Re: Japan's quake toll set to exceed 1,000, world offers help
Situation update:
The last thing I heard earlier today ....
Explosions at 3 of the formerly active reactors. The fourth reactor ( which was shut down and used for spent fuel rod storage ) was overheating. The water in the storage reactor was boiling off.
Radiation is confirmed to be leaking from at least one reactor and can be monitored as far as Tokyo. Winds were from the east/northeast blowing contamination towards Tokyo.
