Water levels dropped precipitously at another reactor, completely exposing the fuel rods and raising the threat of a meltdown.

officials reported that the fuel rods at another reactor, Unit 2, were fully exposed, at least temporarily.

Shortly after Monday’s explosion, Tokyo Electric warned it had lost the ability to cool Unit 2. Hours later, an indicator showed water briefly fell to the bottom of fuel rods, fully exposing them, according to a spokeswoman for the company, Takako Kitajima.———————

Did you catch that? COMPLETELY EXPOSING THE FUEL RODS!

Here's a long but interesting explanation of what is going on at the exploding plant. See: Link to an article by a PhD at MIT.

Read the information at the above link and your fears will be somewhat allayed. There are many redundant safety backups designed into such a plant, and they seem to be working in this case. I'd suggest that you hold your comments until after you have read the article. You will understand the situation better.

“TEPCO continues to take all measures to restore the safety and security of the site and are monitoring the site’s immediate surroundings.”
