One is in melt down probably and 4 more are in emergency mode....no there is a huge problem having nuke plants in an earthquake zone.
journalist observation
MSNBC / CNN have their known American anchors and both have a damned English anchor side by side ( BBC etc) and both mention UN responses not American responses but dammit
FOX does the exact thing
what in hell can an English anchor add that our news sources don’t equally know
bastards
There really isn’t a place on earth that isn’t a potential hazard of some sort. The fact that the island moved 8 feet tells us that this big ball of rock we’re sitting on isn’t quite so stable after all. We also have big balls of rock and ice hurtling through space and some hit the earth.
Build them in space or suspended in the ocean?
Japan has 55 reactors. I still say that they have performed admirably after an 8.9 earthquake.
Don't be alarmist. This is ONE problem after the 7th largest quake on record and a massive tsunami caused failure of all 16 diesel powered backup generators. Japan has 55 operating nuclear reactors with more under construction.
Fewer will die or be injured from this accident than the quake, tsunami or in the morning commute. Try to keep some perspective here.
