(13,685 posts)What you wrote is complete nonsense.
You don't even know where the 3 cores are. No one does, but the best idea is that the cores burned through all containment and are now burning into the earth below the reactors.
The waste heat is what is flowing through the spent fuel pools. And they have run out of room to hold all that water. They dug huge pools in the ground and filled those and those pools are also leaking into the ground.
Meanwhile back at the reactors they are pumping water into what is left and it is disappearing. Well, guess what? That water is going into the ground! The pre-explosion/meltdown operations had quite the heat exchange and water cooling system. Very expensive setup needing lots of pumps and piping. All that is now trashed and the areas around the cores they can't even approach. Even the robots they send in burn up.
So basically what you wrote is what you wrote: utter hogwash.
You are scared and you have every reason to be. Not even God can stop it now. Well, maybe he could, but its obvious he doesn't want to or he would, right? Bwahhahahahaha
