the best and worst cases
Ultimate impact of damage to Japan nuclear reactors still unknown
By Brian Vastag
Monday, March 14, 2011
The detection of the highly radioactive elements cesium-137 and iodine-131 outside the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant heralds the beginning of an ecological and human tragedy. The open question is whether it will be limited, serious or catastrophic.
The two radioactive isotopes can mean only one thing: Two or more of the reactor cores are badly damaged and at least partially melted down.
In the best case, operators will pump enough seawater and other coolants into the stricken reactor cores to squelch overheating. Such a success would prevent further releases of radiation beyond the unknown amount spewed into the air by controlled venting and the explosion of reactor containment buildings Saturday and Monday.
In such a hoped-for scenario, the only casualties would probably be the handful of plant workers reported Sunday to be suffering from acute radiation sickness. But there's also the immense anxiety triggered by the incident and the toll of the subsequent evacuation on nearby residents.
The consequences of the most dire scenarios are much harder to estimate. They include the loss of the facility, an expensive local cleanup - a foregone conclusion - and a wide-scale disaster that renders the countryside around the plant uninhabitable for decades.
