Expecting the Unexpected
Look, I don't want anyone to panic, but seriously ~ this situation is not going to get "better." Once they flooded the towers with sea water they ruined the plant and now it cannot be fixed. Once those fuel rods aren't covered with water anymore, they will melt down and nothing can stop them. These explosions are damaging the containment and they can't be repaired. The wind is blowing towards Tokyo and even staying indoors and wearing a mask is not going to save everyone.
Obama could come out and say that "All is Well," and it wouldn't be true even if it made people feel better. Our government is watching in horror like the rest of the world. It's just like Katrina and the Gulf Oil Spill ~ all the experts in the world can't stop it or turn back the clock.
So truly, please don't believe all the happy talk on the news from the technocrats who work for the nuclear industry. They are counting on the fact that most people don't remember much about Chernobyl and Three Mile Island (which was actually a success story compared to this mess).
The headlines on Kyodo News are a good source of information straight out of Japan, although there is some spin going on there as well.
