Amen to that.
Glenn Beck did a fairly good job yesterday doing nuclear containment for dummies, but the number of probable scenarios went up since then.
This chart shows Radiation levels in Irabaki (south of Fukushima) increasing.
Levels for Fukushima and Miyagi are “Under Review”, which likely means CENSORED.
These numbers are in “Grays”.
Japan Radiation By Maximum:

Shep is reporting that ther is no water covering the spent fuel rods at site 4. This is not good.
Yes and unimaginable for those of us in the USA. Whole communities just gone! That whole area looks like a dumping ground.
BTW I was on three TV chat sites attempting to say what was really going on....amazing that people seem to want the hype...I got my first three bans! For not being hyped! Imagine that....they really want to imagine the worst and remain in hype mode.
I hear the power may soon be at the reactors which is encouraging...hopefully pumps will be repaired enough or able to get the water where it needs going...but the work to clean things up just at the plants impossible to imagine as well.
Here is the most recent AOL News on the catastrophe in Japan.
If you see Obama on the golf course or shooting hoops, then you can conclude that there is a serious international crisis going on at that moment.
If Obama is not golfing, then we have nothing to worry about.
Anytime.
For once in his life the POTUS seems to have made an accurate statement a few days back. It is a heartbreaking scene.
Below is a picture of a star reporter for that website:

I did not post the picture of the kitty... I just like the graphic.
I think all breaking news threads on the Japanese Reactor situation should have Viking Kitten pictures...
Some folks need to lighten up.
I agree, there’s a big black hole in the data, and really no reason for that. There are monitoring stations all over the place.
I haven’t read the entire thread but apparently this guy made this announcement at an event last night, not necessarily for publication. The press somehow picked it up and aired it today.
In response, the markets tanked across the board after the press ran it.
Was somebody short the market? Hmm....
It’s not important ...
meanwhile Obama is ready to release his top 4 picks for the NBA
hopefully before they leave for Rio on their trip to see the sights ...
The MSM breathlessly awaits ....
LOL!
“they turned the phones off months ago.”
Obama hasn’t yet been trained on how to answer the WH phone at 3:00 AM. Ever since he became president, he’s been steadily working through the “How to be POTUS” briefings prepared by WH staff—one a day (except on golf days). The “How to Answer the Phone at 3:00 AM” briefing doesn’t come until early next year...
Of course, the scary thing is that these briefings have to first be vetted by Joe Biden, who has the authority to change any content in them. It’s the blind leading the blind.
““effectively out of control” could also apply to our Congress and spending .I think that will destroy US before any nuke plant.”
The difference being that the Congress scenario actually has a higher probability of occurring.
Jim Robinson has either had surgery to remove his remaining or will have that shortly.
So something light hearted will be positive for the Robinson family, especially Amy.
Her handle is Just Amy or JustAmy.
The nuke reactor part of this disaster is starting to remind me of the BP oil spill. So many conflicting reports, stories and versions. Who to believe?
The truth is there somewhere in between....
the lines.
“Effectively” the Luddites amongst us are off their meds and in full panic mode. Probably the best thing for them to do is go into their safe room for the duration. I bet a lot of these folks have their cats wear protective helmets.
