I’m not so worried about the radiation. It should dissipate. What bothers me more is that gut feeling that reminds me of the same feeling we all had after 9/11.

There is no question that the leftists/greenies/Obots will try to exploit this situation to further their agenda of destroying our economy by creating an artificial shortage of energy. Even if every one of the reactors in the plant melts down there still would be no credible threat to the West Coast. Lefties know that people freak out about radiation.

I think the dangerous one is reactor #3. It partially uses plutonium for fuel. Plutonium does not decay quickly and is lethal in very small amounts. If one of the other reactors breaks containment, it will be very difficult to keep personal present to maintain the containment of the other reactors, in particular, reactor #3.
