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.
