There are 4 cores on that site in Japan. 3 are in what is being called “partial” meltdown.
U.S. Official: ‘Partial Meltdown’ at Japanese Plant
WASHINGTON—U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu said Wednesday he believes a “partial meltdown” occurred at the Japanese nuclear-power plant damaged by explosions, malfunctions and radiation leaks following a 9.0-magnitude earthquake.
Are we supposed to assume that there’s a difference between so called “partial” meltdowns, and meltdowns in progress?
A responsible government might want to begin educating the American public about the global consequences of a full meltdown of up to 4 reactor cores.
Also, this blog has not spent many pixels focused on the President’s vacation schedule, however, while at least 3 nuclear cores are currently melting down in Japan, His Presidency might want to dial back the cool factor just a notch. It’s not playing too well among the commoners.
