are on active earthquake faults! 23 reactors in the USA are of the EXACT same design as those in Japan.
