Well from all of the on line news that we have read through so far it does not look good. One reactor has already had some leakage, but so far it was minimal. The reactor is normally cooled by purified/distilled water in a closed system which is very well controlled, but after some damage they have had to revert to using seawater pumped from the near by ocean as an emergency cooling medium. As long as they can keep the water flowing and the rods covered things are good to go, but if cooling fails all together there would be a meltdown, and more than likely a pretty big explosion. It could end up much like the disaster in Chernobyl, Russia, which resulted in an area of about 30-40 square miles being a barron waste land. Everything within that circle will die and be contaminated for approx 100 years or more.

This is a very serious matter. The scariest thing is that a ploom of nuclear radiation could leak into the atmosphere and travel hundreds of miles or more poisoning everything in its path. If two reactors end up this way simotaniously within the same region it could be comepletely disasterous for the entire island of Japan and its nearby neighbors. We should all be saying some kind of prayers for everyone affected by this situation. It is quickly becoming an internation responsibility to resolve whatever problems there are looming from this very large Earthquake and Tsunami. The people of Japan will need help on every level to get out of this mess. The French who from what I am reading set these reactors up in Japan are already ordering all of their people out of Japan for their own safety.
