Perhaps the most underreported and deadliest aspect of the three explosions and numerous fires to hit the stricken Fukushima nuclear reactor since Saturday is the fact that highly radioactive spent fuel rods which are stored outside of the active nuclear rod containment facility are likely to have been massively compromised by the blasts, an elevation in the crisis that would represent “Chernobyl on steroids,” according to nuclear engineer Arnie Gundersen...

Second Massive Explosion At Fukushima

Reuters is reporting that "a fresh explosion at Japan's quake-stricken Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power complex on Monday is unlikely to have led to a large escape of radioactivity, the government said."

I find that very hard to believe. Either this all looks much worse then it is, or the world public is being deceived on a massive scale.

Can seemingly absurd claims that the reactor remains intact beneath this massive explosion be taken seriously?

This second explosion looks even worse then the first and seems to almost form a mushroom cloud. It's hard to believe that there aren't massive amounts of radiation being leaked here. However, we should search for expert opinions that would support this suspicion.
