The crisis at the Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan is not getting any better, it has just dropped from the front pages of the newspapers over the years since the accident originally occurred. It remains the worst nuclear catastrophe since the Chernobyl disaster in 1986. Estimates now predict that it will take 40 years and $300 billion to finally clean this up.
Given the nature of nuclear radiation, cleaning up after an accident is neither easy nor optional. The radioactive fuel remains lethal for hundreds or thousands of years making the containment of the sources of that radioactivity imperative. At the same time, that deadly radiation makes clean-up work extremely difficult. With 300 tons of radioactive water per day being dumped into the Pacific ocean, small amounts of which having already been detected in the ocean in California, this is a catastrophe of unimaginable proportions.

Making of another godzilla movie! Lol!
SNowflakes are NOT Only living in Calif. East Coast has a lot!!!
Gloria Pegler . No kidding . So do you think Japan’s nuclear reactor disaster will impact the east coast.. considering the vast land mass in between. . ?
My robotsan – he call in sick today!
Way over hyped.
Relax
THIS IS ONE THE WORST THINGS TO HAPPEN IN THE WORLD . THOSE IDIOTS IN JAPAN ARE DESTROYING ALL THE FISH IN THE OCEAN .. we need to blow that island off the map . They are gonna destroy the future in the OCEAN ……
WE need to blow that island off the map …THEY ARE GONNA DESTROY THE FUTURE FISH IN THE OCEAN ….THEN THE WHOLE WORLD WILL BE IN TROUBLE….
In area around Chernobyl, nothing not even wildlife can live there. If they do, they do not live a long life.
This is a main reason we should be focusing our resources on Thorium Molten Salt Reactors instead of these highly unsafe solid fuel high water pressure reactors.
Because of the initial event i believe. Im pretty sure the source is contained in a concrete tomb.
