something like this was bound to happen sooner or later. Chernobyl should have been the turning point of the world's nuclear policy  |

Nobody planned on a tsunami following a major earthquake? |

I kinda think that most of what we hear in reports is skewed to avoid panic. It's only when the s really hits the fan that we get the real deal. Fact remains a nuclear power plant has experienced a major explosion. Not good.

I think the Japanese are being purposely closed mouthed on this right now - not to be evasive but, like stated above, to avoid panic. Being stoic is their nature. I think they are attempting to handle it themselves and if they are not successful - well, we'll all know about it, won't we? |
