Japan - Is the Government Keeping a Secret


Japan has been struck by disaster many times before, but none like this. This disaster has destroyed the nation and has ruined lives. It has shocked the nation into what seems to be likely called Haiti's Big Brother since it has the same effect, but worse it comes with a tsunami. There's an old Japanese saying that lies come in 3's and 8's. The Japanese said a 30km radius from the reactors, but now say you should be 80km away from the reactor. Three's and eight's isn't it. Don't you think.

The nuclear situation is something the government shouldn't be counted on. When the guy in trouble says no and many other smarter people say yes, they are probably not trying to show fear and that they are stupid. They also might feel embarrassed if the ask for help. Japan is a well developed country, it's not Haiti.
Japan has felt the disaster of it's reputation.

Japan's Nuclear Reactors - A Taste of What's To Come


Japan is a country previously ravaged by a 8.9 magnitude earthquake and a devastating tsunami with devastating aftershocks. Japan hasn't recovered yet, because it's nuclear reactors are going out of control. Fukushima Dai-ichi and Fukushima II have both suffered fires, but Fukushima III is the one that changes everything.

It uses a combination of plutonium and uranium making it even more deadly than its siblings. It has suffered an explosion and cooling using sea water has been cancelled. The reserve pool has been used up and the plant is in worse shape compared to its siblings. They are trying to inject water, but so far with not much success.
Lets let the story play out and lets see where it goes. Will it Chernobyl again, this is something that I don't know, but it won't come back fast and may leave the area devastated for more than a century.
