TEPCO to Scrap Saran Wrap Plan, Will Again Attempt Concrete Fukushima Entombment

Sketch of Concrete Covering for Reactor No. 2

Two months after announcing that they would treat nuclear melt-throughs like last night's leftover lasagna by saran wrapping the complex, TEPCO has reversed course, and has decided to make another attempt at a concrete entombment for the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear complex. 
Oh wait. Nope, they're going ahead with the saran wrap plan while admitting a concrete sarcophagus while obviously needed, will not be constructed for several years. 
Great work guys.  Good luck with that.

A similar concrete sarcophagus was built over the remains of the reactors at the Chernobyl power plant after that facility was destroyed in an accident in April 1986.

Tokyo Electric Power Co. will start the construction of a rigid steel frame over the No. 1 reactor on June 27, Yoshikazu Nagai, a spokesman for the company, said.
Eventually, Tepco plans to erect a concrete structure around the reactors, although it admits that will take several years to achieve.
Company officials admit they are not sure how effective the temporary cover may be in limiting emissions of radiation from the reactors and spent fuel pools, but it will at least prevent more rainwater entering the buildings and becoming contaminated with radiation, they said.
