Seems like things are taking a turn for the worse now.
Reactor 3 is smoking and is suspect of containment vessel failure. Radiation has got to the point of being too dangerous for the remaining personnel to stay and they have evacuated.
Reactor 3 is the one with the MOX fuel BTW.  |

Couldn't they have just done that BEFORE they got on the plane?
Lord knows people are tense enough about odd things on planes these days. |

Word is coming out now that the recent explosion with reactor 2 may have damaged it's containment vessel and radiation has spiked in the area. Reactor 4 has a fire going on as well now.
Things certainly aren't getting better... |

| I seriously doubt something like that would happen. This is not a Chernobyl situation(bad reactor design and systematic negligence caused that). At this point it all really comes down to how the containment vessels hold up and if the fuel can be stabilized and cooled. After that, I guess Japan just ... |

| Not the first time this has happened with the FDA... Anyway, it sounds like KV's reasoning for the insane price is that it costs just a bit less than paying for a pre-term birth. "Are we not merciful?" :roll: The problem though is that the cost is going to be dumped on insurance. Either they won't c... |

Well there goes Blofeld's rocket base... again. 
I've read that's it's been erupting intermittently for the past several months. Considering it's on a different tectonic plate from the ones involved in the quake, it's a safe assumption that the eruption has little to do with the quake. |

Well it possibly could be a conflict of interest on the interrogator's part.
Could they just get a different interrogator? |
