15 March 2011, 02:35 UTC: … Units 1, 2 and 3 of the Fukushima Daini nuclear power plant are in cold shutdown … are considered to be safely under control. [ good news] ….. working to restore cooling in the reactor Unit 4 and bring it to cold shutdown [ ?? wasn't 4 off already?]
15 March 2011, 05:15 UTC: …. informed the IAEA that there has been an explosion at the Unit 2 reactor.. .at around 06:20 on 15 March local Japan time. [ which is before 15 March 2011, 02:35 UTC] …the spent fuel storage pond at the Unit 4 reactor of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant is on fire …. [leave it to the nuclear engineers to catch a pond on fire...]

So to summarize;
We have a steam explosion in Unit #4 Daichi
This would then lead to melt down of fuel, possible melt through and loss of corium outside of building, unless otherwise confirmed to still be in containment with video or photo evidence…. Loss of ??? tons of nuclear fuel.. 65 plus?
We have a loss of cooling water and melt down of fuel plus fire in spent fuel pool #4, at ?? tons total
What is left now?

Explosion at reactor #4.. I would assume they mean Daichi, not Daini

The timetable looks correct for Daini’s crisis, I figure it’s correct, not a typo.

If you read the text in the bottom of the email it says daiichi. I wouldn’t be surprised if the iaea effed that up too. It’s not like they actually care. Jasko seems to be coming to from what I’ve been reading as of late. That’s nrc of course. Kind of a breath of fresh air though.
