Well, the truth has to fulfill scientific rules, therefore we have been knowning whether they were telling the truth or not.
And yes, secretary Edano and NHK TV were telling the truth well beyond what the Western media has been doing.
Fuel tanks for the generators were moved by the tsunami 300 meters inshore. The buildings were flooded and the switching devices damaged. The Japanese did a great job controlling and cooling the reactors. Hot spots on the upper part of the fuel rods in the reactors #2 and #3 may have been melted, but as it happened in the TMI accident, there was enough water to cold down these pieces and leave them solidified on the bottom of the reactor.
Let’s hope it only gets better from here.
