Fukushima - One Step Forward and Four Steps Back as Each Unit Challenged by New Problems
Arne is back on with a new 11:44 video submission:

http://www.fairewinds.com/updates

Gundersen says Fukushima's gaseous and liquid releases continue unabated. With a meltdown at Unit 1, Unit 4 leaning and facing possible collapse, several units contaminating ground water, and area school children outside the exclusion zone receiving adult occupational radiation doses, the situation continues to worsen. TEPCO needs a cohesive plan and international support to protect against world-wide contamination.


"...Unstable is an understatement...where did the water go?....#1 is dry....highly radioactive....no change in #2, leaking like a sieve...proposed cleansing is beyond anything ever contemplated...otherwise it will be released into groundwater and into the ocean...thinks there was no fire in #3....temps high, pressure low, no steam in #3....violent explosion in pool evidenced...high levels of iodine 131 in that pool...prompt criticality suspected still...#4 is leaning, admitted by TEPCO, strong aftershock could topple the rest of it...etc., etc., etc.
