P!
What's that story about stupid people doing dumb things with hazardous materials again?
According to the anti-nuclear activists, this accident will make the area uninhabitable for 10,000 years. Of course, Hiroshima and Nagasaki are both bustling metropolises today. In fact, there were people living there throughout. And there are people living in Chernobyl as well.
When I watched it the dogs I saw looked healthy........
I have one of those geigers like that and if it was going off like at the beginning of the video even I’d be freaking out and they’re really far away from it and out in the middle of nowhere.
The contamination level is incredible.

Critics Claim Nuke Plants Not Ready For The End Of The World
Lawmakers and industry critics are urging regulators to demand answers from nuclear power plant licensees for how they would deal with cataclysmic events. They claim the plants could melt down and contaminate large areas under certain extreme scenarios.
“In any number of scenarios the nuclear industry is totally unprepared, such as the sun going supernova, a giant asteroid or comet impacting the earth, or an alien invasion. Let’s say for example, if a black hole swallows the earth. What safety systems will remain in place to prevent a meltdown? ”, said Edward DeGette, Democrat from California.
NRC documents obtained through freedom of information requests by the Union of Concerned Scientists indicate that plants have intentionally not prepared for situations that involve loss of offsite power due to planet-wide disasters. “In these situations, support from offsite would be very limited. Inadequate preparations for world-cataclysms could easily lead to multiple core meltdowns”, said Tom Vincent, Union of Concerned Scientists director. “Industry representatives claim that because these scenarios are so unlikely, important systems have not been installed to deal with them.”

Japanese police, Self-Defense Force troops and U.S. military started searching for bodies with the 10 km radius for the first time Thursday.
The fact that they are searching for bodies within the 10km radius is a good sign. It means both that these searchers don't have any more important tasks, and that they feel the risk of radiation is low enough to make it worthwhile to do what amounts to a clean-up operation looking for dead people.
