Humankind is now threatened by the simultaneous implosion, explosion, incineration, courtroom contempt and drowning of its most lethal industry.
 
We know only two things for certain:    worse is yet to come, and those in charge are lying about it---at least to the extent of what they actually know, which is nowhere near enough.
 
Indeed, the assurances from the nuke power industry continue to flow like the floodwaters now swamping the Missouri Valley heartland.  
 
But major breakthroughs have come from a Pennsylvania Senator and New York's Governor on issues of evacuation and shut-down.    And a public campaign for an end to loan guarantees could put an end to the US industry once and for all.  
 
FUKUSHIMA:    The bad news continues to bleed from Japan with no end in sight.    The "light at the end of the tunnel" is an out-of-control radioactive freight train, headed to the core of an endangered planet.  
 
Widespread internal radioactive contamination among Japanese citizens around Fukushima has now been confirmed. http://nukefree.org/internal-human-contamination-confirmed-fukushima
Two whales caught some 650 kilometers from the melting reactors have shown intense radiation. http://blog.alexanderhiggins.com/2011/06/15/japan-nuclear-radiation-whales-caught-650-km-fukushima-31-becquerels-kilogram-cesium-detected-27701/
 
Plutonium, the deadliest substance known to our species, has been found dangerously far from the site.

Tokyo Electric and the Japanese government have admitted to three 100% meltdowns but can't confirm with any reliability the current state of those cores.    There's reason to believe one or more have progressed to "melt-throughs" in which they burn through the thick stainless steel pressure vessel and onto the containment floor.  
 
The molten cores may be covered with water.    But whether they can melt further through the containments and into the ground remains unclear.
