Engineers Find Nuclear Meltdown At Fukushima Plant

Posted by timothy on from the that's-not-got-much-meltdown-in-it dept.

fysdt writes "Engineers from the Tokyo Electric Power company (Tepco) entered the No.1 reactor at the end of last week for the first time and saw the top five feet or so of the core's 13ft-long fuel rods had been exposed to the air and melted down. Previously, Tepco believed that the core of the reactor was submerged in enough water to keep it stable and that only 55 per cent of the core had been damaged."

    You pray at the altar of your pet economic "theory" daily. That kind of supply side jesus.... Nevermind, I made the error of arguing with an idiot, getting dragged down to his level and beaten by experience. Carry on.
