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. | ||

I know power outages are really rare in Japan, but damn... that's a lot of faith to put on your power lines. | ||

They reported bringing in agrogates (100 % miss-spelled). So they have electricity for the pumps. Since the main nuclear reaction is no longer active it's just a matter of time before no more heat is generated. The longer this goes on the better it gets. | ||

We have BBC saying 1202: Government spokesman says the nuclear reactor container at the Fukushima-Daiichi plant has not been damaged, and the level of radiation has dropped following the explosion earlier on Saturday, AFP reports. | ||

These kind of things probably happen in every country every time there is a prolonged outage. | ||

Most of their reporting at the moment is clearly motivated by political issues. | ||

Keep it civil. The Spiegel article is a "Eilmeldung", i.e. they're updating as fast as possible while just mentioning the development in the title. I seriously hope german media is informed badly and there's not a meltdown happening. | ||

I seriously hope german media is informed badly and there's not a meltdown happening. Seriously. The Spiegel title is "GAU has happened: Japanese Nuclear Plant meltdown". 2 headlines further down you have an article about the political reactions and how the opposition demands changes in our nuclear policy because of the incident. Those are obviously related and not a political conspiracy. There will always be a political bias in media regarding nuclear power, even more here in Germany than in other countries. But that is no reason for them to report deliberately wrong and misleading information. | ||
