Will they evacuate Fukushima? I
didn't see that in the reports. What
a nightmare.
If not, then how much worse could it get?

There is some really bad blood between the Japanese and the Chinese (yes still). It would be a really big step in character for the Chinese govt to let them stay.
TEPCO was able to place monitoring equipment directly inside the reactor for the first time since last year's accident.
A dosimeter lowered into the containment vessel of the No.2 reactor registered 72.9 sieverts, or 72,900 millisieverts per hour at maximum -- a level where a human is certain to die within about 7 minutes of exposure.
The utility hopes to determine the state of the vessels as it moves to decommission the reactors.
It says radiation levels increased as the dosimeter was lowered inside the reactor

The only thing I can suggest to them is build cloud-busters, aim it at the reactor, and wait. No need for evacuation, only action

This scenario has two outcomes, it goes very bad or it goes ELE bad imho. All we can do is wait and see.
