Nuke Experts: Japan May Have Only Hours Before Meltdown

TV tickers are reporting radiation 1000 times normal in the area, in spite of this
planned release.

A 10 km evacuation zone has been declared.

Could be not very good.

Yet, they say that that will still not affect your health.

Fukushima reactor pressure may have hit 2.1 times capacity

Radiation 1,000 times normal at Japan nuke plant Seepage detected around quake-damaged Fukushima plant, thousands evacuated

I wonder about the idea of the China syndrome. If they have it in Japan does that mean its called USA Syndrome?

they have lost control

there's more than one problem

I hope the winds blow east for them...

Well their plan to vent the reactor isn't going to happen....no power, so the pressure will continue to build.

It's just a small leak.....

Update 7:39: The latest from Kyodo Wire: Government holds emergency meeting on the plant, and is taking unprecedented stap of demanding the plant open a key valve.

I'm not an engineer yet both I'm quite sure they have come kind of valve to release pressure after some levels.

there are lots of valves. However, the difference is being able to to do it at a safe distance in a controlled manner and then there is having to do it manually

So, someone will need to sacrafice himself ? It's like a scenario of a 90's movie.
