According to the interview that I saw on TV last night with Michio Kaku (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michio_Kaku), it is going to take a miracle to avert total disaster at that plant. Kaku said the men working to stop a meltdown are like samurai and know they may never leave the plant alive. It was rather moving.
He spoke of contamination already showing up in food in Tokyo, parts of Northern Japan becoming a dead zone and the very real chance of the damage spreading into the ocean. He also said the utility is in way over their head and utterly incapable of handling this disaster.
Kaku has--had--family in Japan. He said they've already gotten out.
