My wife's brother is married to a Japanese. They're doing fine in Hiroshima.

Another one of 6,7, on the other side of the island. Avalanche & landslide.  It's 2012 all over again.  Wait, I mean, in advance.

Apparently there's quite the risk of a nuclear meltdown developing at a power plant...

I'm think that's just a case of over-the-top special effects... :unsure:

Apparently three nuclear reactors are in trouble, with thousands evacuated. I don't suppose this will help the cause of nuclear power much. Story: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/42025882/ns/world_news-asia-pacific/?GT1=43001

Did they get the specs from the Soviets or something?

We can hope.
They should be able to fix the plants without anything major happening. Then perhaps nuclear proponents can say 'see! it even goes through a huge earthquake and stays safe!'


I've read elsewhere this '1000 times the normal level' stuff is the media selectively using facts to try and scare people. 1000 times 0.00(...)01 is still well under the safe limit.

We need the Brain to give us the facts!
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: I see.

Instead of nuclear they should have bought clean Wyoming coal.
