This is a very interesting interactive graphic that explains what is happening in the Fukushima Nuclear Power Station (from NY Times). The situation continues to get worse there with an additional explosion earlier today.
“We are on the brink. We are now facing the worst-case scenario,” said Hiroaki Koide, a senior reactor engineering specialist at the Research Reactor Institute of Kyoto University. “We can assume that the containment vessel at Reactor No. 2 is already breached. If there is heavy melting inside the reactor, large amounts of radiation will most definitely be released.”
