There are already two fuel rod meltdowns. Maybe three.
Meanwhile, ABC News succinctly identifies the problem in
Japan Nuclear Crisis: Workers Fail to Stabilize Plant; U.S. Water Pumps Might Be the Answer

One U.S. official told ABC News that they are urging the Japanese to get more people to help the workers inside the plant.

Want to see people in denial? One tank of spent nuclear fuel in reactor 4 needs 200 tons of water. So helicopters spread 7 tons everywhere but in the pool. What fool is ignoring those numbers?
Little got under a roof where fuel rods have already melted. Japanese fire trucks also could do virtually nothing. That effort was a joke before it started. A pool that all but TEPCO management says is dry. Only management (what makes nuclear power so dangerous) is denying that the pool is virtually dry.
In Three Mile Island, Jimmy Carter took control. An NRC director walked into Three Mile Island. In minutes he realized the only problem. He said, "I own this plant." He literally took it away from Met Ed - managers who were doing exactly what is taught in business schools. He took that plant without realizing that Carter had already authorized it because all of America was at that much risk by people with least competence. In minutes, he realized the only reason for Three Mile Island was management - that was also in denial as well as uneducated.
One has to be in complete denial to think multiple meltdowns have not occurred. But more important are the fearless fifty - the engineers in those plants that are getting no support from obviously incompetent TEPCO management. Was there ever a better example of the word "obviously"? They get no support also from a government that has not fired those TEPCO management for overt incompetence. Fired them with contempt because they have been in complete and "obvious" denial for a whole week. Just like an American president who also denied Katrina for almost a week. At what point does "obvious" become obvious?
Yesterday, they finally decided to run new power lines. How long did that take? Six days to make a decision. One day to run the wires. Could the definition of "incompetence" be any more obvious?
Meanwhile, they were also ignoring spent fuel rods in another pool in reactor 3. Even the best fire trucks from Tokyo could not possibly push enough water. So why is that TEPCO only response for Thursday?
You saw helicopters dropping a facet drip all over everything but the dry pool. And then TEPCO management announce it was successful. I could not believe it - watching on NHK live. That asshole had to be lying to his penis - the only thing that should have believed what he said. Because nobody could possibly believe what he said - except other managers who are just as incompetent. Clearly - or is the word "obvious" too hard to understand - those choppers did nothing. And that was TEPCO only solution for the day. Management is easily as incompetent as the Met ED management that first created and then ignored a disaster at Three Mile Island. Another perfect example of fools who never learn the lessons from history. Deja vue 3 Mile Island.
What makes nuclear power so dangerous. 85% of all problems are directly traceable to top management. I often wonder why anyone would not know that.
Multiple meltdowns already exist. Only those most in denial - ie TEPCO management - would deny it.
BTW, a so much largest meltdown and fire in multiple reactors would not threaten anyone in the US or Europe. But this is a lesson for everyone in the world. This is a failure "obviously" traceable to incompetence management. We should be taking names for the same reason we blame Anthony Alexander for intentionally creating the 2003 NE blackout and another almost Three Mile Island at Davis Besse in NW Ohio.
