When the Fukushima Meltdown Hits Groundwater

When the Fukushima Meltdown Hits Groundwater

The Fukushima disaster may take a new turn if it strikes groundwater. The concrete material being poured on it to cover the radioactive emission is of no use, because the nuclear reaction in the plant could not be stopped. The temperature in the reactor would melt the concrete and it would act like lava. The molten material may reach the groundwater table. If it happens there will be more violent explosion and this may be a nightmare beyond Chernobyl.
