I'm pretty sure this should go in at least one of the two open threads.

this might be better in one of the two open threads... I know they are starting to get big, especially the first one, but the post is not link rich enough to stand on it's own. imo

cheers and well wishes

'the likelihood of containment failure in this case is nearly 42%.'

Sorry, what?!

I'll read that again.

'the likelihood of containment failure in this case is nearly 42%.'

My eyes! The goggles do nothing.

I wasn't scared before. Now I am.

That's in the event of a core-melt accident mnfn, given that nobody knows (or is telling) how much melt has happened this reads like just more random guesswork based on no new evidence.

I appreciate that this is a scary situation, but this issue has been and is already being addressed in the other posts, particularly this one.
