“If you believe in witchcraft or other black magic then perhaps the reaction continued after it was stopped.

Groan. Ok, lets walk through this.

First, there have been several reports in the last month of gamma rays detected from beyond the plant substantiating criticality occurring outside containment which contradicts your assessment.

“The damage is caused by over heating not a continued fission reaction.

This is a ridiculous statement to make regarding reactor fuel meltdown. If the fuel is melted and pooled at the bottom of the reactor do you really think the Uranium melted fuel is separated sufficiently to prevent fission?

It seems that if the threat of radiation in Japanses food freaks you so much and if you care about your children you would go to a different store and avoid the Japanese ones. I’m just sayin’...

There have also been numerous bogus reports.

Well yes, judging from the lack of further activity at the site.
