Deadly plutonium is leaking uncontrollably from the Fukushima. Tests show that both the land and seawater around the reactor are contaminated, with no projected end in sight. Based on the readings and observation of damage, fuel rods may have experienced a 70-80% meltdown.

Read how are high levels of radioactive water might be getting out of the Fukushima 1, 2, and 3 Containment Buildings. Fairewinds believes that even if the nuclear reactors have not melted down, radioactively contaminated water is leaking out of the reactors and containment buildings.
Boiling Water Reactors (BWR's), like Fukushima, have dozens of holes in the bottom of the nuclear reactor because BWR control rods enter the reactor from the bottom, unlike Pressurized Water Reactors (PWR's) where the control rods enter from the top.
* U.S. experts: significant water contamination in Japan *
Nuclear and environmental scientists in the United States darkened their assessment of the risks markedly on Monday after operators at the Fukushima Daiichi power plant said that highly radioactive water has entered underground concrete tunnels extending beyond the reactor.
Sea water and fresh water used to cool the reactors, critically damaged by Japan's March 11 earthquake and tsunami, and spent fuel pools at the plant have been put in storage tanks there. But reports indicate these tanks are full or over-flowing with tainted water, experts said.
"It's just hard to see how this won't result in significant contamination of, certainly, sea water," said Edwin Lyman, a physicist and expert on nuclear plant design at the U.S.-based Union of Concerned Scientists.
"There will be dilution, some of that will be reconcentrated, but I don't think this can be sugar-coated at this point."
