I don’t know. The plants are state of the art and being built on fault lines to begin with, they have many safety precautions. But as these things go, you don’t know until it happens. And this was a HUGE quake.

They had 3 meltdowns so far? Another this morning. It’s going from bad to worse.

Well, it’s really hard to tell how bad the situation is right now, since there seems to be little clear information that we can reliably go on. I’m not even sure the experts on the ground know the scope of it all and they may not know for sure until well after everything is (hopefully) brought under control. I admit, that isn’t exactly a reassuring statement, though.
