Re: Nuclear Meltdown?
The alternatives are not "cheap" and are not "good" and not necessarily "safe". These terms must be defined to start with.
& do you work in one of these industries? How are you informed? |

I was wondering what on earth they were meant to achieve.
The towns are probably also a bit stinky with busted plumbing and sewage being washed inland from the sea etc. |

Do those of you who support nuclear energy really not get it? :thumbdown:
There are, safe, alternatives. You can't blame nature for earthquakes and tsunamis... but you can hold man accountable for making the nuclear monster that is crippling Japan. Nuclear energy may be cheap, but that doesn't make it good. It's all a matter of seeing it quickly roll out, or over a period of many years. |

Thank you and if these efficient and technologically advanced Japanese can't get the situation under control imagine how bad it would be in an utterly corrupt country like Indonesia or India.

Btw folks ... parts of the U.S. have sold out of iodine...
People wouldn't be afraid if they thought nuclear energy was safe. |

Smoke "billowing" from No 4 reactor. (That's the one used for storing spent rods)
Source NHK World. A thought. By the end of the week the 40 or so workers on site will be dead, who will take over then if the situation hasn't been stabilised? |
Re: Nuclear Meltdown?
Gillard is finally talking about Japan. She's confirmed Aussies have been (albeit slightly) contaminated... outside the evacuation zone.
...and "at this stage" she's not making any "dire predictions" about the economy. Oh Goodo. |
