May photos by Daisuke Tsuda show latest images of devastation at Fukushima Daiichi 

May 2011 photos, posted June 12th by Lucas Whitefield Hixson, by Japanese photographer Daisuke Tsuda show what the reactor units and surrounding facilities look like after the triple assault of earthquake and tsunami on March 11th, followed by nuclear catastrophe for the past three months. Note how Unit 3's secondary containment reactor building is largely rubble-ized, at least on the upper floors, where, for one thing, the high-level radioactive waste storage pool is (was?!) located. Note also how Unit 4's entire secondary containment reactor building -- especially at the top -- is leaning, risking complete loss of the high-level radioactive waste storage pool if the building actually collapses.
