Article claims NHK reporting that Fukushima plant is going into meltdown
- hackermom 16y ago"As we drive, we listen to live reports on the state broadcaster NHK, which says the Fukushima No 1 plant has started to go into meltdown." Anyone found any other sources verifying this statement from NHK?
- Paulomus 16y agoNHK World English has an online at http://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/ http://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/ so you could listen in. I didn't see any mention of meltdown in the latest news there. NHK's Japanese page reports a declaration of an emergency situation (apparently under official regulations for when a certain radiation level is reached) but otherwise nothing I hadn't already read. It might just be the OP interpreting the situation as the beginnings of a meltdown. edit: just spotted anigbrowl's post. Could have saved myself the googling (Ducking?)
- anigbrowl 16y agoYes, it did...about 48 hours ago. The article is written in the present tense to describe the experience of the last 3 days in a vivid manner, it's not meant to be a report of the latest events. This should have been obvious from the frequent references to the passage of time and events which took place on Friday or yesterday.
