The reactors are "stable but precarious".

Lots of gasses and liquids being released to the environment. NYT reports 200 tonnes being poured in daily, if it's going in it's coming out 1. as radioactive steam 2. as radioactive water.

Indications off site reveal releases are very large. Evacuation levels out beyond evac zone. Trenches are so radioactive they can't get readings, in the ocean 3,000x standards, this is not from the airbourne releases. It's from the trenches because they're the only sources large enough to cause this.

Serium is being detected indicating serious damage likely the fuel pool unit #4. 70% of the fuel in 3 reactors are melting. Stacks don't work radiation on the ground. In Fukushima exposures 500-100 times higher, way higher than envisioned two weeks ago.

Especially of concern today is the burning of fuel pools - 137,000 fatalities from cancer have been projected from this kind of event in a Brookhaven National Labs study.

People believed containment would contain but it is not.

1. This is developing into a catastrophe.

2. It has always been a catastrophe.

Starting with the quake, then followed by the tsunami, then by the problems at the Fukushima reactors. That was clear the moment a 9.0 earthquake began. It could be nothing but a catastrophe.

There are many elements that contribute to this catastrophe.

3. I suppose I have more trust in the ingenuity of man than I should.
