Meanwhile the core at Fukushima has melted into the ground water under the plant and BBC reported pictures this week of the sea boiling off steam just off shore from the plant as the core creates fission with the open water. Best case scenario is the core melts through down through the crust to the mantel, and it causes the earth to open up and swallow the whole plant and all its poison water.
