They don't know where the fuel rods are. That is not a good thing.

Similar to Chernobyl. They use the ice wall there also. (or did anyway).
If you EVER want to read something scary, read the Wikipedia article on the Chernobyl event.
Lots of Brave people died there.

They don't know where the fuel rods are. That is not a good thing. I looked on my globe to see where the "China Syndrome" would come out from Japan and it appears to be the South Atlantic Ocean pretty far off the east coast of South America. I guess that's where they need to look.
