2027: Japan's Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency has said it is also concerned about the spent fuel storage pool inside the building housing reactor 3 at Fukushima Daiichi. The pools at both reactors 3 and 4 are reportedly boiling - there may not even be any water left in reactor 4's pool - and unless the spent fuel rods are cooled down, they could emit large quantities radiation. Radioactive steam was earlier said to be coming from reactor 3's pool. If cooling operations did not proceed well, the situation would "reach a critical stage in a couple of days", an agency official told the Kyodo news agency.

2031: Yumi from London writes: "It appears the Japanese press have not been reporting all the information that has been made available to the rest of the world. Having contacted family in Tokyo, Ibaragi and Tochigi; asking them to come and stay in London - they told us that Japan was completely safe, that radiation levels were lower than those produced by an X-ray. It appears the vast majority of people in Tokyo are oblivious to the "mass exodus" and say the running of public transport and open businesses are proof that everything is normal. My only hope is that the Japanese government become a little more candid so that those with an option to leave Japan can do so soon." Have Your Say

2035: US officials have concluded that the Japanese warnings have been insufficient, and that, deliberately or not, they have understated the potential threat of what is taking place inside the nuclear facility, according to the New York Times. Gregory Jaczko, the chairman of the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission, earlier said he believed that all the water in the spent fuel pool at reactor 4 had boiled dry, leaving fuel rods stored there exposed. "We believe that radiation levels are extremely high, which could possibly impact the ability to take corrective measures," he told a Congressional committee.
