Officially the worst nuke crisis since Chernobyl. I guess those light water reactors aren't infallible after all. 20-25 mile radius around the plant is now in danger. Reactor #4 is now on fire (although #4 successfully shut down after the quake, so I'm not sure if the fire will change anything). 400 millisieverts of radiation confirmed in the area, enough to potentially kill white blood cells or cause infertility. 1,000 mSv/h induces nausea. 2,000-5,000 causes death.
