Officials with the operator of the damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant say the water level inside the No.2 reactor’s containment vessel is about half what they had estimated. [...] They found the water was around 30 centimeters [11.8 inches] deep. TEPCO officials [...] say they don’t know whether the fuel is entirely submerged.
Sure would be nice to get a full complete accurate story one of these days.
I mean... it is worldwide issue.

I don't think so but bad for the area affected incl. the sea around the affected area, and partly for the whole of Japan.
care to back those thoughts up
as far as i knew we in the modern era have never had a nuclear meltdown of this size and right on the coast.
so how could we know the long term effects of this disaster and how far it will potentially spread ?
I can't as we don't see enough real data yet to make some estimates.
No...but we do have Chernobyl to compare with, even though they are different in size and fuel used.
Unfortunately we will just have to wait and see and use what we know from example Chernobyl. That's why i said "i think" from the knowledge i/we have on disasters like this.

They have camera's, they have drones, they have cranes, why don't they have photos and footage to show us?
they say a fair amount, but they never show me proof.
I think its a spectacular fail, that will have significant health consequences on the entire worlds population, in due time!
We have no idea or the technological capability to clean it up.
Chernobyl was a fluke and much less a problem, so again, why have Tepco been telling us bullplop since 2011?

All our best known tech fries in minutes in such an environment.
They have tried using robots at fukushima I think,and they fried before getting close to any melted fuel.
You are correct,its a massive failure-all based on greed and money of course.
Only time will tell how bad this gets.There is no solution it seems.
Depressing or what?
