So I tried again, nothing changed. Any ideas?

It's working now. Though when it went down a pretty big earthquake had just hit off the coast of Japan.

It's just a server thing. Hope the earthquake wasn't too serious.

It was pretty goddamn terrible, by the looks of it. Tsunami is currently steamrolling everything.
From what I can tell, one of their reactors is experiencing issues. I heard both a controlled leak and a possible meltdown. I've studied the Chernobyl disaster, and although I truly doubt anything to that magnitude, I'm worried if there is extensive radiation leakage and how long it will take
According to my ARC chapter, there is damage in North California related to the quake.
There is Tsunami warning for the West Coast, but to my knowledge, a large hit isn't expected.
From my current understanding it is a controlled release of irradiated steam to reduce pressure levels from building within the reactor. It is increasing the amount of radiation in the area by 1000 times normal levels, but apparently that is still so low that it isn't dangerous to your health.
Edit: Apparently due to the quake the power to the nuclear plant was cut. This meant their equipment had to switch to backup generators to keep running their equipment, but apparently those generators were flooded and inoperable. The power maintaining the cooling and control systems of the plant thus had to fall back on their battery back up power source. It hasn't been revealed how long battery power can maintain their systems.

The chief problem with the reactors is that the power plants don't have power to themselves to run the pumps to circulate their reactor coolant. The backup diesel generators and battery supplies that would normally take over in this situation have been exhausted or destroyed by the tsunami or fire.
Right now they are venting irradiated steam to reduce pressure in the coolant system, but if they can't get the systems themselves circulating they will have greater concerns as the coolant runs dry and reactor temperature increases. As I understand it, the US has sent a team to help the plant operators, though it's sort of hazy exactly what is going on at this point.
Apparently they're having problems in 5 reactors at 2 different plants now. These initial problems were being reported about one of the reactors at the TEPCO Fukushima Daiichi plant (a 6 reactor plant). Apparently they're reporting now a loss of cooling ability of a second reactor at the site, and a loss of cooling of 3 reactors at the nearby Fukushima Daini plant.
Supposedly a few power generators have been brought to the Fukushima Daiichi plant, and several more are being airlifted there. Right now the first reactor there is reaching pressures 2 times normal levels, and the radiation levels in the control room are 1000 times normal level, with apparently outside levels being 8 times normal level.

Eight hours according to the wiki.
