Before earthquake: Freepers: “Reuters is the worst. Unreliable. Liberal. Liars”
After earthquake: Freepers: “Did you see what Reuters just released? This is important!!!”

When you vent the reactor (which they’ve been doing for the past couple of days), some radioactive isotopes are vented as well. IOW - directly into the atmosphere.
The actual source of the information (IAEA), FROM 7 HOURS AGO, states the following: “a 400 millisieverts (mSv) per hour radiation dose observed at Fukushima Daiichi occurred between Units 3 and 4. This is a high dose-level value, but it is a local value at a single location and at a certain point in time.”
Furthermore, the Reuters article states: “that the spent fuel storage pond at the Unit 4 reactor of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant is on fire and radioactivity is being released directly into the atmosphere.”
That fire was extinguished 7 hours ago.
Reuters repackages old news under a new title and Freepers consider it reliable.
That’s what I’m talking about there are A LOT of mixed messages here. It’s kind of hard to figure out if we are over reacting or not.
It just seems to me that the pro nuclear energy people are saying a little too soon that everything is safe and okay. Just for the record I’m pro nuclear energy, but I do understand it can be dangerous. What has happen to Japan will not change my view on the use of nuclear energy. I just want to know the truth of what is going on. I have hard time trusting any government is telling the truth since they lie so much. When the government keeps changing their story line... I don’t know who to believe? Like I said before time will tell.
