Strong quake and tsunami hits Japan

[ordnance11]

As far as I know, the 4th reactor didn't catch fire, the building the 4th reactor was in caught fire (briefly). The 4th reactor had been offline since November for inspection and the fuel had been removed and added to the storage pool.
Now what IS worrisome is that the 4th building is being used for rod storage for the other reactors.
Fortunately, the rods are supposed to be stored under water in a storage pool while they cool down (in a radioactive sense) so they can be moved somewhere for reprocessing.

(Still looking up more info, it's early.)

And it's being reported that the storage pool is boiling...you only got 50 employees fighting the situation fighting a crisi in 4 reactors.

It's now offical..It's now been declared by 6 out of 7 by the French ASN. I do note the IEA is keeping mum. The japanese will have to start prepping for the final step. Entombing all the reactors in concrete ala Chernobyl while the containment is still holding. May or may not be needed, but better get ready as a final step because it's going to take time to assemble men, machines and materials for that task.
