If necessary, we could even nuke the plant (thereby burning up all the material). There would be far less radiation spread than from a plant which turns into a Chernobyl (if that is in the offing—which btw I doubt).

Excellent idea! Actually, we should nuke the site repeatedly, no less than 25 times, because each time, you lose a little more radiation. Why, we could dump all our domestic nuclear waste at the site and then nuke it with our heaviest bombs!

It is certainly interesting that in the remote-viewer of TV/Radio/Internut media, everyone distrusts the "other side" as determined by each person's predetermined agenda. People who are pro-nuke want to find out that the meme will be similar to GlobalWarmism or DeepHorizon....that the reality turns out to be much less severe than the breathless hype.

People who are anti-nuke want to prepare the battlefield for their "I told you so" glory.

Conspiracists want to prove that the governments or companies or both conspired to hide the truth.

Meanhile technomilitarists cling to notions that super-secret block-ops teams have alien technology which could zoom out of the sky with super-secret flying concrete trucks and entomb the problem if only Obama would give them the go aheead.

What about us Pro-Laz-Hitting-It people?

They don't need baling wire. They need water, pumps and piping and power.

Something like this would help.

Crews began aerial water spraying operations from helicopters to cool reactor 3 at Fukushima Daiichi shortly before 9 p.m. EDT on Wednesday, March 16. The operation was planned for the previous day, but was postponed because of high radiation levels at the plant. News sources said temperatures at reactor 3 were rising. Each helicopter is capable of releasing 7.5 tons of water.

Spokesmen for TEPCO and Japan's regulatory agency, Nuclear and Industry Safety Agency, on March 17 Japan time refuted reports that there was a complete loss of cooling water in the used fuel pool at Fukushima Daiichi reactor 4.

The spokesmen said the situation at reactor 4 has changed little during the day today and water remained in the fuel pool....
