Amazing report on the tragedy. And what can be learnt from it to improve future planning and safety measures.

Thanks for sharing. +1.

Thanks, a good read indeed.

The really scary bit was,

Critical mass for uranium is just 110 pounds; plutonium only needs to melt into a 35-pound mass to go critical and explode in a violent chain reaction. But the No. 3 reactor core at Fukushima contains more than 7 tons of uranium and a half a metric ton of plutonium.

The No. 3 reactor is running the hottest and contains 6 to 7 times more fuel than Chernobyl. Let's hope they can stop it melting.

Mike.
