edit: they prepared the iodine tablets two days ago. They also evacuated a 20km radius. It's called "preparing for the worst", not "the worst is happening at this very moment". <---- sensationalism.
I don't claim to know all. Nor do I need to write off others' superior knowledge as "opinion", "sensationalism", "conjecture", what have you, to assuage any insecurity at one's own intellect or understanding.
I know what has been made publicly available and that is all I have made reference to in my reasoning.
There were two evacuations - not one. They initially evacuated a small radius, then a second larger one, and the situation is still not under control.
The only reason to prepare for the worst is the belief it is a possibility. The "worst" in this case would be a containment rupture, something that would require either the vessel to have been compromised or for a meltdown to be in progress.
People like to diss my reading of the BBC, but
it's actually very informative.

Joklem, the ignore feature is fantastic for ignoring idiots.

"Idiot" is Internet for "someone who consistently causes me to question my inflated estimate of my own intelligence".
I don't pretend to know all, but I don't call people idiots just because they point out errors in my reasoning.
