As if we needed more bad news, Pacific Ocean water near the plant is up from 100 times normal radiation to 1,250.8 times normal. Simply horrible, will this mean fish with 4 eyes or two heads? Turtles with 2 shells or squid with 16 tentacles. They say pressures in the reactors haven't dropped, so they don't think the radiation is coming from the cores. There is doubt that this amount could be coming from the spent fuel pools though.
Judging by misinformation and the 3-4 day delay of information from officials, anything is possible. They really don't know what the pressures are inside of the fuel pods anyway. They are giving a best estimate, my best estimate is they are hoping for the best, but something else is happening. Like maybe the fuel in the #2 reactor, has burned through the bottom of the containment vessel and is seeping into the basement of the turbine building to #2. Even if they know this, and it is true, we won't know for 3-4 days.
For more background information, refer to my posts from the last two days on the reactors. Judging by the huge radiation increases in the turbine houses, now all of the sudden in the ocean too, something has melted down somewhere and will have to be sand-bagged and cemented by from the air. This high level radiation in the ocean water is evaporating into the air and also is emitting gamma-rays/x-rays that are radiating particles already in the air current. They are now urging people to evacuate further...smells fishy. Visit an ad please :-)
