EMERGENCY! report from TWITTER - Nuclear power plant - attempts to save plant STOPPED

Concerns of any kind of radioactive fall out coming over any area and what to do about it.
Here is some reports that give the pros and cons of using or taking Potassium Iodide.
Do the homework know what your doing, learn.

0411: Shaun Bernie, from lobby group Greenpeace, tells the BBC that using plutonium as fuel increases the risk that something could go wrong because plutonium-fuelled plants operate at a higher level. He also says plutonium is far more dangerous if it's released into the environment.

This guy is worried:

This might sound dumb, but what exactly does this mean? Doesn't sound good..

Thanks for your help,it seems that every supplier does not have expidited shipping so I am going to have find it locally if I can. Good for you for being prepared already!!

287 after shock tremors since the 8.9 hit Japan to date, ranging from 4.6 to 7.1, according to the USGS.

I've been sitting on RSOE all day monitoring the nuclear incident tab for changes. just noticed it has jumped up to full level with injuries, deaths and evac statistics.

RSEO- Nuclear event

170,000 evac.
15 injured
2 dead

Separately, company documents show that Tokyo Electric tested the Fukushima plant to withstand a maximum seismic jolt lower than Friday's 8.9 earthquake. Tepco's last safety test of nuclear power plant Number 1—one that is currently in danger of meltdown—was done at a seismic magnitude the company considered the highest possible, but in fact turned out to be lower than Friday's quake.

The company said in the documents that 7.9 was the highest magnitude for which they tested the safety for their No. 1 and No. 2 nuclear power plants in Fukushima.

Those have to be damaged beyond repair............

It was a 9.0

And I'm one that hates all the doomsayers and fear-mongerers... but here it goes...

Now is a good time to start educating yourselves for what would be the best way to react in the next couple of days in a worst case scenario. Not that it's gonna go worldwide (I certainly hope not) but it IS in the realm of possiblities... Always better to be prepared and healthy rather than sticking to the "oh-they're-jus-bein-paranoid" character of the movie and dead... And everyone will learn something and expand their knowledge, which by itself is always a good thing, even if in the end of the day the knowledge doesn't come in handy (HOPEFULLY .:: )

Jus' sayin'...

Japan's top spokesman says govt working under assumption that may have been partial melting in Fukushima reactor #3.

NOT GOOD. reactor 3 is full of plutonium and uranium

A bit different than the scenario but the nuclear and the fallout are good to know for the paranoids like me out there.

Cesium in the air = some kind of meltdown

Don't be scared.. be prepared.. seriously... I hope I am wrong, and I have to eat crow.. but im going off of ASAIN MSM REPORTS of meltdown .. linked below.. and now Michio Kaku AND BILL NYE THE SCIENCE GUY.. who they have brought on to discuss the "potential" meltdown, and the VERIFIED DETECTED CESIUM IN THE AIR... which means RODS HAVE MELTED!!!!

Below I have provided links to monitor the jet stream flow of the "radiation" cloud once it reaches altitude to move eastward towards the United states. below is the PROJECTED map making its way around the internet.. the only actual map I could find showing anything to expect. The reactor has blown .. radiation is detected, people have died and will get sick.. I don't know why CNN isn't reporting the meltdown that is being talked about via the below links over in Asia about 6 hours ago!!!

Links, links, and more links guys:
