I guess that is Japan's Chernobyl or Three Mile Island, take your pick.

Supposedly, it was 1 gallon of low radioactivity water, and it has already run into the ocean. Not exactly a disaster, unless...

A nuclear plant over a seismic overactive zone is like a disaster waiting to happen.

Japan is so small and so densely populated that they don't have a choice. Nuclear fission is the only feasible method of generating large-scale electricity there. This release was minor.

Good afternoon there bunny girl! As soon as I saw Godzilla's picture I thought of you! Wait, that didn't sound right! :lol: I just meant that I know how much you love him too! :wink:

I hope that Japan is being truthful and transparent regarding this matter, it would be really awful to find out later that we had a real environmental crisis to deal with.

I just know that I won't be eating any sushi that has a strange glow to it!! :lol: :lol:

Japan, as a free nation, has no incentive to cover up damage to this reactor. In fact, I'd wager they're significantly more environmentally conscious than we are in the USA, and thus would be less likely to cover up something like that than we would.

Have you heard of the Minamata disaster?
