That there are few post is probably a good sign rather than it being the calm before the storm..
In this vid notice how quiet the place is, I hope they picked up the pup and took it back to where the adult dogs were. Even after being abandoned it still sits and begs for food. I suppose they and the cattle will end up being the test subjects for the area. If this thread is still active 5 years from now do you think some will come around and say this actually was a major event?

It will mean some of the biggest wankers/attention whoers extant in Canadian cyber space have finally reached the bottom of the barrel/clawed their way through and have their grubby paws waving in the aether.

Ongoing Cover Up of Nuclear Crisis By Governments and Nuclear Power Companies

Tags:
Years before Fukushima engineer Mitsuhiko Tanaka blew the whistle on the fact that Tepco covered up a defective containment vessel, the above-quoted Japan Times article blew the whistle:
Yoichi Kikuchi, a Japanese nuclear engineer who also became a whistle-blower, has told me personally of many safety problems at Japan's nuclear power plants, such as cracks in pipes in the cooling system from vibrations in the reactor. He said the electric companies are "gambling in a dangerous game to increase profits and decrease government oversight."

You if/when it goes full scale (one big event or a slow long drawn out one) the result will be all your preparation for 'safety' was a worthless endeavor as the whole island will be contaminated and you along with it unless you can seal every hole in the human body with ducttape.

Perhaps from your sandcastle days you can recall the ratio of solids/water where sand began to flow like a liquid. Just in case they get a chance to cover it rather than trying to cool it down to save the fuel-rods that can be saved. Only prob with that operation is all the material would have to be on hand for use within just a few days (however long it would take for meltdown to get so bad the whole area would have to be totally abandoned)

Not that I think you are interested in more than boredom relief here is the summary based on a fill in the holes approach, a method that always has to be used when information is intentionally withheld. By 2021 you will know if it went full-scale ot not by just looking around you.

There is only the here and now. If tomorrow we melt, then tomorrow we melt. Life is too short to worry about tomorrow. Today is all we got. Tomorrow we may be run over by a truck (or even later today). Living in fear, especially about stuff you can do nothing about, is death.

You're right about that-I have to cycle through city traffic to work later today-that's many times more serious than something that might happen in a faraway country.

Right on. By the time you get to work it will taste like you ate a pack of matches....you won't taste the cesium 137 though. Happy trails Bill!

I believe the concern is for long-term affects, like the grandchildren of the teens of today. Given the same doses you might live to your normal age but a teen today may cash in at 40 -50 wondering why nobody alive today did a ****ing thing to safeguard the world for successive generation.

Who would be the first to die? People already at risk from cancer naturally, those with frail lungs and those just lulucky enought to get a 'glowing particle' with some big just of wind or a raindrop in the eye.
Isn't that about the time the Go starts putting out it's own version of the Jonestown kool-aid.

What can you do about how and where the Japanese build Nukes? Or anybody else for that matter. So called Western civilization has screwed future generations a thousand ways to Sunday. As a species, I fail to see how we will or should survive our own stupidity. Barring any divine or natural intervention, we will be the cause of our own destruction.

Site selection would have been approved by the UN and by the makers of the equipment, neither of those is Japanese, ever see a map of how many of those ****ing things they have?
The screw-ups can be traced back to one source, follow the money. Think big and then takes the cheapest and most risky path, if anybody complains steamroll them by feeding the masses some bull**** that will desperately cling to.

The only Bible reference to this is the one about people believing false things (not just about Scripture) because they have 'itchy ears', t6hat isn't even an end-time condition, that came into effect when it was still being written.

God isn't going to help unless the world population is going to fall below 600,000 worldwide. Remember the story about the tower of Babel, many people working together can do great things. Today international communication is a snap for the most part, so the input of many minds should be 'safer in the long-run' than obeying the dreams and wishes of just a few men who don't really give a **** about the masses. If the masses don't correct that they deserve the abuse they get.
