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.

after all, there is no such thing as bad publicity...
