FYI, Reuters energy correspondent is answering questions on their blog:
Japan earthquake | Page 83 | Liveblog live blogging | Reuters.com @REUTERS, thanks for being willing to answer questions Scott DiSavino. My question is what everyone I know is asking: Is the largest threat an uncontrolled fire on the spent fuel rods? And what would the results be if such a situation happens? Hi, Thanks for your question - energy experts say the two biggest threats are the further melt down of Unit 2 at Daiichi and the spent fuel pool at Unit 4 if the reactor core at Unit 2 melts through the vessel, it would fall into the primary containment - which has a crack in it BUT most of the radiation should still be contained in the primary containment even with that crack as for the spent fuel pool - TEPCO needs to keep the water in the pool over the rods or they will set on fire and release radiation, including cesium, strontium and plutonium into the environment |

It's still intact after being hit by a tsunami and having a big heavy boat sit on top of it. |

Watched a few more videos today. Never knew houses floated so well. Crazy seeing the water just pick a home up and watch it wash away like a boat.

RIP brave nuclear workers.
: A small group of workers have been battling around the clock to stave off disaster at Fukushima Daiichi. The BBC's Aidan Lewis says: "The few dozen who are left have faced explosions and fires as they rush to pump sea water into overheated reactors. The workers are being rotated in and out, to try to limit their exposure to radiation. They are also assumed to be wearing sophisticated protective clothing." |

Why is it when oil platforms explode, kill people, and pollute half the ****ing golf of mexico nobody goes, "OIL IS BAD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT AND ISN'T SAFE"?

They have offsite power. The Plant in question is Fukushima-Daiichi which is farther north, has had all the explosions, have no power, etc.. |

aww no helicopters..
BBC is reporting: Tokyo Electric Power Co (Tepco) has just announced it is abandoning the plan to use helicopters to drop water as it would be too impractical, AP reports. It said other options were being considered, including using fire engines. Our correspondent said there had been concerns over the proposal, not least because of the possible health impact for the helicopter pilots. |
