Fukushima Radiation In Seawater 4.385 Times Legal Standard

Et facta est tertia pars aquarum in absinthium, et multi hominum mortui sunt de aquis, quia amarae factae sunt. (Revelation 8:11)

The radioactive core in one reactor at Fukushima's nuclear power plant appears to have melted through the bottom of its containment vessel, according to The Independent.

Richard Lahey, who was a head of reactor safety research at General Electric when the company installed the units at Fukushima, said the workers, who have been pumping water into the three reactors in an attempt to keep the fuel rods from melting, had effectively lost their battle.

Lahey said: "The core has melted through the bottom of the pressure vessel in unit two, and at least some of it is down on the floor of the drywell".

As radioactive contamination spreads, another 130.000 people could be forced to leave their homes.

Radioactivity in seawater near the Fukushima nuke plant exceeds the legal limit 4.385 times.

Radiation has also found its way into milk, vegetables, and tap-water.

If the crisis goes on for six months, the total cost for personal liability for Tepco could amount to 20 billion euros, according to analyst Yusuke Ueda.

Now workers at Japan's stricken nuclear plant are reportedly being offered huge sums to brave high radiation.

State broadcaster NHK said underground tunnels linked to reactors 1, 2 and 3 are flooded with water containing radiation measured in some spots at a highly dangerous 1.000 millisieverts an hour.

1.000 millisieverts an hour will immediately harm humans.

We are talking about mild to severe nausea, loss of appetite, infection; more severe bone marrow, lymph node, and spleen damage.

If exposed to 1.000 millisieverts an hour, recovery is probable, but not assured.

I really hope those brave men who went into the reactors not did it in vain.
