Fukushima came close to complete meltdown

A new report shows that the meltdown at Japan's Fukushima Dai-ichi power plant, triggered by the earthquake and tsunami, was much worse than originally thought. Lucy Craft details how close Fukushima came to a total catastrophe.

Don't worry now for it's too late!

In 50's &60's, the US& USSR tested for the nuke & already spewed out 5000 becquerel per 1m square to all over the world! And as for the Chernobyl about 100 becquerel or so to the rest of the world(exception of Europe, was as bad as testing by the US & USSR),As to this FUKUSHIMA, it's less than 20-40 becquerel or so in the US.It's too late to worry.

I can't believe they're reinventing history again. Three meltdowns. Don't listen to them . They're all in the ground water. Actually that's a lie. One whole reactor was thrown into the air. The supposed hydrogen gas explosion! But who really gives a s$%t anyway. The yanks test exotic weaponary all throughout my country (Australia). It's ten times worse since we turned over all our military bases to the yanks in 2004. Breath it in people! mmmmmm....

who says it didnt hit the water table? CBS ka'mon... WhT about the pools of glowing water in the basement? You think that stuff was taken care of NO. Fukishima is a wakeup call. Also tell the government of japan to stop burning the waste from that plant as well. California is still getting nuk rain because of them burning the waste from that site.

3 FULL meltdowns - with reactors leaking water

Spent fuel rod pools damaged and one is even leaning.

They are not out of the woods yet

0:30 Lol! One reactor almost suffered a full meltdown. Like let's pretend that "full meltdown" means "China syndrome" and so anything less than a China syndrome is less than a full meltdown. And opening with the line "one reactor suffered a meltdown" 0:09! Facepalm!

i took the right decision 5 years ago not to study nuclear engineering, because its a dying field and its a dirty source of energy!
