Dr. Kaku is tops! He says it's more than just reactor #4. #2's reactor core melted down and liquified, something never seen before. #3 may be liquified, but robot microcircuitry gets fried by the radiation. Then there's the #3 spent fuel pool, filled with MOX rods. But the cumulutative affect of three to five out-of-control nuclear piles has never been contemplated.
