Great post!
I particularly agree with Question 1. I'm getting just sick of people parroting what is in the media (containment intact) alongside people who claim to work in the nuclear industry saying the primary containment ins intact, whilst pouring water on top of these to cool the reactors.
They must think a lot of people are idiots. To cool the reactor requires water touching the fuel rods. As you point out in your response it can't do this if it is intact.
I posted a link in another thread that showed a shot of #3, shortly after it exploded, from the side. The primary containment (that I think everyone agrees is quite large and extends to the top of the building) is *NOT* visible.
I don't care what people *SAY* - words lie. The picture was as clear as day. It is gone.

Sure they are saying in part it's because the corporation that owns the plant is running the show

Aaagghh! Therein lies the problem. This is such a screwed up way of handling a regional or global crisis. The corporation's main interest is to limit loss of profit and limit liability. They're interests are not our interests.
Ya know what!? When the environment and people became jeopardized, in my mind, it becomes a matter for investigation. When they lost control, they forfeited their right to handle the situation. They had their chance. Where in the law does it say that a criminal gets to control or clean up the crime scene?
This unfolding nuclear disaster is likely a direct result of corporations controlling politicians, public policy and the media with money.
They don't deny a breach of containment. The biggest concern would be if a partial meltdown turns into a complete meltdown,then there would be much larger releases.

#1: How can they say there is no serious breach of containment at the plants?
Clearly the containment vessels are compromised otherwise pouring water on them would be an utter waste of time.
Their first priority is to get the excess fission under control. They can plan to do all kinds of things after that.
#2: They plan to restore power to the cooling systems by running outside lines to the main plant junctions?
There's no reason to believe anyone would die that quickly. Even at Chernobyl it took some time for the fatally exposed workers to die.
#3: They should be called heroes as they may ultimately have to sacrifice their lives?
Were the 50 workers evacuated when radiation levels became too high 48 hours ago, evacuated alive?
We have sensitive measuring instruments, we can measure levels of radiation that can be considered minimal or insignificant.
#4: If no significant radiation has been released why is even the New York Times now reporting Radio Active Clouds that pose minimal health hazards will reach the California Coast by tomorrow?
#5: Clearly these plants are beyond repair, why aren’t they actively entombing them?

Michio Kaku was just on TV and he says, "We have fifty workers handling potential meltdowns at four reactors, let's get real!"
Ya think!? Maybe today's the day we'll get something going on this.

S&F for you sir.
I have been questioning what we heard in the media since they started talking about using helicopters to cool them. I feel like there is a mass cover up that is on going just so the Japanese government can save face. But like someone else said, it seems like the company is running the show, so I wouldn't be surprised if the corporation is just trying to save face. It makes me so frustrated when they try to act like we are all sheeple.
