Tensions are rising in Japan over radioactive water leaking into the Pacific Ocean from Japan's crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, a breach that has defied the plant operator's effort to gain control.

Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on Wednesday called the matter “an urgent issue” and ordered the government to step in and help in the clean-up, following an admission by Tokyo Electric Power Company that water is seeping past an underground barrier it attempted to create in the soil. The head of a Nuclear Regulatory Authority task force told Reuters the situation was an "emergency."

Thanks for posting. IMO, related to heating of the oceans from geothermal activity increasing instead of radiation from Fukushima - at least for now. These northern cold water fish are very susceptible to these changes, as are the smaller fish they feed on.

There were a number of large quakes underneath the volcano prior to this large eruption. Record number of eruptions for this year as well as last. For every one, there are many, many more marine volcanoes erupting.

I've also thought about Japan's economy crashing and creating a domino effect.

Could be the reason for NASDAQ, and now NYSE, problems today! It would also explain, perhaps, the big meeting between 0bama and the major financial movers and shakers.

I predict a battle royal now between government and the money changers!

I think you are correct. Sigh.
