Just when it seemed things might be under control at Fukushima, we find they are worse than ever.
Immeasurably worse.
Massive quantities of radioactive liquids are now flowing through the shattered reactor site into the Pacific Ocean. And their make-up is far more lethal than the “mere” tritium that has dominated the headlines to date.

The Japanese government is stepping in. But there is no guarantee--or even likelihood--it will do any better.
In fact, there is no certainty as to what’s causing this out-of-control flow of death and destruction. Full story...
