@all Very nice word crafting, time now to put it together.

One typo jumped out at me, toward the bottom. It says "lesson" rather than "lessen" with regard to radiation exposure.

@all This is just my working copy. I'll post it on the ozcatradio pages when it's filled in more. Then i'll give you the published link too.

@JMV I just want to know, how Khan can say they are not in meltdown,. when they have not been able to get anywhere close due to the leaks and radiation strength ?

He said "not completely melted". "70% Nuclear Rods Damaged on Fukushima Reactor 1, 33% Damaged on Reactor 2, Partial Reactor Core Melting Possible" www.technology.am

'The 6 problem reactors which have gotten all of the press are located within the Fukushima Daiichi complex.

However, the same nuclear power plant operator that runs the Daiichi complex - Tepco - runs a separate nuclear complex 7 miles away, called Fukushima Daini. There are 4 reactors located at the Daini complex.

On March 12th, Tepco reported:

Unit 1

- At 8:19am, there was an alarm indicating that one of the control rods
was not properly inserted, however, at 10:43am the alarm was automatically
called off. Other control rods has been confirmed that they are fully
inserted (reactor is in subcritical status)

***

- At 6:08PM, we announced the increase in reactor containment vessel
pressure, assumed to be due to leakage of reactor coolant. However, we
do not believe there is leakage of reactor coolant in the containment
vessel at this moment.

- At 5:22AM, the temperature of the suppression chamber exceeded 100
degrees. As the reactor pressure suppression function was lost, at 5:22AM,
it was determined that a specific incident stipulated in article 15,
clause 1 has occurred.

(Article 15, Clause 1 of Japan's Act on Special Measures Concerning Nuclear Emergency Preparedness simply provides that there are elevated radiation levels or that "an event specified by a Cabinet Order as an event that indicates the occurrence of a nuclear emergency situation has occurred.")
On March 14th, Reuters reported:

Tokyo Electric Power Co Inc said on Monday it had detected a rise in radiation levels at its Fukushima Daini nuclear power plant.

A company spokesman said that the cooling process at the plant has been working properly and that the rise was probably due to radiation leak at the nearby Fukushima Daiichi nuclear complex, where cooling functions were damaged by Friday's massive earthquake and tsunami.

Today, Tepco announced that smoke was seen rising from Daini reactor number 1:

Smoke was spotted at another nuclear plant in northeastern Japan on Wednesday, Tokyo Electric Power Co. said.

The company said smoke was detected in the turbine building of reactor No. 1 at the Fukushima Daini nuclear power plant around 6 p.m. (5 a.m. ET).

Smoke could no longer be seen by around 7 p.m. (6 a.m. ET), a company spokesman told reporters''.

Daini has been leaking since the 12th and they've been blaming it on Daichi. Today we hear they "had cleared a key milestone toward stabilizing"

@VeenOui You made me laugh.

@VeenOui And you're probably not far off from the truth.

This just struck me as odd - just now measuring. * From April 22nd, we will install the thermocouple-type thermometer and
  the radiation dose meter to the concrete pumping vehicle at the spent
  fuel pool of Unit 4 and we will investigate the water level of pool,
  water temperature, radiation dose, water analysis etc.
