nuclear power plant stops leaking

After a long wait the contaminated water coming from the #2 reactor in japan has been finally plugged using a silica based (liquid glass). the crack was caused by the massive earthquake that hit japan almost a month ago. The radiation levels found in the water was 7.5 billion times the normal limit. as of yesterday the radiation was 5 times the normal limit. although the Japanese government has stopped a minor leak at the plant the real danger which is a meltdown of the core is still said to exist, although some statements say that this particular incident is no more likely to harm anyone than 3 mile island has ( http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/fact-sheets/3mile-isle.html). There is still no news on if the already contaminated water will affect us or other neighboring countries yet.
