Arr, yes, but did that mean it was full? No. Guess what, it was empty. If he's the expert, he would have known that. To not mention it was grossly misleading (perhaps he did but the vaunted CNN edited it out because it would have gone a long way to demolishing the drama-level of the story).

And I would be quite happy being in Tokyo right now.

I'm a lowly pilot interested in the facts. Publicly reported concerns? "Full meltdown of the No 4 reactor?" That's not a concern, that's plain, unadulterated rubbish. I'll affront anybody spreading rubbish, nonsense and furphies. And I won't apologise for it.

Good idea.

I have just read, in it's entirity, the transcript of the hearing you linked to in your first post and I cannot find one word that even remotely supports your wild and ridiculous claims. Upon what information did you base your claim that the No 4 reactor was in "full meltdown"?

To my mind, these things are a bit like aircraft accidents; all sorts of red-herrings, furphies and theories flying around just after, but in the cold hard light of day after the dust has settled (!), valuable lessons can be learned and nuclear, the power of the future, will be even safer.
