Reply #16: If the stricken Fukushima reactors were actually under control by now [View All]

or were in the process of being buried, then our concerns about what this ongoing catastrophe would of course soon become limited to what effect (if any) the already escaped radiation via water and atmospheric transport has caused.

However, obviously that is not the case presently, and we can only speculate on what is happening there, (besides what we have already been told) and the outcome, as well as whether there is any critical information being suppressed by TEPCO, who, just like BP, unfortunately has a checkered history of being just a "tad" dishonest about their activities, obligations, and responsibilities in obtaining and using energy that if misused and abused, could and would harm the health of thousands, if not millions of people.

So as far as I am concerned, any and all information that is released by them, must be taken with a grain of salt, and a bit of caution, if not suspicion, since it obviously is in their best interests to keep a tight grip of complete control over the Fukushima plant, and not eventually become forced to share it with any other group or agency, whether inside or outside of Japan. They are very fortunate in the sense that what they are trying to gain full control over, is so deadly, volatile, and dangerous, that it quite understandably discourages "participation" by anyone that is not obligated in any way to do so.
