There have been various reports that Japan is considering upgrading the crisis from 5 to 6 on the nuclear crisis scale.

I thought this crisis had already been rated a 6.

At any rate they need to entomb those reactors in concrete ASAP.

5,000 degree molten uranium/plutonium encased in anything is a bomb. There’s 90,000 lbs of NaCl encasing the rods right now too thanks to the sea water being sprayed on them. What happens to 90,000+ lbs of NaCl when you encase it with 5,000 degree molten Uranium/Plutonium? Nothing good probably. As I understand it, there is no known protocol for this emergency scenario. It isn’t “in the books”. This is the worst case scenario.

Burying them without gaining control of cooling would just make it worse.
