Here is an english explanation of some of the news I'm hearing on NHK now about the explosion in Fukushima reactor.
There was an explosion about 2 hours ago. 4 workers were injured. They are saying the amount of radiation measured will expose a person to one year worth of natural radiation in one hour.
They have evacuated a 10 km radius from both reactor #1 and #2.
They are suggesting people in the area go inside, cover their skin in clothes, blankets, breathe through handkerchief and not pick and eat any fruit/vegetables growing outside.
There is still a lot of confusion about what is going on. Wind patterns currently show that wind will blow out towards sea for the next few days.
