For all its "invisible death" connotations, the risks of radiation are massively overestimated. Even if this indeed was to happen, any risks from the cloud by the time it would reach the States would be neglectable simply due to gradual dilution. If anything, the prevailing winds at the moment are a massively fortunate circumstance; if the plant's fallout was blown over Tokyo something like 150km away, it would be a different story. You can't just evacuate the 30millionsomething people in the greater area.

Apart from that, really, it's the same scenario as usual. I mean, I despise antiintellectual attitudes and am a proponent of nuclear power in principle, but if you look at the history of corruption, doctored statistics and faked reports that seems to emerge behind every lesser and larger nuclear power related accident, it almost seems like there is some secret oath people in the industry have to take to act out the role of some kind of cartoon villain or act on the other end of the scale from the green lobby's demands out of sheer childish defiance.

Also, it's Daiichi, as in "#1".

Last view: 3398 days 		So what your saying is that there isn't that much to worry about because its basically all over? Well, massively overestimated, Maybe but people think that because its nuclear that the radiation is causing cancer, but my teacher said they were sending older people because they'll die soon anyways. Noticing how this came like a few minutes or whatever after the Earthquake is leading to say that the earthquake did this? I really don't think that much because It's really all about what goes wrong, inside the plant. Something misplaced is a big deal.

Faked reports? what do you mean? I really don't see anything fake about this, Some people are lucky to be on the other side of the world, like me and the UK and rest of eastern US and Canada. Remember what happened to Chernobyl? L:ucky enough Japan's was nothing like it.


Thanks I'll change to Daiichi now.

No, what I'm saying is that much like you wouldn't smell a lot if somebody was to open a can of Surströmming in Japan and the wind eventually blew the plume over to the US, the actual partial pressure of the radioactive particles by the time the cloud from the plant reaches you is going to be neglectable and the real risk from a large range of what is already considered "abnormally high" levels of radiation is perhaps a millionth part of the risk of getting into a car accident over the course of the next year, so you really shouldn't be concerned (and even people in Japan shouldn't be in nearly the apocalyptic mood about it media around here seem to imply they should be in).

Also, re: faked reports, I was talking about this.

Last view: 3398 days 		Ahhh, I know I'm not worried about this, its not as much a crisis as it is. I know it probably killed a few people, but Nature does that redundantly. I'm sure if there was a way around this they'd of done it.


Fake reports: Ok, I get you now. Why would they make fakes? this is serious for the Japanese.
