A mother tries to talk to her daughter who has been isolated for signs of radiation after evacuating from the vicinity of Fukushima's nuclear plants, at a makeshift facility to screen, cleanse and isolate people with high radiation levels in Nihonmatsu, northern Japan, March 14, 2011, after a massive earthquake and tsunami that are feared to have killed more than 10,000 people.More information and more photos HERE at China Daily.
The nuclear fuel rods at one nuclear reactor are fully exposed.
We can only wait to see if this is going to be bad or not.
ReplyDeleteI hope for the latter.
This is truly so sad. I pray for the best, but I honestly fear the worst for the Japanese and perhaps the rest of us eventually. The end times are nearer than we can imagine.
ReplyDeleteI saw a picture today of a worker scanning a small child for radiation exposure. That was a sad picture.
ReplyDeleteChuck,
ReplyDeleteI saw that picture, too, but didn't have the heart to post it.
Fuel rods melting in three reactors?
ReplyDeleteCheck out this graphic.
ReplyDeletefull scale panic among Japan's nuclear experts
ReplyDeleteAOW, I put it up for tomorrow morning
ReplyDeleteNuclear energy is cheap and usually safe, but earthquakes combined with a tidal wave violates the design rules. I pray for Japan and her people because it seems that a worst case scenario is emerging.
ReplyDeleteThis is just an awful situation all the way around.
ReplyDeleteI fear that this is going to be worse than they Japanese are letting on. That being said, I will be happy to be wrong.
ReplyDeleteI just got up and logged on.
ReplyDeleteThe situation in Japan is growing worse:
High levels of radiation leaked from a crippled nuclear plant in tsunami-ravaged northeastern Japan after a third reactor was rocked by an explosion Tuesday and a fourth caught fire in a dramatic escalation of the 4-day-old catastrophe. The government warned 140,000 people nearby to stay indoors to avoid exposure....
According to one Japanese official, there is a very high risk of the release of more radiation.
Really sad what's happened there, I think though the world media needs to back off and let the Japanese handle this. I keep hearing hysterical reports of possible danger but the authorities are not ordering any mass fleeing.
