BREAKING NEWS



There has been a fresh fire at the quake-stricken Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant in northern Japan.

The new blaze began at reactor four. The plant has already been hit by four explosions in as many days, which have triggered radiation leaks.

Radiation levels at the plant rose sharply on Tuesday, but later fell.

Friday's 9.0-magnitude quake and tsunami devastated Japan's north-east coast, with more than 3,000 confirmed dead and thousands missing.

I said that I've read about the rods being exposed

Now I understand, we're talking at cross purposes.  That's exposed from the coolant (and I can see how that could lead to a meltdown) but it was only briefly before they had to start pouring sea water in. But they're not exposed to the outside world as happened at Chernobyl.

Don't think i'll bother my hole telling the Japanese. I'll just stick to telling the people who read and post on this board if you don't mind.

Downgraded to a 7.1, but if such quake occurred anywhere else this would be regarded as a major disaster in its own right.

Just reading about another earthquake and bad tsunami expected to follow!

Shallow-focus quake of 7.3 so could be serious tsunami.

Where does time go!

Wonder how things are now in that area?

Some of it is like Chernobyl. Abandoned and being reclaimed by nature.

The storm defence barriers in this seem a bit flimsy considering Japan is prone to these type of events.

Hard to know. It looks pretty big compared to the road running alongside it.
