23. It doesn't sound too bad
Edited on Sat Mar-12-11 01:09 PM by Yo_Mama
This is the latest info update from TEPCO on Daini:

http://www.tepco.co.jp/en/press/corp-com/release/11031233-e.html

They are venting reactors 1-4, but they have no information about leaks from the reactor into the containment vessels, and monitoring radiation shows no rise in radiation. Earlier they had suspected a leak at 1, but if they have vented and don't see a rise in radiation, that seems unlikely.

Given that, the situation seems as contained as it can be. Another earthquake might change that, but right now, everything's controlled at Daini.

The real problem is still at Daiichi, where they dumped seawater into reactor 1 and then boric acid:

That's two hours older than the Daini update, so....
