At the Fukushima Nuclear Plants, an extremely serious situation continues. So far, large amounts of radioactive materials have not been released, but in the worst case, this could happen. Specifically, one or more of the following could occur: 1) a complete meltdown of the nuclear fuel as a result of a further lowering of the water level within a nuclear reactor, 2) a large-scale explosion, and 3) release of a large amount of radiation from the spent fuel storage pools.
