I used to watch a lot about fukushima from this site called www.fairewinds.com - its a nuclear engineering site, the guy (arnie gundersen, who was apparently one of the main engineers on the plant) made a series of videos when this happened alerting the world that the media was not telling the truth. i havent watched in AGES but the last time i did watch - some time in april i think - he said it was already 3 x worse than chernobyl, that the nuclear reactors are burning at 5,000 degrees C (which is like as hot as the sun or something) and that there is NO WAY they can control what is happening and we are pretty much doomed. thousands upon thousands of tonnes of radioactive water have been spilling into the pacific for months, poisoning all marine life, its seeping into the soil, its spewing into the atmosphere, and apparently if the public knew for sure just how much trouble we are in there would be a mass panic and mass evacuation of Japan. Apparently the Emperor moved his family out of Tokyo, and the governor of the Fukushima prefecture moved his family somewhere else whilst going on tv telling the public that "radiation isn't that harmful and they should move back into the area and support the economy". In the end i just stopped looking because I figure if we die we die, we can't do anything about it. It makes me very sick though, and I'm frankly terrified to eat seafood or anything that comes out of Japan anymore.
