Sea water will cool the reactor the same but the problem is that it is corrosive. I don't think they're concerned about damaging the reactor anymore. It's already going to be decommissioned once they get the temperatures under control. Let's hope that they get it cool though because Fukushima #1 is already partially melted.
I just hope my friend in Yokohama doesn't get cancer. After the Hiroshima bombing, alot of people contracted cancer and died years later. I don't want this to happen to her, or to anyone else in Japan.
Put in 720p and watch the whole thing. It's crazy how it just destroys everything in it's path. At the 5min mark it doesn't even look like water. It looks like nothing but a flow of debris. They pull the cameras away when it's fixing to take out cars and end peoples lives.

Yokohama will have no damage. The only way a city THAT far away could ever get radiation damage is if a MUCH BIGGER thermonuclear blast were to hit. Much more than the collective output of the entire plant in Fukushima.
And it sounds macabre, but Tokyo skyscrapers would likely absorb most of the energy even if a blast did occur.
But even then, we're talking only a fraction of the entire plant and it will not overheat at this point. Worst case, you'll get a 3 mile island.

I feel bad for the Japanese people: earthquake, tsunami, nuclear meltdown, and a volcano erupted in south Japan. There are still strong aftershocks. The loss of life and property is great. There is also an environmental impact from salt and other substances contaminating the fields.
