New York Times: "Japanese Operator says it will Scrap Four Reactors at Plant"

Deutsche Welle: "Tepco may be able to keep two reactors running"

Mathematicians may prefer to calculate how many of the six reactors are how far up shit creek and express this as a percentage, or a probability, or something else beginning with P. Possibly a pie chart.
