The water is being contaminated...and they have no effing clue how to stop it.  Why is this kind of thing always an after-thought?  Why are companies allowed to build nuclear reactors (or do fracking or deep well oil drilling)  when they haven’t the slightest idea how to deal with emergencies like this?

Tell me, when your aquifer is contaminated with radioactive waste….where do you go for water?  Where?

Folks, if you don’t have clean water to drink, you die.  Three days is the longest one can go without water.  Three days.

Four things you should know about Fukushima.

Being misled by media here.

And here.  See…it’s all in your head.  It’s all in your head.  It’s all in your head.

This one isn’t quite as bad as the rest, but still has false reassurances.

From the last link:

Fukushima isn’t there yet. So far, most of the material in the core, including the longest-lived isotopes, seems to have stayed there. Far less material entered the atmosphere (only 10 percent of what was released by Chernobyl), and most of that drifted over uninhabited areas of the Pacific.

Aren’t fairy tales nice?  /snark

I would like them to define “uninhabited areas”….because I’m pretty sure if the living beings in the ocean were given a voice, they would be shouting that they’re pretty damn sure they’re living in the radioactive water.  Good Grief, we human beings can be so dense sometimes….
