Cause we know the UN is the expert. Next the UN will propose a no fly zone over Japan

Japan does not inspire confidence either though.

Will the UN assert authority over Japan?
We live in interesting times

Japan does not inspire confidence either though. Japan experienced a 9.0 magnitude earthquake, followed by a tsunami up to 60 feet tall covering hundreds of miles of coastline. Japan is doing a fine job considering what they were hit with. The lesson here is that 40 year old designs need to be retired and new plants built.

Fukushima could become UN Wild Life Refugee in time. Nobody will live there except animals and plants.

I view our government as coming up on the inside in a close race.

Hiroshima and Nagasaki are currently well populated health cities. The danger is exposure today.
The reports of radiation are extremely hard to interpret. Some are due to poor measurements and some are valid all reports are usually full of emotion. The hysteria of saying its 1000 times normal is quite misleading. 1000 times normal may be a safe level.
I don’t see the Japanese govt hiding anything. They are simply trying to get their hands around a massive massive problem.

Isn’t the radiation just going to continue to spread and wreak havoc on more and more of the country over time? You know, like liberalism.

spread and wreak havoc on more and more of the country over time? Yes, this is a slow motion crisis which may still be played over months. On any given day, radiation leak may not be small, but it may add up over time to the level nobody can ignore.

Sure. Until it’s contained. Right now, there’s no end in sight.

Newer designs or not, a few more lessons might be:
Don’t falsify safety inspection reports at a nuclear power plant.
Maintain and test the backup systems.
Figure out a better solution for spent fuel.

Quoting a friend of mine...
“...That is the japanese way. Ignore the reality of the issue until there is a problem and then do damage control.”

We have a better solution for spent fuel, the libratards have chosen to block it. Forcing the industry to keep hazardous materials in less secure means of storage.
