Default Re: 8.9 earth quake + tsunami in Japan

The issue of background radiation levels and possible added exposure from the exposed cores situation is interesting. I come from central BC where certain communities have natural background radiation levels of over 8!


Thank god the japanese aren't 'looters'.

I can see this situation pummelling possible progressive and safe nuclear advancement and contrarily regress into oil price super inflation. It's 'good' the west is about to secure north african oil reserves.

Yoichi Shimatsu, former Japan Times editor, has some good points:
"The Unit 1 reactor container is not cracked despite the explosion that destroyed its building.

The explosion did not erupt out of the reactor.

So what caused the explosion that blasted away the reinforced concrete roof and walls? Silence.

Yes, there's nothing to worry about if residents just stay indoors, turn off their air-cons and don't breathe deeply. Everyone, go back to sleep.

The radiation leak at Fukushima No.1 nuclear plant is now officially designated as a "4" on the international nuclear-events scale of 7. This is the same criticality rating at an earlier minor accident at Tokaimura plant in Ibaraki. Technically, there is no comparison. Tokaimura did not experience a partial meltdown."
