If this room is full of water then if we are lucky it will negate the "china syndrome" theory, and can be entombed NOW. Reactor 2 is still a threat, funky stuff going on. Reactor four it turns out was under renovation at time of the quake and cooling pipes had been removed and sealed off, so the doomsday machine of SFP 4 may have a ticking time bomb next to it for all we know. ![]() |
