Japan Nuclear Event LEVEL 7 OF 7, a Chernobyl like incident.

I was reading my daily update on the Hungary disaster website
when I noticed that they have updated the INES level to

LEVEL 7

Anyone hear about this? I sure didn't.

Maybe they are getting updates that we are not getting?

I can imagine they have updated the scale because of the contaminated seawater.


I'm waiting for the officials to announce it, that's when I'll start getting nervous.

This is the latest update from RSOE EDIS.

Workers were evacuated on Sunday from a reactor building they were working in after high doses of radiation were detected at Japan's stricken nuclear power plant in Fukushima, the plant's operator said. Tokyo Electric Power Co , the plant's operator, said radiation 10 million times the usual level was detected in water that had accumulated at the No.2 reactor's turbine housing unit.

Actually, it's an International Nuclear Event Scale:

i heard it was upped from 5 to six
that was one or two days ago

Now hitting major news, just saw on king 5 in Seattle. Figures they would try to minimize this by burying it after the weather.
