Nuclear power is pure insanity. The media does not cover what is going on because they are owned by the same companies that built, operate, or own these plants. There is a lot of information on the internet about what is still going on. They are finding lots of radiation everywhere in Japan. Very dangerous food is being consumed before it is discovered to be dangerous. Soil, sea, and forests are contaminated. Even sewage is contaminated. And new building supplies. The powers to be do the best they can to cover it all up.
Now this is just from one plant. And mind you such a disaster could happen at any plant, and quite possibly at more than one plant at once anywhere in the world.
Think of a natural disaster such as a meteor or super volcano. And imagine what would happen at these plants in the aftermath. Or imagine a war destroying the infrastructure needed to keep these plants from going boom. Remember that you can’t just shut these things down and walk away. They have to be cooled for a long time before you can even remove the fuel. So even if you loose power for an extended time, or you loose personnel. If you can’t keep the whole ball of wax going for any reason then these things go boom. And this does not even include direct attacks on a plant. Just insanity.
Most of the area of Koriyama is contaminated as mandatory evacuating zone in Chernobyl
