There is no meltdown, it's not even a technical term. The nuclear reaction was stopped the instant the quake began. The problem has been cooling since the tsunami knocked out all their backup generators (backup to it was a battery, it ran it for the 8 hours it had juice for, we're currently on the backup backup backup with seawater and boron). There's no "new" heat being made, just what's being produced by the radiation decaying which is giving them a hell of a problem.

Worst case possible, the whole thing is built in a sarcophagus, they just seal it up and wait for the heat to die down. It will not flood America with radioactive death like the media would have you believe.

Also punch anyone who compares it to Chernobyl, that was a runaway nuclear reaction because it was designed by idiots and run by idiots. This plant just withstood an earthquake 7 times stronger then it was designed to, bravo to the engineers on that one... maybe less so the tsunami knocking everything out.

Lastly you missed a 0, at least 10,000 dead it seems, unless that's a media beat-up as well.
