Any thoughts on the status of this "emergency"?
The news information is a bit confusing.

For example, they say unit 1 is operating normally. ;-)

Any experts here care to help fill in the blanks? Sounds like a big ammonia leak.

Edit: No radiological leak and no danger to public outside the plant.
