Wednesday morning headlines include these headlines with regard to Japan - Report # V

The four reactors in danger of some level of "meltdown" are located at the same geo-location. It was reported this morning, on FOX, that all of the reactors in Japan (some 56 reators) have or will be shut down for inspections. The official death toll is 3,800 but it is generally admitted that the actual count will exceed 10,000. Four trains remain missing, whole towns have been swept away and those killed while in their cars have not been counted. Japan had a financial collapse nearly two decades ago, a crisis from which it had not fully recovered. It's stock market has lost nearly 25% of its value.

There are new reports that US forces, helping in Japan, have been ordered to stand clear of the reactors in danger, retreating some 50 miles from these nuclear sites.

The nation is quickly running out of fuel and energy.
