Re: Fukushima I nuclear accidents
I may be overreacting but to me, the Fukushima situation is really the only news story in the world worth paying attention to. Ordinarily starting a war in Libya would command my attention but with plutonium appearing in the ground at Fukushima, with reactors still not under control, with radioactive water, and God only knows what else, paying attention to Libya or to terrorism or even to the economy is like rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. I don't have a clue what a reasonable solution would be. Maybe like the Russians at Chernobyl, just bury the things under mountains of concrete and boron. Tokyo Electric seems to have blown off warnings from geologists about the potential for big earthquakes and tsunamis, they admit to having built the plant in an area too susceptible to tsunamis. Oh well, who ever could have foreseen a 9.0 earthquake right offshore. Again I may be overreacting but I fear what this disaster could mean for the human race.
