Japan nuclear crisis. Radiation continues to be released, but at low levels.

All the details keep coming in little by little, but what experts said weeks ago , seems to be true.  That is, the radiation will continue to spread into the environment, at low levels, unless some people are willing to sacrifice their own lives to end the crisis.  The equipment is broken and as it stands the buildings are much too dangerous to work in, to effect repairs.  That leaves continuing to pour in water to prevent fires and melting.  That in itself, spreads radiation as well.

Perhaps robots could do the work, if not, only workers willing to be exposed to intense radiation could control and contain the radioactivity.

The best experts may yet devise a way to make things stable.  But, it is not another Chernobyl, nor will it ever become one, it is just not a similar setup to begin with.  The disruption of so many lives perhaps, is the worst aspect, even if health effects or fatalities are little or none.
