english summary
the major problem is if the release of radioactive materials is still going on and if yes , how much. today 's yomiuri reported an interesting graph on the relashionship between the time of water spray and the radiation doze rate .
it shows that the overall trend of the radiation rate seems to follow the decay curve of iodine131, which means that the i131 was released at one of the explosive phenomena and it had not been released so much thereafter.
the abrupt increases in the doze rate had seemed surpressed by water injection on the spent- fuel .
if this is the case , the first crisis might have been over. then the current problem might have shifted to how to keep the spentfuel under control to surpress the release, even if relatively small, from it. perhaps it is still hard to keep pouring water for a long span of time.
apart from the spent- fuel problem, the reactors are still going through a thermal tightrope situation, barely maintain the balance of cooling and generation of the heat .
it seems, however, that the problem is being better defined at least.
