Oh the joys of living in Tohoku these days. But the family is fine, no major damage, a few old people didn't make it though, oxygen machine didn't work, a big dresser crushed an old lady. Sad stuff.

We still don't know where this is going.
Typhoon wrote:Well, at this point the probability of another Chernobyl decreases, rather than increases, over time.
Yokohammer wrote:I have to disagree with this.
The longer it takes, the more contamination is spread around.
In the beginning it was "this isn't even as bad as Three Mile Island." It is now.
We have now well a and truly exceeded Three Mile Island contamination levels.
Chernobyl is just a matter of time.
The problem is cumulative, not explosive.

There will be issues with food, but unlike the USSR the Japanese are checking. The fact we know about the problems is a plus, the health issues following Chernobyl were caused by people being unaware.
Even the Brit Embassy has relaxed.

A 40 year old reactor, initially scheduled for decommissioning this year, was hit with such an event and did not turn into a second Chernobyl or worse.
