Thanks for posting.
IMO, there has been a lot of irresponsibly sensationalistic reporting of this event as regards the nuclear issue, with breathless predictions of a nuclear explosion (impossible), Chernobyl-style meltdown (highly, highly unlikely), to Three Mile Island-style radiation release (possible but hardly catastrophic).
The liberals will use this event to kill any effort to return to nuclear power development. As this article suggests, the actual facts argue that nuclear power can survive even a once-in-a-century earthquake. But facts don’t much matter to the left-wing propagandists.
Let’s hope that common sense prevails. But in the meantime, Canadian uranium mining stocks tanked this morning, on the weekend news.
I saw a headline: “Nuclear Reactor Explosion”
Well, of course the reactor hadn’t exploded!
Good grief!
And “partial meltdown of the core”- what a frightening generalization.
