Radioactive fallout from Fukushima will last for decades

Fukushima beyond point of no return as radioactive core melts through containment vessel.

No American or Japanese news agency is accurately reporting the ongoing problems at Fukushima as well as several other Japanese nuclear plants, you have to find news from objective sources like Al Jazeera or the UK's Guardian:

"The battle to save the Fukushima nuclear power plant now appears lost as the radioactive core from Reactor No. 2 has melted through the containment vessel and dropped into the concrete basement of the reactor structure. This is "raising fears of a major release of radiation at the site," reports The Guardian, which broke the story (). A former General Electric nuclear expert told The Guardian that Japan appears to have "lost the race" to save the reactor."
