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.

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

[Scape]

they have lost control

[ShepherdsDog]

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.

[ShepherdsDog]

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.
