In reply to the discussion: Japan’s Fukushima plant faces danger of overheating [View all]RobertEarl
(13,685 posts)56. They don't know where the cores are
But the radiation in the form of isotopes, heavy metals, and even core materials are un-contained, having entered, and entering the environment. The whole place is falling apart. Some buildings are too hot for even robots to get close. Three buildings are smoldering ruins and they've stopped moving used fuel from the one fuel pool they could get too. Ground water is flowing through the plant's basements and into the pacific. Increasing levels of radionuclides are being found in the ocean.
It will be going on, and getting worse and worse for gawd knows how long. People have every right to be alarmed and concerned.
