IAEA-Fukishima Report: http://www.iaea.org/newscenter/news/tsunamiupdate01.html It is interesting to note that this report on the reactor status states reactors 1,2 and 3 cores are exposed but stable, http://www.slideshare.net/iaea/summary-of-reactor-status-1-april-2011-1300-utc There is nothing stable about an "exposed" reactor core. Note the report states there is no information on the #1 reactor. Note article below, it has "gone critical." Trusting the report is an issue, hiding the truth is another issue.
Has Fukushima's Reactor No. 1 Gone Critical? Good question, the real question in reference to civilian nuclear power activities, can anyone trust the nuclear power industry? There are known health risks and scientific facts concerning the physics of a nuclear reaction. Unfortunately the nuclear power industry lies about risks.
In the early days of the manufacture of nuclear weapons a criticality incident occurred, it was called "tickling the dragon." Unfortunately it led to the death of the scientist involved. It should be obvious 1 and possibly 2 of the reactor vessels at Fukishima are ruptured and a "melt down" is occurring. At least one reactor has became uncontrollable, in all probabilities there are 2 reactors which have reached a point of no return. The question becomes, just how far has the meltdown gone? Has the meltdown penetrated the confines of the reactor containment structures?
This is one of the better articles I have seen on the subject of the Fukishima nuclear disaster, http://www.zimbio.com/Fusion+power/articles/XfpPuePkED3/Japan+Fukushima+Nuclear+Plants+Reaching+Critical
