 Here's an early morning shout out to DUer nadinbrzezinski
You were correct one year ago 
Fukushima reactor shows radiation levels much higher than thought
Damage from disaster so severe that clean-up expected to take decades, according to latest examination of nuclear plant

<snip>
One of Japan's crippled nuclear reactors still has fatally high radiation levels and much less water to cool it than officials estimated, according to an internal examination that renews doubts about the plant's stability.

A tool equipped with a tiny video camera, a thermometer, a dosimeter and a water gauge was used to assess damage inside the number two reactor's containment chamber for the second time since the tsunami swept into the Fukushima Daiichi plant, a year ago.

The data shows the damage from the disaster is so severe the plant operator will have to develop special equipment and technology to tolerate the harsh environment, and decommission the plant. The process is expected to last decades.

The other two reactors that had meltdowns could be in even worse shape. The number two reactor is the only one officials have been able to closely examine so far.

Tuesday's examination, with an industrial endoscope, detected radiation levels up to 10 times the fatal dose inside the chamber.

Thanks to the all-knowing, never wrong Nadin, I now know...
-there are "51 states"
-there are "60 cm in a meter"
-"American is a language"
-soldiers who go on "sooper duper" secret missions to Syria, let everyone know about it on Facebook
-you can hold memorials for people you say are dead even if they are really alive
-the upcoming reboot of SPIDERMAN is a trend that points to the upcoming collapse of civilization
-"climactic change" is real

but most of all, the author of one of the greatest threads ever that every DUer should have bookmarked

That really would be a "chew it off" moment.

Both of those traits are debatable.
