Thread is about the various issues surrounding Japan in the aftermath of the recent earthquake. Don't bring the shit side of the internet to the thread, and post with the realization that this thread is very important, and very real, to your fellow members. Do not post speculative and unconfirmed news you saw on TV or anywhere else. Generally the more dramatic it sounds the less likely it's true. | ||

#2 Reactor evacuation radius widened to 10km. Government and Tokyo Power are preparing for the worst. Asking people to stay calm, be prepared for more quakes and tsunamis, stay in safe places, check houses. If you're volunteering please think carefully about entering the affected areas. Edit: A lot of fallacious and malicious chain mails going around causing fear and confusion. Press helicopters are causing too much noise; please stop. | ||

Q: What is the "worst" that you speak of? A: We're doing our best; we'll let you know. Q: Will 10km be enough when the "worst" happens? A: It's currently 10km, and we want for people to stay at least 10km. Can't currently comment on that further at this point. | ||

The BBC's Nick Ravenscroft was on his way towards Fukushima, but about 60km from the plant was stopped by the police and told it was too dangerous to proceed. He says there is lots of traffic coming in the other direction. Authorities in vehicles with sirens are making public announcements to the crowds. Sounds like they are expanding the perimiter out further to 60km | ||

Yeah nuclear energy is such long term thought out process since theres still no solution what to do with the waste. My point is Japan build 55 nuclear plant knowing of the danger of quakes by the way just google Kurihara Nuclear Power Plant it got damaged in 2008 by a ~7 earth quake too. leaking radioactive material And Oil Drilling caused a massive leak just recently--does that mean that using that is unsafe too? Welp, guess I'm walking to work tomorrow. Nuclear Power is incredibly safe, reliable and quite efficient. The place just got slammed by a massive earthquake _and_ a tsunami. It's amazing it's in as good of shape as it is. | ||

Perhaps a presumptuous interpretation on my part, I just thought that if police are stopping vehicles from approaching from around 60km out that they are expanding things. There's probably a distinction between the actual 10KM evacuation perimiter and warning people off from entering the area from further out though. | ||

5:30pm Footage on Japanese TV show that the walls of one building at the Fukushima Daiichi plant have crumbled, after reports of a blast. It was not clear if the damaged building housed the reactor which officials fear is facing a possible meltdown. | ||
