JAPAN HAS TWO OF SIX NUKE SITES UNDER CONTROL

Some ten days after the disastrous earthquake and tsunami in Japan, the word comes that two nuclear sites are under control. Units 5 and 6, which were not really posing much danger anyway, have their fuel rod pools covered and their reactors safe. But, they continue to struggle with the others, particularly Number 4. An unexpected rise in pressure inside a troubled reactor set back efforts to bring Japan's overheating, leaking nuclear complex under control Sunday as concerns grew that as-yet minor contamination of food and water is spreading. The pressure increase means plant operators need to deliberately release radioactive steam. 

COMMENTS:

Will this horrible tragedy ever end? It is clear that more lives will be lost, particularly if one of the sites that is loaded with plutonium explodes. Radiation is contaminating food and water as far away as Tokyo. Any precipitation there is likely to be laced with radioactivity. It’s an ugly, ugly situation, I don’t care what anybody says.
