    Photo: 2 Year Anniversary of Fukushima: The Accident Is NOT Contained Nuclear expert Arnie Gundersen said today that the containment vessel at Fukushima reactor 2 has a large crack in it. Reactors 1, 2 and 3 all exploded. BBC reports today: "They know very little about what’s going on inside Reactors 1, 2, and 3 [...] They don’t really know what the state of the reactor core is." Large quantities of radiation are still leaking into the Pacific Ocean. The operator of the Fukushima plants says it's "impossible" to keep storing radioactive water in tanks, and Tepco will need to intentionally dump it into the ocean. The area around Fukushima has become so contaminated that even the trees are radioactive. And Tokyo is almost as irradiated as Fukushima.

The BBC quote is from the video directly below it): http://www.zerohedge.com/contributed/2013-03-11/2-year-anniversary-fukushima-accident-not-contained ***NOTE: this image is an amplitude map of the tsunami, not of radiation. The only map of the spread of radiation in the Pacific ocean is from a computer simulation created by these researchers: http://iopscience.iop.org/1748-9326/7/3/034004/ Map of simulated radiation contamination in the Ocean: http://enenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/ScreenHunter_48-Jul.-09-09.00.jpg Video of simulated dispersion of radiation in the Ocean: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKD4xpsSsqQ NOAA video of aerosol dispersion of radioactive particles: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=HCzuPm4T4qo Accompanying NOAA dataset for aerosol dispersion: http://www.sos.noaa.gov/Datasets/dataset.php?id=332
