So far supposedly it's only iodine 131, which is less nasty than, say, burning
plutonium, but very serious. 1/10th the amount released from Chernobyl, but
that was the core vaporizing, so there was lots more heavy stuff than iodine.
I don't remember what the daughter products of decay are,

Good point about the Strontium 90. That stuff is wicked. Why isn't it
being mentioned, or is Sr90 solely a byproduct of nuclear testing?

Potasium chloride salt-substitute will also set the counter off. Get enough

If it doesn’t find a long term solution to the large quantities of
highly radioactive water flowing out of the reactors, the scale of the
disaster could end up exceeding
I highly doubt that. All they need to do is stop the flow of water
after the decay heat has died down a bit more, pump in some borated
concrete or some other nice neutron poison, and call it entombed.
it'll still be an ugly scar on the face of the earth, but far from an
