Japanese earthquake

[Fear ón Srath Bán]

Radiation levels at the damaged Fukushima-Daiichi nuclear plant are continuing to rise. The Jiji Press news agency says the levels are eight times above normal. Its report also cites a ministry official as saying there is a "possibility of a radioactive leak"

I hope the pro-Nuclear Energy lobby here in Ireland are taking note.

They probably are. They are probably also taking note of how likely it would be that Ireland would be hit by an earthquake or a tsunami.

I'm so glad your crystal ball is so crystal clear in its certainty.

South of Tokyo but in very low-lying coastal area. When I was there we had frequent tsunami -sirens.  Wait and see.

Was talking to my mate who lives there via facebook he was saying he walked home from work,took him 5 hrs.
All the transport system is stopped and cars are just at a standstill, he said the quake wasn't too bad where he was, only thing that upset him was he couldn't contact home as phone lines were not working.

The pressure inside one of the six Boiling Water Reactors (BWRs) at the Fukushima-Daiichi plant has built up because the cooling system was damaged by the earthquake. The heat produced by the nuclear reaction inside the core still needs to be dissipated even after a shutdown. If the outage in the cooling system persists, eventually radiation could leak out into the environment, and, in the worst case, could cause a reactor meltdown, experts say.

Classic all right, all those who have mapped the Atlantic sea-floor.

Share the secrets with us, will ya?

Oops, I'm obviously wrong!

The sentiment here may well suggest that alright Fear

Ah jezus TO, don't tell me the irony has flown your nest yet again! 

Do you have a map of the Atlantic sea-floor?

That Fintona bollix seems to have,  but he's not sharing it!

Are you suggesting there is a possibility of a major earthquake in or around Ireland?

I'm simply saying that we don't actually know: the Atlantic is a big ocean, and we're overdue a sub-Atlantic surface ruction.
