[QUOTE="Doomkid:1183836"][QUOTE="Yeti:1183794"][URL]http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/42084187/ns/world_news-asiapacific/[/URL] am i reading this right? is one reactor in meltdown?[/QUOTE] I've been finding that there is very little consistency in the analysis of the reactors' situations(everything from its-bad-but-we're-cool to radiological apocalypse). But as far as I can tell(from NYT, BBC, Al Jazeera and GlobalPost) no reactor actually has melted down yet. Radioactive material has been released into the atmosphere but it was blown offshore, which is why the US Navy helos ran into it and we pulled the carrier farther offshore. This BBC article seems to put most of the relevant information together well: [url]http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-12749444[/url] "Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano said they were closely watching the remaining two reactors at the plant, five and six, as they had begun overheating slightly. He said cooling seawater was being pumped into reactors one and three - which were returning to normal - and into reactor two, which remained unstable." Update quote from NYT, referring to the reactor that had the 2nd explosion this morning I believe: “The only ideas we have right now are using a helicopter to spray water from above, or inject water from below,” a power company official said at a news conference. “We believe action must be taken by tomorrow or the day after.” [/QUOTE]
