I just hope the situation improves. Very troubling atm. :crazy_diz
The rescue team have left facility and now its a touch and go….nobody really knows whats next…
I’m seeing reports that say Tokyo is being evacuated. A fire has broken out in a 4th reactor as well. It’s quite bad as well. I fear this situation is spiralling out of control.

gives you an idea of what to expect if this situation keeps getting worse. 🙁
my heart goes out to all in Tokyo, and affected cities and towns X
Also this current issue shows us why Nuclear energy is not the answer for our long term energy needs. It’s far too risky should things go wrong. Granted it gives us the occasional superhero from time to time but their powers are usually shit. Not worth it imo. :hopeless:
not at all, i hate nuclear power with a passion, it kills everything and then you have to wait something like 1000 years for all the radiation and charged particles to dissipate, solar, water and lightning energy are the way.
if as a species we sat and thought ‘right, lets harness the 1.5b volts of electricity in lightning’ think how much more cost effective that would be
Just look at Chernobyl mate. that place has been abandoned since 1986. :crazy_diz
sickening really
Miljøstiftelsen Bellona – forside – Bellona is a respected independent site about nuclear info and its risks. depending on what page comes up everyone here (apart from !sinner69!, and pcynopodia) might have to click the bit with the UK flag to get the English version.
or Bellona Foundation – Bellona seems to go to the English version directly…
Just out of curiously, does anyone know what is a unsafe radiation reading?

It’s on 18.24 cpm at the moment. Is this normal?
This was nuclear-reactor once and its still out of control;
