Yes the wonderful advances of the internet, when we are wrong someone will point it out.

Yes you may be correct no doubt.

But at what point do we know the absolute truth when we have the MSM and all of our resources being monitored, censored and manipulated for control or political purposes?

just in the last hour FOX is still trying to say the whole plant will explode, still trying to possible keep its story moving for viewership.

Well when it comes to the absolute truth about using cryogenic hydrogen in a pressurized water reactor you could get that out of a physics book. Or talk to anyone who has ever operated one. A lot of guys have been through navy nuke school and any one of them can bring you up to speed on how a pressurized water reactor works. And cryogenic hydrogen doesn't come into the picture.

As for the chemical reaction that brigs about the disassociation of hydrogen an oxygen that is high school chemistry. And unlike the laws the politicians write in DC the laws of physics, engineering and chemistry don't give a darn about spin. Probably why I have always preferred the company of engineers to politicians. Trust physics, trust chemistry, and when given the choice trust people with engineering degrees over those with journalism degrees.

There is a ton of material out there about the functioning of pressurized water reactors. This is 1960s technology and not classified. Solid engineering documents that predate Obama and are free of political spin or media hype. As Glen Beck is so fond of saying, don't trust me, look it up.

There might be 1,000 people worldwide who know what's really going on with these reactors.

We won't know for sure until the post-mortem.

The last thing governments want to do is to announce false information on "everything OK", or conversely to unnecessarily cause real panic.

They're between a rock and a hard place...forced into secrecy on all matters except for those that can be independently ascertained.

Here's the spookiest (and unlikeliest) scenario:

One of the reactors was without cooling water long enough where the residual decay and heat from the reactions (even after insertion of the control rods) melted the fuel rods and the fuel pooled at the bottom of the containment vessel. Eventually said fuel melts through the steel containment vessel...and the entire sites has to be abandoned.

Then you would have 3 more reactors nearly certain to melt, eventually.
