Even if all 4 meltdown (God forbid) it will STILL be a localized event. There is NO REASON to panic. There is no POINT in panicking. The site is going to have to be cleaned up, and those working at the plant will ahve to take measures to protect themselves while working there. But a National Panic in Japan is STUPID. Do some research on Nuclear power, nuclear radiation exposure, and also look at Nuclear Terrorism, because a LOT of research has been done with that point in mind. You will feel better.

Look at it this way, how many HUNDREDS of thousands of people die every year in Auto crashes? Are you going to outlaw or ban cars? Because they are FAR deadlier than Nuclear radiation is, yet we consider the hazards cars present as ACCEPTABLE. Think about it in context for a bit ok?

STOP buying into media or other fear increasing hype.

What panic? I think all of us are just trying to get information while trying to sort through the hundreds of messages telling us not to panic. Sheesh.

There is no point in panicking. But withholding or ignoring the truth for the good of the public will only make it worse.

I’m not anti-nuclear, but nobody knows exactly what affect previous accidents have actually had on the general population’s health, so I don’t really buy the “it’s perfectly safe, move along” mentality. I seem to recall many of the same people saying NOTHING bad was going to happen here.

The bigger deal here at this point is that new nuclear power is dead for the next 100-1000 years.

I agree...unfortunately there are many who just can’t let go of the hype of the media..it is addicting. You can’t even have a resonable imput on chat TV sites...almost as if people are high on this stuff.

It is always good to keep a cool head even if things actually do go south quickly. Acting in a panicked state increases your chances of making dumb decisions.

Someone also needs to tell teh fed govt to calm down, as they’ve just apparently cornered the market on KI pills.
