4. What a bunch of double talk.
The cores are not "deformed" they are partially melted.

7. perhaps
the core was merely 'spontaneously reconfigured.' And yesterday, the containment building was 'energetically disassembled.'

8. Yep, all that BS about how well built these are from Professor Sjoden
Dr. Sjoden and everyone is trying to convince us that these are built extremely solidly. Questioning if a wall may have fallen down...Too bad about that pesky littl video. The one where the shock waves preceeded the nuclear plant flying hundreds of meters followed by light gray dust plumes.

No worries, nothing could be melting as a result of that energy releae...

Check that man's motives.

9. Piece of trivia
they are... BUT... you knew that was coming... tehy were rated for a 7.5 quake, per article I read earlier from the WSJ (I know the source was surprising)...

So if the planet did just a 7.5 all be fine with the world.

11. Just put CNN on now -- 3 am ... Nye "the science guy" -- unbelievable!!


"The Tsunami washed over the site" --

Imagine that would mean that the storage pools were effected?

Looks like a US weather guy now telling us that no one in US needs to worry!

But in Japan the evacuated areas have been extended --
