They just don't seem to be able to get a break or a handle on this.

The first sign they did not have a handle on it was when the roofs started to blow off the buildings and after that, fighting the problem with water-dropping helicopters.
Getting a handle on it is going to take decades and in the mean time there are large areas of Japan that will be uninhabitable, constant concerns over local sources of food and water and many people facing uncertain futures due to the health effects of the radiation.
Count me a skeptic but there is no getting a break from what has already happened.

FWIW the 12 noon ET Fox Radio News said two American Navy ships left the area in a hurry today, including the USS George Washington. A press release said is was due to a predicted shift in the winds and necessary to maintain readiness.
Late last week the Gubermint sent home some civilian contractors despite their wanting to stay. They were not necessarily from the Fukushima area and were not sent home due to reaching exposure limits.
