Not clear if they're waiting for the Reactor 4 fire to resolve itself, or if this is an exposure issue.

1. Ed S. is discussing this now on MSNBC

n/t

6. Radiation risk is too high....

2. So who the heck is keeping an eye on the reactors?

:shrug:

[Dennis Donovan]

5. No one - they're giving up...

:(

[brooklynite]

7. Actually, most staff are about 9 miles away monitoring the situation...

the problem is that workers need to on site to do the mechanical tasks.

3. I thought Anderson Cooper was waiting for confirmation

Not definite yet. What does stun me is what his guest asked: why is this private company allowed to work on this still, with no International Atomic people on the ground, and no Japanese govt in there?

8. Great question.

As a national security issue, I would think they would send an special force to deal w the situation. These people have been fighting this on their own for a few days now. They are probably giving up out of exhaustion. How sad!

9. This is now under SNAFU in the dictionary n/t

[catabryna]

10. Sounds remarkably similar to the way our government handled BP oil spill...

I've never been able to wrap my head around that one either.

[adigal]

11. True - BP was "in charge" with the Coast Guard

enforcing their "laws."

[Thunderstruck]

4. Has there been any pictures of that site since #2 exploded yesterday?
