The radiation fears added to the catastrophe that has been unfolding in Japan, where at least 10,000 people are believed to have been killed and millions of people were facing a fifth night with little food, water or heating in near-freezing temperatures and snow as they dealt with the loss of homes and loved ones. Up to 450,000 people are in temporary shelters.
The officials at the plant said they were considering asking for help from the U.S. and Japanese militaries to spray water from helicopters into the pool. Experts noted that much of the leaking radiation was apparently in steam from boiling water. It had not been emitted directly by fuel rods, which would be far more virulent. Tuesday's developments fueled a growing panic in Japan and around the world amid widespread uncertainty over what would happen next.
There has been so much speculation about the problems this trauma can cause. I fear that we will not have a complete view of the actual situation when it develops. As of now we can only wait and see the outcome of the horrific event.
