Get ready.

Soon as some freepers read that, expect name calling, poo pooing and comments of stop panicking.....

They do it any time a fact is presented.

We are told we are 1 number under Chernobly, yet 4 are in peril and 3 leaking radiation, that didn’t happen at Chernobyl, yet if anyone comments on it, they call you names and say you are panicking...

When you have a left-wing media that has an agenda of shutting down the nuclear power industry in the US and the rest of the industrialized world (Iran and Venezuela, no problem ... they can build all the nukes they want), that reaction is entirely appropriate.

And then someone comes on and tries to preempt discussion by predicting it.

Your moral superiority is amusing.

You really need to consider decaf.

Reactor 1's primary containment is believed to be intact and the reactor is in a stable condition. Seawater injection into the reactor is continuing.

Reactor 2 is in stable condition with seawater injection continuing. The reactor's primary containment may not have been breached, Tokyo Electric Power Co. and World Association of Nuclear Operators officials said on Thursday.

Reactor 3 is in stable condition with seawater injection continuing. The primary containment is believed to be intact. Pressure in the containment has fluctuated due to venting of the reactor containment structure.

Reactor 4 did not have fuel rods in it during the earthquake and tsunami.

Reactors 5 and 6 were both shut down before the quake occurred.

The real concern left now is the spent fuel cooling pool on unit number 4. The concrete wall of the reactor 4 fuel pool structure has collapsed, the steel liner of the pool remains intact, based on aerial photos of the reactor taken on March 17. The pool still has water providing some cooling for the fuel; however, helicopters dropped water on the reactor four times during the morning (Japan time) on March 17. Water also was sprayed at reactor 4 using high-pressure water cannons.

If you want to compare it to Chernobyl, you ought to learn a bit more about Chernobyl since it was a Graphite moderated reactor that caught fire and release quite a bit of radiation.

Let's see what Kevin Bacon has to say about it.
