This is worth a read, as far as that reactor's concerned- especially the part where there is a 90% chance of an earthquake measuring 7+ on the Richter scale in the next few years, and the amount of nuclear fuel that's likely to be released into the atmosphere should unit 4 go down.

I agree with Ron Wyden (D-OR) that the world should offer to work together to fix this. It will be everyone's problem if it goes wrong before "schedule."
