Title: Independent panel: Tokyo evacuation considered
Source: NHK
Date: Monday, February 27, 2012 19:06 +0900 (JST)
A report by an independent panel shows that some cabinet members were bracing for the possible evacuation of Tokyo after the Fukushima nuclear accident.The 6-member panel of experts is due to issue a report on Tuesday based on interviews with 300 Japanese and US government officials and others about their responses to the accident on March 11th of last year. [...]
Former Chief of Fukushima Daiichi Masao Yoshida
The report says the chief of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant informed the government 3 days after the accident that the nuclear fuel rods could melt down because of cooling system failures.The information was reportedly sent to cabinet members and nuclear experts.
Worst-case Scenario?
Economy minister Yukio Edano said that in a worst-case scenario, if the fuel rods continued to be exposed to the air, large doses of radioactive materials would be released and would prevent workers from entering the reactor buildings.
Fukushima Daiini
Edano said he feared that problems could also occur in another nuclear plant in Fukushima, and that Tokyo might have to be evacuated.

It's important to remember that this report is made long after the fact, and is based on interviews. It is not a release of minutes from the actual discussions. Earlier reports say that no such minutes were kept!
Report Comment
It's "seconds",
not "minutes",
of those hours dire,
asking how much worse
could be this nuke fire
before we embark
on Mission Impossible,
figuring out
who to save
and who is tossable,
best such ideas park
in a file unoffical
and leave those exposed
informationally dark,
keeping no record
of use prejudicial
to our defense,
just in case Fukushima
bats us over the fence
and out of the park.

Which fuel rods was Chief Yoshida referring to – reactor or fuel pool?
Maybe the full report will say, if it's released.

EDIT: make that "reactorS" and "fuel poolS" plural.

Perhaps a neuronuclear mutation happened somewhere along the way that has evolved into an entirely new contagious mutant lobotomopathogenic life form. Lobotomy is probably how this lobotomoradionuclidic organism protects itself??

Spectrometising, you may be right:
auto-lobotic-neuro-nuclidism is
anti-erotic-nucleo-nudism -
the facts are bare,
why can't they see,
self-extincting they are
along with you and me,
is it infectious
blissful unknowing
or anti-humanic
don't panic dividing
in brain cells aglow
from radionuclides abiding?
Oh hell, take the
muto-paths
out to the shed
and come back alone
leaving them…
locked up.
