As far as I understood the article. Röttgens assumes a nuclear meltdown according to the information he has. Guido Westerwelle, the German secretary of state, advises German citizen to use conventional transportation to get out of the catastrophe zone. Edit: I'll change from German feeds to NHK: http://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/ at least there is more info and less internal politics...

Any news that there is a melt down going on right now is false, of course there is still a chance but precautions are taken as we speak/lurk to assure it doesn't occur. So far everything is going well and I have fate nothing bad will happen.
As for the responses from awful haters, honestly I was joking about it too but heck even they wouldn't want a meltdown to happen. The chan forums are full of jokes, I take it lightly because personally I think they are just as bad as people only worrying about famous people. specially in a situation in which thousands have died :/ ooh lets hope this one guy made it out because I want my manga. Lastly wiki is having a death date raid so I heard, without any proper source do not believe anything concerning deaths of famous people |

Water used outside the reactor container probably. It is still very hot in terms of the vapor point on water. If it is hot enough to break the bonds of the steam produced to their component oxygen and hydrogen...well there is your hydrogen and its fuel source...all it needs is a way to ignite it. Assuming it wasn't just an explosion from too much pressure from all the steam.

between the terrible acoustics, soft voices of the power company/ safety reps and various nuclear science terms which i am still learning, it's hard to grasp much from this press conference.
According to Asahi Newspaper, at time of explosion 90 people are thought to be exposed to radiation. |

new press conference:
they are still in the progress of putting the sea water in place. They are preventing a possible meltdown in order to take action they use the sea water technique to form a shield. (question of the effects if they fail) Even if it fails they don't think it'll effect the 20km that was evacuated but they did it just in case. The previously injured people (I assume the 4 that got exposed and airlifted earlier) are undergoing treatment. When the explosion happened 4 people got injured who were near the turban or however it is spelled. (I think more people for injured, since previously it was said all people outside during the explosion got radiation, but I believe it was low enough to get washed off) Damn they speak so soft at the conference :/ something about the power supply that is being set up at the reactors, and 4 pumps that are being used for the sea water (2 are working or 3 not sure because it is hard to hear). And about the water levels in the reactors.. all very technical. The data is being updated. They're adding a lot of stats about reaction 1. about depressurizing the reactor. It is very hard to understand because they talk so soft, but it is all stats and things we already knew. The radiation hasn't really changed, it is still low. Slowlly it is decreasing, but they are still taking precautions because the presure is still very high though the temperature is low. That is it so far I believe. TBS news is saying that the missing train might be found. Also help organisations are being set up right now. There might not be time yet to clean up all the bodies on the beaches. The tsunami warning has been narrowed further down to tsunami watch in some areas. Singapore arrived 5 hours ago at Narita to help. China is sending aid, announced 1 hour ago. 2 hours ago Russia announced to be sending aid. Also Australia and the USA are shedueled to arrive today. France is sending help as well. In North Japan rescue workers have already started (the Japanese ones). Last edited by -KarumA-; 2011-03-12 at 12:08. |

According to these feeds, the japanese ministry informed the International Atomic Energy Agency that the dose of radiation has passed the allowed tolerance limit. No further details have been given. The current status of the incidence is classified 4 of 7 levels on tine Ines-Skala for Atomic accidents. Level 4 includes meltdown and dose of radiation. In comparison Tschernobyl is level 7 classified. In the meantime I also heard the half hours news and at the moment it is unclear whats going on. While the japanese government said that there was no meltdown during the explosion they do not exclude that a meltdown can still happen. My prayers and hopes are going to Japan. I really hope you guys have found a save shelter.
