Thank you for the link I gave up on CNN long ago, lol

www.ustream.tv... looking pretty grim on live feed right now but i have to say any other country would have given up by now and decended into full on chaos im still hoping for some kind of magical resoloution to the nuclear issue but i fear its in vain....

listing town names that are in danger now on above link towns/municiplaities


nutron radiation observed at the number 3 reactor the power guy is trying to explain it away as being normal....


he got asked a question then he got immediatly off the stage.....


there describing that the radiation leaked will make any one exposed to it sterile...... any one exposed will allready be sterile if exposed with out gear.....

they are saying, they have mistakenly given readings in microsieverts instead of millsieverts which is 1000X worse...
how can they mistake this? i have said to my people, since the first reading of 1000 microsievert, that this is impossible. which means the plant was at 8-SV, seems i was right.


en.wikipedia.org...

look at the charts... these remaing 50 people are heros, giving their lives to save us all.

I'll host a Japanese family at my house.

I say we let them come over here to the USA, till things clear up.

I would gladly replace a Japanese family at my house for years if needed.
I would have no problem with helping against some form of radiation,
which i think is the worst way to go.

Same here I have spare rooms and my daughter speaks Japanese. Lots of Japanese live here in Las Vegas for support as well/ We are used to large Japanese tour groups here


Fire now in #4 plant

Total evacuation within 20 km and stay indoors from 20-30

I'd rather stay in megaquaked-tsunami'd-irradiated Japan. It's safer.

PLS dont cite ZH

www.nytimes.com...

A 1997 study by the Brookhaven National Laboratory on Long Island described a worst-case disaster from uncovered spent fuel in a reactor cooling pool. It estimated 100 quick deaths would occur within a range of 500 miles and 138,000 eventual deaths.

The study also found that land over 2,170 miles would be contaminated and damages would hit $546 billion.

And they have 20 years worth of spent fuel at the nuclear plant.

Never mind, i have the nikkei indicated at -1000 points @8328...i think trading is halted as i can't get a good bid :/

(Reuters) - Nikkei futures traded in Osaka tumbled more than 16 pecrcent at one point after Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan said radiation levels had become high around a quake-stricken nuclear power plant, as the country's nuclear crisis appeared to escalate.

Reuters

Wow...25% of market value shaved off in 2 days...economic, environmental, and human disaster all rolled into one
