5. that's got to be a trick question.
No, the breaking news is that ALL rods were completely exposed in one of the reactors. That is very, very, very bad.

2. Perhaps they mean lack of fuel for the backup generators?

3. Perhaps lack of fuel to power the emergency coolant pumps?
Not watching, so just a guess.

6. Yep, the guy on CNN said they ran out of fuel for the pumps,
but I think it was probably fuel for the generators running the pumps. He said they are running again but the rods were fully exposed during the down time.
