True, but I don't have to worry about smokers tainting Pacific Tuna stocks for the rest of my life.

Yup, I would start being more careful with Pacific fish, especially anything
that travels close to Japan.

I heard they are finding rads in fish caught off Aussie land.

Looks like #4 may be falling over.

3 cores at 100% meltdown and sea water saved the day. Even then the power corp was still saying they could save the cores.

Can't rely on any state government to release the truth anymore.
The Soviets taught us well.

Fukushima: It's much worse than you think
$1:
In the US, physician Janette Sherman MD and epidemiologist Joseph Mangano published an essay shedding light on a 35 per cent spike in infant mortality in northwest cities that occurred after the Fukushima meltdown, and may well be the result of fallout from the stricken nuclear plant.
The eight cities included in the report are San Jose, Berkeley, San Francisco, Sacramento, Santa Cruz, Portland, Seattle, and Boise, and the time frame of the report included the ten weeks immediately following the disaster.
"Unit four is the most dangerous, it could topple," he said. "After the earthquake in Sumatra there was an 8.6 [aftershock] about 90 days later, so we are not out of the woods yet. And you're at a point where, if that happens, there is no science for this, no one has ever imagined having hot nuclear fuel lying outside the fuel pool. They've not figured out how to cool units three and four."
Gundersen's assessment of solving this crisis is grim.
"Units one through three have nuclear waste on the floor, the melted core, that has plutonium in it, and that has to be removed from the environment for hundreds of thousands of years," he said. "Somehow, robotically, they will have to go in there and manage to put it in a container and store it for infinity, and that technology doesn't exist. Nobody knows how to pick up the molten core from the floor, there is no solution available now for picking that up from the floor."
35% spike in child deaths reported in the US?

Japan's Nuclear Emergency Response Headquarters finally admitted earlier this month that reactors 1, 2, and 3 at the Fukushima plant experienced full meltdowns.
Gee, nice of them to finally come out with it.

They went from 3 to 4.

I wonder if it now glows in the dark?
