So, the reactor core has been melting (without proper cooling). They will try to cool it by large amount of water and completely shut down the process by packs of bromic acid.
As a result they can get huge clouds of radioactive vapor......

It seems they are planning to use sea water as coolant. and good news we are having now is that the level of radioactive is going down from 1015 sievert/ hour to 90 or something like that.

Yes, but radioactive vapor will continue to evaporate out untill the melting procees inside core will be stopped.

I am talking on-line to skilled people now. They say that large amount of water mixing with bromic acid will stop melting and cool overheated core of reactor. It will take some time. Negative consequences include mentioned radioactive vapor, poisonous chlorine gas and hygrogen gas ( if they use sea water to pump into reactor) that can explode once again....
