Anyway, it looks like they've managed to clear the debris blocking the way of the firetrucks. Attempts to cool down Unit 3 and 4 are under way.
And most the radiation seems fairly contained within the site's boundaries?

Quote:After clearing heavy explosion debris from tsunami and the various explosions across the site over the last six days, eleven high pressure fire trucks are now showering the reactors. It is thought they are targeting unit 3. Tackling that first may lower the high radiation levels on the ground near that unit, allowing more flexibility and speed when tackling unit 4 or any subsequent units whose fuel pools may get into trouble
And most the radiation seems fairly contained within the site's boundaries?
Quote:Despite high levels of radiation close to the units, levels detected at the edge of the power plant site have been steadily decreasing.That's about half a day's worth of exposure to be compared with a single CT scan.
