There are conflicting reports. The dismissal of workers if probably a bad sign but there is another story circulating that radioactive levels have been going down. Perhaps, there is not much that can still be done except to allow a meltdown and some short half life radioactivity into the air.
All Fukushima Daini units in cold shutdown 15 March 2011
This below synopsis says there will be no Chernobyl for a variety of reasons, that the energy being produced now, although hot enough to boil water, is only 3% of the energy produced by the plant while operating and is cooling. If there is a meltdown, claims the article, what is left to meltdown will form a puddle in a basin and gradually die out. The isotopes being released into the air are mostly of a very short lived variety.

I know this isn't the reporting we are seeing on CNN and perhaps the earthquake has done enough damage to container concrete that all bets are off. It is also a possible explanation for removing the remaining workers.
If true this is difficult to imagine. Have they abandoned ship letting what will burn to burn?? I'm watching Anderson Cooper just now kind of sputtering in disbelief and exchanging 'There must be some mistake' to the others.
If this is the case it must be a situation where the workers staying there will do no good and only result in their death.
