You Tube is not a reliable source of information. Don't you think you should back up startling announcements with hard facts or at least a link to a reputable news site?

SENDAI – The radioactivity in water in one unit of a hobbled nuclear power plant in northeastern Japan has tested 10 million times higher than normal, the plant’s operator said Sunday.

Leaked water in Unit 2 of the Fukushima Daiichi plant measured 10 million times higher than usual radioactivity levels when the reactor is operating normally, Tokyo Electric Power Co. spokesman Takashi Kurita told reporters in Tokyo.

Radioactivity in the air in Unit 2 measured at 1,000 millisieverts per hour – four times higher than the occupational limit of 250 millisieverts set by the government, he said.

The readings came as workers grappled with how to remove and store the highly radioactive water pooling in four troubled units at the plant. – AP

This is breaking news. It looks as though Japan cannot save the damaged reactors and they will be scrapped. This could involve encasing them in concrete.

This is very tragic. The workers might die in vain now that efforts have failed to bring things under control.

It was mentioned when they started to use sea water to cool the reactors that they will be damaged beyond repair.
that was a few days after the tragedy. i read this on CNN.
