So, reports are now out that one or more of the Fukushima Daiichi reactors really did meltdown, and TEPCO has come up with a great solution...
Told you so (well, ok so reactor 1 also slumped and breached the pressure vessel - hoocoodanode the water gauges were broken...?)
Good news is TEPCO now has a plan.
A brilliant plan.
They are going to tent the reactors!!!
Brilliant!
But, wait, this sounds familiar
This is so public spirited of TEPCO in these trying times.
Save the world in an aesthetically pleasing manner and sponsoring public art, all at the same time.
Rumours of AT&T sponsorship of the operation are just that
after all, there is no such thing as bad publicity...

TEPCO was going to start removing the fuel rods from the less-damaged reactor building Numnber 4 over the next few days. Today, it was announced that damage to the fuel rod assemblies, some or most of which predated the tsunami and earthquake, this could not be done.

Fukushima Update #70: If you can't measure it, you can't analyze it.
by Analiese Miller and Greg Laden
There is a lot happening in Japan, and the situation at Fukushima remains pretty much out of human control. There is a nuclear incident at a reactor site other than Fukushima. There is still quite a bit of radioactive material leaking into the sea.
