In an effort to avoid meltdown, they are now flooding the reactor at Fukushima with sea water. Although officials are downplaying the seriousness of the recent events at Fukushima, they have ordered an evacuation of all people within a 12 mile radius.
In addition to sea water, the people at Tokyo Electron are adding boric acid to the concoction, in order to disrupt the nuclear chain reaction.
NOTE: Over 200,000 people have been ordered to evacuate. Despite the plethora of reports that predict some sort of an apocalypse, Japanese officials insist they have things under control.
Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano said they were venting out air, which contained radiation, but very low levels.
UPDATE: Japanese officials are streaming a conference right now.
I’m starting to think the Mayans were right all along.
Lets hope the Mayans “World” was alot smaller than ours
Right about what?

Did you read the internet rumors that if you added together the dates of the Japan earthquake (3/10/2011) to the WTC disaster (9/11/2001), you came up with 12/21/2012 – the day the Mayan calendar ends and everyone is saying the world ends!
Oops, unfortunately the Japan earthquake date was actually 3/11/2011…close, but no cigar.
Damn…
What really amazes me in this situation is to know that the Japanese, with all their superiority in electronics compared to other nations, have always had problems with it in their nuclear power plants. And now these mistakes have reached a critical level. It is just sad to see desperation of their efforts. There won’t be any meltdowns of course–the reactors had been shut down–but still contamination is a very near possibility. It’s just so difficult to grasp that they are facing such kind of problems for which they thought they had the solutions. After all their NPPs were designed for these conditions, yet still the protection systems failed. FUCKING UNBELIEVABLE!
The Japanese are not superior in electronics, far from it.
“Fukushima” you cant make that shit up. I believe it is near Yousukie.
