We all know there was an earthquake in Japan and that their nuclear plants were hit. In this article they talk about best and worst case scenario. What do you think will happen if they do cool it down or if it has a meltdown and explodes which would release massive amount if radiation into our atmosphere. Post your thoughts
Japan's Nuclear Crisis

What I think they are doing is finding a way to keep the plant so they wouldn't have to destroy it. but thats just what I think. Uranium isn't cheap.
It's only rated a scale 4 accident because the Rods haven't completely melted down yet. If one of those reactors has a complete meltdown it will be 6 times worst than the event of Chernobyl. Remember, Chernobly one only 1 ONE reactor. The Daiichi Plant has 5 or 6 reactors and 4 of them are in critical conditions. Reactor 4 is the one that uses Plutonium." Some say that this won't be as bad as Chernobyl in the Ukraine, but I can predict an increase in suicides, due to a possible economic downturn or collapse. This isn't to generalize about Japanese culture, but suicide is more common in Japan than it is in many other countries. "
Kudos to the brave men and women happily going on suicide runs into deadly doses of radiation to try and prevent catastrophe at these plants.
The emergency shut off isn't working, something explodes once a day, Radiation is getting worse (Not Chernobyl bad but still bad), and most of the people working aren't expected to live long afterwards and that's IF they manage to fix the problem.
10 U.S. Navy sailors were exposed to radiation a hundred miles away in a Carrier group and had to be an decontaminated. it was a months worth in an hour.
Don't get me wrong, I feel for the Japanese there, but this seems more and more like a hopeless situation.

All the rods have been cut off their reaction to another and dumped into the reactors, but the problem is, those containment holding the rods generate constant heat which takes months too cool down after use. 3 of the reactors look pretty bad, but from the video footage, you can still see the green water containers in tact. Since there is no no power to pump water into the containers, the emergency team has been trying to dump sea water inside it.
Right now the Japan Nuclear crisis is rated a 4 while Chernobyl is rated a 7, but if the sea water method fails and the rods melt, it will cause extreme heat with in turn will cuase explosions and all 6 of the reactors will blow up being much more bigger threat than Chernobyl.

I feel terrible for these people, but they are a strong people and will get through this disaster until the next catastrophic nuclear disaster in Japan.
I believe the news said that no body can walk inside the buildings where the reactors are because it is equal to having 10,000 X-Rays from your doctor within a single hour.
British Columbia is F******..... And I actually like most of those states! except California (Not the people, just the state... well most of the people).
wait... Washington is gonna be hit... I must save Bungie! To the MikeCopter!
