Got the latest press summary from Toyko Electric Power to load;

You all can read for yourselves there’s no mention of fuel rods fully exposed, don’t have a clue where reuters got their information unless they confused “fully insterted” with “fully exposed”.
The press has been saying a lot of sketchy stuff. NPR reported yesterday that they had received a report of hundreds of people from the plant area suffering from a low-grade radiation sickness, but all those people were evacuated before any releases.
