I would not offer to take over any property in the area if there was the slightest chance of any danger, as I have to assume that the idiots who continue to pressure the power plant will ensure that every roadblock possible is placed before them in actually containing the danger.

The town is six miles away from the power plant. If it was a mile away, I would be slightly concerned.

Here’s the biggest hint: the design of the nuclear power plant had a minimal containment building. Nuclear engineers ALWAYS over engineer their plants. Everything worked EXACTLY as designed; the plant scrammed within 40 seconds of a major earthquake, halting the reaction process. It took a massive (not major) earthquake combined with a catastrophic tsunami to actually disable this plant. The petrochemical spill from the tsunami is more dangerous than that plant ever will be six miles away.

Should we start a Ping list about this problem?
