A second reactor is in serious trouble.

Japanese TV station NHK was reporting that 1015 microsieverts per hour were being released - about the same amount as the human limit for one year.

Also, people were being scanned as they left the evacuation zone at the first site.

Ughh I was just about to post this.

"We do believe that there is a possibility that meltdown has occurred. It is inside the reactor. We can't see. However, we are assuming that a meltdown has occurred," he said of the No. 1 reactor at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear facility. "And with reactor No. 3, we are also assuming that the possibility of a meltdown as we carry out measures."
